A retread suitable only for hardcore Tom Clancy completists.

Computer Gaming WorldBlack Thorn’s multiplayer additions will be its main attraction. The rest is fine, if unexciting. [Feb 2002, p.86]
-
Makes a nice package, and is a good ride for fans of the series. It's probably a little rough on newbies though.
-
It's a solid but unremarkable addition to the aging tactical shooter.
-
One-shot kills make it hard to appreciate differences among the nuances of firing rate, penetration value, and stopping power.
-
In short, "Ghost Recon" is where gamers should be spending their time and money.
-
PC GamerDespite a diverse range of well-designed environments, there’s a dizzying sameness to the missions. [Jan 2002, p.73]
-
The game looks and feels out-dated.
-
When taken in isolation, Black Thorn is a competent, if somewhat uninspiring, add-on. When taken in context, it's overpriced, old-fashioned, and has been released with exquisitely bad timing.

WilliamJ.Aug 24, 2002This game is fun but gets old very fast. The only good thing is the the multiplayer at ubi.

MichaelF.Jan 31, 2002It's fine for what it is, but not nearly as good as Rogue Spear but it adds on some new guns and stuff but that's it.

AdrianP.Dec 27, 2001It falls short of expectations. Its set up is out dated and needs variation in order to keep up with the competition and counter partners.
