 Entertaining, and intense, if short October 23, 2008
I was always a fan of the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon style of deliberate gameplay. It was always more chess like than simply running around to nameless checkpoints every 2 minutes blasting things like most other FPS games. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW2) holds true to this and is an excellent and intense, if brief adventure. The gameplay is well thought out. You get a great assortment of weapons and situations, particularly when you lose most of your electronic gizmos and are left to fend for yourself. I think the door gunner levels were fun , and added variety, but weren't particularly challenging. I really enjoyed commanding my squads to pick off mercenary gunners, calling in help from the little bird choppers and shelling from the tanks, you even get to drive them.
Knowing the border area the game is set in extremely well, it is pretty fun to be under fire after a chopper crash at the Juarez square or hunting rooftop snipers in downtown El Paso . I have heard the Mexican government in Juarez wasn't happy with this game, but I think it's enjoyable to be in places I know. This is a refreshing change from the endless Normandy invasions, or drab nameless European country sides from the COD games.
I have not played the Xbox 360 version to compare, but in this PS3 port, the visuals are excellent. Speaking as a photojournalist, the use of light is really amazing and even inspiring at times. Multiplayer is good, but the textures seemed a little smoothed out, probably to reduce latency for network play, but it gets the job done. The single player campaign in GRAW2 is short which really is the game's only real flaw.
Some people will knock GRAW2 for not being Call of Duty 4 but then COD 4 isn't Metal Gear Solid 4 either. Besides, this isn't a bad thing. Though GRAW 2 has its limitations, I think COD 4, though very good action game, still feels more arcade-like than GRAW 2. I slightly prefer this type of gameplay that eschews all out body counts over a more strategic presentation. Here you can run and gun with your team, or do sneak attacks to your preference. GRAW 2 is also a great showcase for how far the series has come since its humble Ghost Recon origins, itself rooted in the now ancient original Rainbow Six play mechanics.
 One of the best shooters for PS3 September 9, 2008
Excellent game with a fairly lengthy single player campaign, and no bugs (that I found). Haven't tried multiplayer. One of the few games I own that I've replayed several times. Highly recommended.
 Should be called beginner "war" fighter July 8, 2008

As a dire fan of the PS3 and all First Person Shooter games, as well as a hard core gamer, this game was, i'm sorry to say, very dissapointing indeed.. Avoid Fancy Clancy's game -- stay well clear of it and go out there to Gamestop or wherever and buy Call of Duty 4 or GTA IV and unlike this game, you will not regret it. TRUST Me, and many others - Do Not Waste YOUR LIFE AND MONEY ON This Game that looks like it was made for dreamcast and never made it to production...
Really good game May 29, 2008
This game is so much fun. i got it for my birthday and have been playing it since. The graphics are incredible for the PS3. And when you are under attack and there is bullets flying everywhere it shakes the screen and really makes you feel like your there. This game is almost perfect except for some few minor setbacks
1. The online play is sometimes choppy and it can be hard to get into a match.
2. This game should definitly have a co-op campaign or at least let you replay the missions with 2 player. They let you do that
3. They should let you be a little more stealthy like you could in the old ghost recons like Jungle Storm. In this game it seems like they always know wher you are.
I think anyone who like military shooters will really enjoy this game. It is very exciting and fun.
Wow makes fun! May 18, 2008
