bit-tech Shopping: UbiSoft Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 (XB360)

Rating: 10

Time with product: 2

Strengths: Good gameplay, graphics and sounds

Weaknesses: Continuation of GRAW 1?

Summary: I think GRAW 2 is very good and much better than GRAW 1. Its gameplay, AI, graphics and sounds, all of its game aspects, are improved. I like it a lot. I don't think it bothers me, but some people might think that it is a GRAW 1.5 because it is a continuation of GRAW 1 in some ways. Overall, it is an excellent game to play for fun.

Strengths: Great tactical action game, nice graphics and sound, good computer AI

Weaknesses: Singleplayer is weak compared to multiplayer, more of an evolution than a overhaul

Summary: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is a sequel to the previous title on the Xbox 360. The graphics have been cleaned up and the sound made better, making for a good feast for the eyes and ears. The gameplay has been tweaked a bit for better controls, though isn't a complete overhaul like the previous one was from previous games. The AI is upgraded, adding a bit of a challenge to the game, though the single player campaign is only a real lead-in to the online multiplayer. Previous fans will get it without hesitation, though tactical action fans should give it a look.

Strengths: Good graphics, tactical strategy is still fun

Weaknesses: Exactly what you expect in gameplay, no surprises

Summary: Tom Clancy is still lending his name to tactical shooters, and amazingly enough, they still turn out to be quality products each time. Graw 2 is very similar to Graw 1, most people will enjoy being able to jump right in with their Graw 1 play experience providing all the information necessary to be successful, but the genre is getting a little stale to me. Pick this up if you love the first one, but Vegas might be the better game.

Strengths: All the greta that made GR1 so engaging.

Weaknesses: Only a modest upgrade in graphics and gameplay.

Summary: GR1 was a great game and Ghost Recon two is just as good. However, it isn't a major leap forward in the series and more like a basic sequel. There's been some graphical and gameplay improvements but nothing major. If you liked Ghost Recon, you'll like GR2. If you haven't played GR before, you'll find an enjoyable tactical FPS for the 360 in Ghost Recon 2.
