Please don't buy this game my husband played it twice and both times in different areas the game just locked up. We tried getting another disc and it did the same thing halfway through and in different missions the game once more locked up. Rent it only that way you are saved from the locking up. I believe that UBI Soft put alot of bad discs on the market and yet we haven't found one that didn't lock up. RENT DON'T BUY!!!

DONT BUY THIS GAME!...

Please read this. Althought this is a great game, the XBOX version is full of bugs, and neither UBI or Microsoft is doing anything to correct it. Please visit the support forum on their website and look at all the issue's with freezing and on-line play. The fact that UBI won't even respond makes this game not worth buying.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon sucks!

I bought this game the day it came out hoping for a fun shoot'em up experience. When you play on xblox live even with 16 people EVERY SINGLE GAME turns into a boring, pointless, frustrating snipe fest. Just about every player ALWAYS picks a sniper rifle and when the round stars every player finds some dark hole or bush to hide behind and the sniping begins. Ghost Recon multiplayer = Boring, cheap, scope camping people who all think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread because they can sit somewhere and shoot you from a mile away while your the only one in the whole game with an assault rifle. SAVE YOUR MONEY for Counter-Strike, or Soldier of Fortune for Xbox if like REAL fun multiplayer experiences. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME ITS SUCKS TERRIBLY!

i wish i could go into negative stars

one of the worst games i've played. Rented it from blockbuster. Very glad I didn't actually buy. Played it for 20 minutes and couldn't believe how bad it is. Ubi Soft made a great game with splinter cell but not sure what they were thinking with this one.

Did they release this game still in Beta version?

This is the first game that I have owned that will be going back to the store. If you are looking for a Conflict Desert Storm type game with better graphics, do not look here. There is a huge flaw in the execution of same screen co-op mode. The game only allows the selection of a primary dossier, once selected, co-op can be started, however when the game loads, no matter which profile is selected for the second player, the game will default the second player with default settings. This is a big problem if the second player wants to play with non-inverted controls. The next big disappointment was in the system link mode. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE HALO! It limits players to one player per x-box, 2 players per game, however it will play 8 games simultaneously. The design of this game was clearly written for x-box live, with little attention to system-link, or co-op modes. There are some good things, the graphics are decent, and the environments are large. Game movement is smooth, and the AI enemies are challenging. I'm left wondering if the release of this game was forced before completion, with the intention of having release titles for x-box live.

Good concept - but ultimately disappointing

I was extremely excited when I found out Ghost Recon would be a launch title for XBOX Live. Reviews gave it high marks, and the PC version won a game of the year award. But the XBOX version suffers in several areas (which I assume also apply to the PC version).

1.) The draw distance is extremely obvious with night-vision goggles on. This means that trees just pop out of nowhere ahead of you. This detracts from the immersion of the game.

2.) The game plays as if you are on a set track - meaning you cannot jump or leap down from elevations. In fact, if you are on a hill, and wish to get down from the hill, you run into a "hidden barrier" that prevents you from getting down except for a ramp-like part of the terrain.

3.) Online matches typically take a long time to load - games are usually in progress and you must wait several minutes (if not 10 minutes or more) until the game ends and you may join. I was only lucky once and got in a game before it started, but then I waited 5 minutes for enough players to join (now, I will admit, this situation may improve as the number of gamers playing the game at any one time grows, but it is still very annoying). Other XBOX Live games do not have this issue because of the way their opti-match system is set up.

Aside from these points, it is a solid game - those gamers who like a slow-paced semi-realistic war game should enjoy Ghost Recon (although the items I mentioned above do detract from the whole experience).

I would caution, however, against you gettin this game if you prefer faster-paced shooters such as Halo or Unreal Championship - it might be worthwhile to try it out in the store first, if you can. You may decide this game is not for you.

VERY disappointed

So I bought my X Box last year JUST for this game. I waited and waited and waited. Original release date was March of 2002 and they kept pushing it back. Finally was releasd last week and when I finally got it...it just plain [inhales with force]. Graphics I give a 5 stars. Playability I give 1 star. First person view [inhales with force]. Online play slow and lagging. Just not a very good game. I've been playing SOCOM: Navy Seals on PS2 and was expecting somthing along the lines of this game. Boy was I wrong. UBI needs to look at how SOCOM was made and make serious changes to the Tom Clancey game lineup. Save your money and get Unreal Championship or Splinter Cell for X Box or SOCOM: Navy Seals for PS2.

Who are you kidding?

If your looking for a good simulation of a military force moving around under your control and killing bad men, then do yourself a favor and buy Socom Navy Seals. There is nothing this game has that Socom doesn't (nothing you'd want anyway)
In ghost recon your always in 1st person. That's fine, but show me a gun and a couple of hands at least! When you shoot, bullets come out of nowhere and move in the direction of your target. Absolutely no sense that your the one firing a weapon.
To boot, the gunshots sound horrible. Again if you've played Navy Seals or Medal of Honor you WILL be disappointed.
The whole thing of being able to jump from one man to another is only confusing at best and lends nothing to being able to control the group.
While Navy Seals had some flaws like the fact that your other team members are completly incapable of throwing grenades(in single player mode anyway) and you sometimes have to repeat commands twice or even 3 or 4 times, it is still a far superior game in every sense.
I would give Navy Seals 4.5 stars.
Ghost recon barely gets away with 2
