    I thought this game was well put together but overall a bit of a let down. The game looks lovely in terms of detail and it's nice to have the ability to command your troops however, I found it very easy and very short. The only reason I bought this game was on the strength of Splinter Cell, which I was very impressed with, and while attention to detail was similar the missions were I thought this game was well put together but overall a bit of a let down.

    Comparing this game to other 1st person shooters like Red Faction2 or Timesplitter's 2 is insane. This is a REALISTIC MILITARY 1ps. If that's what your looking for, search no more. This game is tight. The best feature is the mission co-op mode. Play with a buddy, it rules! The worst thing about it is that the co-op mode will not be unlocked until it's been beaten onComparing this game to other 1st person shooters like Red Faction2 or Timesplitter's 2 is insane.

    The reason why i gave it a 6 is because after playing SOCOM it kind of sucked. What i liked about it is that two players can team up to beat the bad guys or face each other. but i you're planning on playing by yourself better get SOCOM US NAVY SEALS. (Badass game)

    I'm giving it a 10, cause it was sweet on every system. Maybe ps2 users don't like it cause you can't randomly beat women or there's no hentia to jack off too. and PSX nation comparing a Tactical Shooter to regular shooters like timesplitters 2 or red faction 2 is a sorry waste of time, all except the shoot part is different.

    Yes, this game has problems, and yes, I have a problem with it saying "GAME OF THE YEAR!" on the box. Who said that? Okay, it's not bad, as I said, it does have problems, and you'd be better off playing "Timesplitters 2" or "Halo", but people, not all games are perfect!

    Compared to previous Clancy games like rainbow six and so on, there are much more advancments to this game, more weapon optoins, more comand options and simply better missions, not like the kind where you have to sneak through an entire level without being seen, "nearly impossible" , This game just like previous Clancy games is a winner, and shouldn't be compared to games that lack patience.

    This is an awesome tactical game. (I wouldn't call it a shooter as only about 2/10 of the time is actually engaged in shooting conflict, the rest is planning and manouvering). The team controls are slightly clumsy, making it occasionally hard or impossible to control the two teams to do what you want.

    Comparing the PC version to the PS2 or XBox version is so lame. If those buyers already have it on the PC why would they get the same game for their console? Think about it idiots. It's a translation. Is it fun if you never played it on the PC. uhh... YEAH! It's a good game. Ponderous controls? Whatever.

    The PS2 port of Ghost Recon was simplified. It's not as good as the Xbox/PC game, but still provides some tactical fun. Sadly, the online multiplayer is missing. Also, in the campaign, you only control two teams, not three. But this version does include split-screen for cooperative missions and a Versus mode. In addition, eight levels from the "Desert Siege" expansion are included. There'sThe PS2 port of Ghost Recon was simplified.

    At a glance, this game's graphics and avatar movement seem crude, outdated, and comical. I, not owning anything more than a playstation 2, have little experience with the more modern first person shooters and i'd bet their graphics would blow Ghost Recon away.
    However, give this game a chance, and you may find that it has something to say... Look past Ghost Recons lack of modernization.

Look past its crude graphics, and you will find a good game for sure! No other first person shooter i know will take its player into the heart of Mexico to feel the sand beneath his feet, or the hot noon sun beating on his face... The cool twilight breeze in his hair. You can almost smell the gasoline leaking from the choppers as they pound above your head!
    I tell you this; by the time this game was finished i was left wanting more! Five times more!    … Expand

    that's right and a fps of respect, neither the enemies nor the blood disappear, your squad hardly doesn't obey the commands, easy difficulty, smart enemies, the weapons have a fair precision and the commands are simple. one of the few games where the ps2 version is better than the pc

    In every respect besides multiplayer, Clancy’s Ghosts eliminate those damn pansy SEALs across the board.

    Dumbing a game down for consoles is one thing, but it's another thing entirely to give the player so many advantages that the game is no longer fun.
