Whether a Ghost Recon fan or not, this game will appeal to you. First of all, it is the best looking game on the 360 (Oblivion compares, but has minor glitches at times) and it is packed full of the standard GR content. Order your troops to specific locations, put them on alert or laid back and use special tactics to overcome the enemy. As you know this is set in 2013, so they have incorporated futuristic technology to give the player a new combat experience. You have a light blue outline around your squad and a red outline around the enemy. You can also snipe through walls and use a remote controlled hovercraft to percieve your environment and the enemies in the area. Although those are pretty cool, the gameplay lacks control and you will find yourself dying over and over and over again due to faulty gameplay and the lack of you squad's AI. Also, now instantaneous grenade throwing. You instead have to change completely to grenades as your only weapon, gauge your distance with a fluxuant bar and and then wait 5 seconds for it to explode. Now that specific details have been discussed, here's the rubric. Gameplay: Overall good, but has limitations that make it frustrating Graphics: Excellent. Superb. Spectacular. Your own adjective here _______ Sound: Great. Machinery and voice variations superb. Value: Best action game on 360 and one of the best available. Graphics can't be beat and new futuristic gameplay very fun to use and quite effective during combat To buy or not to buy: Unless you are considering Oblivion or GRAW, get Oblivion, otherwise BUY NOW
