Advanced Warfighter is the first real next-gen game and it's loads of fun.
GAMEPLAY: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is a great game because the gameplay is unique. This is not your run-of-the-mill shooter where you are an invincible one-man-army with and infinitely huge arsenal. In GRAW, you lead three soldiers as you traverse through terrorist-infested Mexico City in an effort to find the President of the United States, who has been taken hostage. Your character is not invincible, instead, he has the power of advanced weaponry. The battles in GRAW are amazing because of the intense realism which hits you like a ton of bricks. There are lots of squad commands and vehicles at your disposal which help to elevate the fun. The storyline is compelling and believable, and the battles are all quite intense. The multiplayer is also fun because it is very different from the single player. There are several various modes that are all great fun, and you play from the first person perspective instead of the third. Every aspect of GRAW's gameplay is brilliant.
GRAPHICS: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was truly the first next-gen game which opened up a whole world of possibilities right before our very eyes. The graphics in GRAW are amazing. Lighting and effects are breathtaking and the environments are nearly perfect. Character models, while occasionally weak, are usually very realistic. Explosions, gunfire, and everything else looks truly astounding. This is the next generation of gaming.
SOUND: The audio in GRAW is also very strong. The voice acting is great, much better than most game. The sound effects, such as gunshots, helicopters, and the like are all very convincing. All of this just adds to the unbelievable realism.
VALUE: The single player campaign lasts a good long time and it is great fun to replay. But the multiplayer is the place to be once you have beaten story mode. There is a lot to do on Xbox Live and you will find yourself coming back for more and more for months. This game will keep you busy for ages.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is incredible. It is one of the greatest games on the 360 right now, and it is one of the best games of the year. The realism that we have come to expect from Tom Clancy is taken to a new level in this game because of the unbelievable graphics, sound, and especially the gameplay. This is a rare gem that should not be missed.
