Tom Clancy`s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter returns for a second showing of tactical shooting excitement.

Tom Clancy`s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military`s elite fighting unit, the Ghosts. In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat.

I don't usually do 5 stars, but in this case....
I'll make an exception.
First point I have to make because it ticks me off.... why do people compare this to call of duty? They are different games, period.
I love COD4. It really is a masterpiece. But this is also brilliant fun both in solo and multiplayer modes.

OK. So on we go.
I've read some harsh statements about the voice acting, and much as I'd like to stick up for the game, I can't. It's rubbish. But for me it's one of the only weak points of the game, and it certainly doesn't take any of the enjoyment away.

The graphics vary immensely. There are indeed some parts where you think that you're looking at a PS2 game. But these are coupled more often than not with beautiful crisp next-gen graphics. I think this is a beautiful game visually. The environments are very good and usually pretty large (if somewhat linear at times). But effects like fog, rain, smoke are really something to behold. Similarly the explosions from air raids and other attacks are top notch.

The gameplay itself is top drawer. There are enough solo missions to make you feel like a one man army, but there are also a whole bunch of missions where you need to work with your team of Ghosts. I like this idea. It keeps you on your toes, and keeps the game interesting.

Along with your team of ghosts, you also possess such gadgetry as an unmanned aerial drone that you can use to scout the terrain ahead and identify enemy placements. This adds to the tactical side and makes it so much more than a simple FPS game. You also have the 'mule'. A unmanned resupply vehicle that you can use to swap from say, a sniper rifle, to a close quarter heavy machine gun. Again this is brilliant as it forces you to work tactically.
I'm sure you could probably do the missions without using these gadgets, but I seriously doubt it would be as much fun. People that complain about the shortness of the game are probably those that are a bit gung-ho and who enjoy the carnage more than anything else. But for those that realise that Ghosts are meant to be invisible, this is a cracking game.

The online play ups the adrenalin rush considerably, but I think most other reviewers have already said plenty on this aspect of the game. Suffice to say, that in multiplayer all rules go out the window...

Excellent game - except for the voice talent
The game looks fantastic and is amazing fun to play. It takes a bit of time to get to grips with the complicated control system, but once you get the hang of it, it's great fun. Only loses one star because of the awful acting - really bad B-movie stuff!!

Best Title on PS3 yet
I brought this after i had great fun with rainbow six and have never played a ghost recon since the first ever one on ps2. I played the demo which i thought was great but its nothing to playing the real game. The campaign is a decent length but won't keep you going for days but then again it is always more fun in online co-op or with your mates. The online multiplayer is one of the best i have ever played with a huge amount of weapons to choose from (50+) and a ranking system. What rainbow six was lacking in its online mode this has covered it. It also has new features added unlike the xbox version like more multiplayer and co-op maps. It also uses the six axis alot but im not one for the six axis and usually end up turning it off. Overall Graw 2 is a great game and what i think is the best game out there at the moment.
