Manufacturer's Description
In Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, war has broken out on the borders of Russia and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. That's when the call goes out for the Ghosts – an elite handful of specially trained U.S. Army Green Berets, armed with the latest technology and trained to use the deadliest weapons. Their mission: Spearhead the way for a NATO peacekeeping force, and keep the lid on the conflict before it mushrooms... literally.

Customer Reviews

A Tense one
Ghost Recon is in my view another top Xbox game for a number of reasons:
the game itself is true to the Tom Clancy style, a well aimed shot will take you down in one so stealth and tactics are a nessecity.
Single player: solo play offers 50 tasks to be completed, some of these are the missions themselves others are not given away immediately. The AI is excellent, the enemy will take cover, lie on the ground to shoot at you and some will even try to flank your squad.
The controls are effective and the ability to control a squad one rarely available in FPS.
The multiplayer is where its really at, whether split screen, system link or Xbox live the multiplayer is superb. There are various modes, Co-op, King of the Hill and a nice array of other team and solo games.
The graphics in Ghost Recon are ample and what is to be expected from an Xbox. The character models are particulalry nice.
Fans of games which require a thinking player will find Ghost Recon to be a sure winner. Especially when tensely watching an enemy soldier stroll into your sniper sights.
I gave it 5 stars due to its different gamestyle, anyone who charges in guns blazing will soon find out how not to play this game.
I personally recommend this to anyone who likes a slower style of game as a change to Unreal Championship and Halo.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE BUYING THE 'XBOX CLASSICS' Ed.
There are two editions of this most awesome XBox original title now. The original release hasn't significantly dropped in price but the 'XBox Classics' edition is just a little over half of the current price for the same product.
Watch out because each editions' reviews are displayed on the other's pages.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE BUYING THE RIGHT ONE - your wallet will thank you for it!

The Best XBox Game Around
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is a superb tactical first person shooter. This game manages to hit all the right spots.

The graphics are superb and are exactly what you would expect from the XBox. Couple this to the awesome atmospherical sound effects in the game and you have the perfect combination. With a 5.1 surround sound system you could close your eyes and you would still know where you enemy was.

The gameplay is also superb. After a brief training session I had the control figured out, and the game is not too hard on it's easiest difficulty level so it won't put you off easily(though the game is not so easy that you can complete all the missions first time).

Also worth mentioning is that you can play this game in multiplayer mode using the XBox system link, and more significantly the XBox Live Service.

The XBox Live service currently requires a subscription fee (through a major credit card) and a Broadband internet connection. If you have both of these though, you'll be in gaming heaven. Team up with players from around the world, and stalk your enemies whilst relaying messages to each other through your communictor headsets. The game has a number of different multiplayer modes, and there's bound to be one that will suit most people's tastes.

This game is not Unreal Championship - rush in, guns blazing and you WILL die. Stalk your enemy using sneak tactics and you have a chance. This is a game of stealth and patience, if you think you will enjoy that then you will enjoy this game. 5/5
