Overall a fun game worth a rental or buying now that it's getting a bit older the price is right.

User Rating: 8.5 | Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 X360
I picked up Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 not knowing much about it other than the reviews on this site and that it obviously was a war game. My expectations weren't that high I wanted a fun shooter with a decent single player element as well as competitive online play and to this extent GRAW 2 (as it is known) delivered.

The single player campaign though relatively short is thoroughly enjoyable some good well thought out missions with satisfying outcomes, though essentially make your way to this point and kill these guys as you go. I read a few comments that the single player campaign was too short and I agree, within about 10 hours maybe less the single player campaign had finished on the normal difficult however on the hardest difficult it does become rather hard to just waltz past the enemy, the AI is intelligent enough to see you and take cover leading to many gun fights involving popping your head round a corner and popping off a few rounds then hiding back behind the wall again. Commanding your fellow Ghosts is also pain free just look at an area and press up on the D-pad to tell them to move there or down on the D-pad to make them move towards you. Having not played GRAW or any other tactical shooters of late the only game I can liken GRAW 2 to is Full spectrum Warrior which I also thoroughly enjoyed.

The multiplayer is also enjoyable given options of Solo, Team or Co-op missions. Solo and Team are nothing new much like any other shooter with the normal game modes like elimination Capture the flag king of the hill you get the picture. Co-op is a nice addition if you can get a decent team together, the only problem I have encountered with this is that the CO in Co-op seems to be forgotten you get the Rambo of the team who runs round the first corner all guns blazing and die, you then get the players who stay at the back letting you do all the work. Then you get the players who don't seem to understand the concept of cooperation so a reminder

Cooperation – co'op'er'ation (noun) Working together - the act of working or acting together to achieve a common goal

When a team mate get's wounded and falls to the floor I do my best to get to said fallen solider to heal them for the benefit of the team, it would seem however that others don't think like this they have the mentality of "I'm Rambo I don't heal my fellow team mate, I will complete this on my own" then swiftly dies as I'm not watching his back anymore!

But as with all online play it's a case of who you get thrown into a lobby with, your fellow man can make or break your experience online.
