While the graphics could have use a boost, the gameplay and great multiplayer make this an awesome Xbox shooter.

User Rating: 8.8 | Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon XBOX
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is the first part in a now legendary series, but the first game itsself can be considered a very good way to start out. The graphics need a boost, especially if it was released about a year after Halo. But the gameplay is where the game really shines, and the multiplayer, online or off provides a great strategical experience that any shooter fan will easily fall in love with. Gameplay

The gameplay in Ghost Recon is superb. You have a great amount of guns to carry, which really adds strategy, as some guns are better for some missions than others.

At the beginning of every Ghost Recon game, whether you're playing multiplayer or single player, you will be able to choose three soldiers for every team, or squad; in which there are two, Alpha and Bravo team.

You can choose from Riflemen, Snipers, Anti-Tankmen, and more, and you will need some of them, but not others, depending on your mission type, and the map that you're playing in.

There are a lot of maps, about a dozen, and none are too similar, so they will always need a new strategy, which should keep the player on his toes.

It's great playing on multiplayer, whether online or offline. You can play cooperative or adversarial, and both are great.

It's good fun making strategies with your friends, and it is made very well.

Graphics

The texture are horrendous, and the character models, lighting/shadowing, and other items in the game could have been improved on. Especially considering that Halo was released just a year before this game was.

You cannot see your gun, shich isn't bothersome, but more of a realizm problem.

Sound

The sound is below average. With a bit of talking from your troops, when given orders such as "I'll be on my way", and stuff like that.

Overall the gun noises, explosions, etc. all sound average, but one thng that is neat, is that if something explodes near you, there will be a ringing noise, just like there would be in real life. Overall

Overall, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is a fun tactical FPS, that is great to play alone, or with friends. The Xbox Live is great as well. While the graphics aren't that great, the gameplay makes up for it, and makes it playable.

I recommend this one, definately pick it up.
