Fantastic Shooter, Surpasses The First GRAW In Every Way!

User Rating: 9.5 | Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 X360
I Love the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Games. I played the first GRAW soon after it came out, and before that I was never a fan of any Tom Clancy Games. I found them too mechanical, and not fun. GRAW1 changed that formula by providing an immersive story, great believable characters, and extremely solid and fun gameplay. GRAW2 improves on all those things, but it is a bit shorter.

GRAW2's story picks up shortly after the events of the first game, and throws you into a long training mission, then throws you back into the action. It takes place in the near future (hence the advanced warfighter part of the title). The story is about Latin America wanting American presence out of there countries, and they come across some weapons of mass destruction...

GRAW1 was a fantastic looking game and GRAW2 is too. All textures are really detailed. Environments are very well done and massive, which gives you a limitless amount of ways to tackle objectives.

The audio is identical to GRAW1, which isn't a bad thing. Voice acting is really well done. Explosions sound awesome. All the weapons sound powerful, as they should.

I never got into GRAW multiplayer, so no comment on that. GRAW2's campaign is a bit shorter than GRAW1. I completed GRAW2's campaign in an afternoon (6 to 8 hours). But the good Thing about the GRAWs is that there are an infinite amount of ways to tackle things, so it is fun every time you play through, and it is worth multiple play throughs.

The GRAW games are not run-n-gunners. It is a tactical shooter and you must make plans as you go along. Figure out what you are gonna do next or you WILL die, often. You do control a squad to help you complete objectives, who's A.I. is excellent.

I fell in love with GRAW. Its so friggin' good I can't stop playing it. GRAW3 is probably coming out later this year, so go play GRAW2 (and GRAW1 if you haven't yet!!
