Great multiplayer makes up for a disappointing single player mode
User Rating: 9 | Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 X360
I bought this almost a year after it came out, being the first game I got on my Xbox 360. I saw a few reviews about this game and thought it looked fun. I brought it home, and it took about an hour to get used to. I was used to the run-and-gun games, and the single-player was a VERY tactical mode. It was a blast though. I couldn't wait for the next mission, because the gameplay just made sense. You never had to rush anything, in fact it was more important to take your time and form good strategies. And it had me hooked for the entire campaign... which lasted about 7 hours. Listen, single player is really fun, but very short. The multiplayer on the other hand, will keep you going on this game for quite a while. Lets get one thing straight on the multiplayer, it is a COMPLETELY different game than the single-player. Single-player is tactical, multiplayer is run-and-gun. Still, this game has good enough gameplay to fit the entire spectrum of shooters.
Now, the graphics. Wow. They were very nice. They just had great lighting, and the explosions looked pretty real. For a 360 game it doesn't have the best graphics, but they looked very nice overall. It's kind of old now though, so don't be surprised if they look outdated to you.
This game lasts. You will play it for a long time... considering you have Xbox Live. If you don't, well you're losing out on the best part of the game, which loses points for me, considering when I got this game I didn't have Xbox Live. So make sure you have Xbox Live, then get this game, it's one of those must-haves that none has.
