    What I remember about this game is that this is when Tom Clancy games Peaked. This Game was gritty, realistic, difficult and definitive of the series. The Multiplayer was very sweaty and the Story is pretty much an exactly the peak of tech in the early 2000s very cool shooter. much dope.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was one of best new games to come out on the 360. The best part of the game was the multiplayer that I put many hours into with my friends.

    Just bought this game and I must say that this game was pretty hard for me. If you are a beginner to the GRAW series, this game is challenging. Graphics are superb and sound is awesome. Only reason I give it a 8/10 is because one headshot and you're dead...

    With its beautifully digitalized interpretation of warfare, its fairly interesting story, and that always-successful Tom Clancy seal of approval, "Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter" renders itself an incredibly enjoyable shooter.

    TCGRAW its traditionally a perfect example of what is a tactical war-game in a way that makes you think you're intelligent and smart to carefully move and take care of your platoon. Ignoring the graphical aspect , GRAW is marvelous.

    Decent game with good graphics at the time. I was disappointed with the fact that i couldn't switch between first and 3rd person camera. Great gameplay and cover system. Multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired. It is obvious that the majority of the production went into the single player mode. A lot of fun.

    Great addition to the Tom Clancy series. This is the best 360 game in my opinion to date. (2011) You love it or you hate it. Loved the multiplayer, Co-op and the Singleplayer was just amazing.

    Great game, the best Naruto game I have bought in a while, at a great price too! $.98 plus tax at my local wal-mart. The graphics and explorability (word?) are great and sets it apart from naruto games on nintendo consoles. If only they get some bleach games like this!

    Tom Clancy games rarely disappoint me. I had a fun time with Ghost Recon. Sadly, it was my first game i bought for the 360 and I didn't know what would happen when I pick up the 360 when it's playing a cd inside it.....(it gets scratched). The assortment of rifles, snipers, and machine guns were fun to play with. The maps were fun and I liked how I could hook up 3 other Tom Clancy games rarely disappoint me.

I am disappointed in GRAW 2 because there isn't anyone playing GRAW1 anymore and GRAW 2 isn't as good. This game was$60 well spent but there isn't many people playing it anymore so a used copy from Gamestop would well suit a gamer.… Expand

    Im a 2nd luietenant in the army and I know how to lead a squad or company.
    meaning i dont run around like a vulnerable idiot
    I play with my friends which are also in the army.

    we play tactical. Like it was real warfare and trust me this is the most realistic thing we can ever get to

    Far cry is FAR from realistic. dont even gotta question that answer

    DOOM... not even close to realistic

    the only things that arent realistic is the Weapon recoil.

    An excellent tactical shooter that's accessable enough to appeal to those who normally wouldn't play this type of game. Co-op is also excellent though the removal of the single player cover system in multiplayer is perplexing.

    An enormous improvement over the previous versions. The gameplay is solid but unforgiving, the squad commands are great and surprisingly intuitive, and the Republic-Commando-style teammate healing feature is a great plus.

    I dont know how some of you can say this game has terrible play or is a waste of money. Ive had this game for a week and im still playing it nonstop! It has extremely realistic environments and Great Hitbox's on enemies. Online is like a dream come true! The best part is when you can get a bunch of your freinds on and all work together on co-op.

    Until GRAW came along for the 360, I pretty much avoided Tom Clancy titles. However, I am very glad that I decided to purchase this along with "Perfect Dark Zero"--both are amazing first-person shooters, but GRAW takes the cake! Awesome graphics, totally immersible sound, tight controls and incredibly realistic gameplay make this one of my favorite titles by far for the 360.

    Awesome, finally a game that requires stealth and operates in a realistic manner...1 shot CAN kill you and there is no magical first aid kit to bring you back to 100% health. This forces you to think and take in the surroundings in its entirety. Only problem that I have is that there aren't enough levels (maybe because I play it too much) and some levels are extrememly harder than Awesome, finally a game that requires stealth and operates in a realistic manner...1 shot CAN kill you and there is no magical first aid kit to bring you back to 100% health.

    I played the last Ghost Recon game. It really sucked and I hated it, but then I saw such good reviews for this one and I saw my friend playing it and it looked awesome.

    stunning visuals and intense game play, make this a must-own title for strategy/shooter fans. the training mission isn't as fleshed out as it should have been for firsttime GR players; but it doesn't take long before the controls become second nature and rather fluid as you preogress through out the missions. smart and gorgeous? you bet.

    i'm beginning to notice a trend with Tom Clancy Games. the third time is always a charm. it was that way with Splinter Cell (the first two were merely OK), now thats how it is with Ghost Recon. in short: GRAW is amazing. there are very few noticable flaws, and the online is ultra-smooth (except for the occasional teleporter). one thing though: this game is HARD. unless you know i'm beginning to notice a trend with Tom Clancy Games. the third time is always a charm. it was that way with Splinter Cell (the first two were merely OK), now thats how it is with Ghost Recon. in short: GRAW is amazing. there are very few noticable flaws, and the online is ultra-smooth (except for the occasional teleporter). one thing though: this game is HARD. unless you know exactly what you're doing, expect to die SEVERAL times. the multiplayer is the best part of the game. its REALLY ADDICTING. super-smooth gameplay with even just 10 people is a rarity now-a-days, but GRAW pulls it off nicely with 16 people. the one thing that baffles me the most, however: why can't you stick yourself to a wall in Multiplayer? it makes no sense...… Expand

    I've never been a fan of the Ghost Recon franchise. I was more into SOCOM and was sure there was nothing better. Honestly, after playing GRAW for five minutes, I'll never touch SOCOM again. The game looks stunning and the gameplay is such that it makes me feel like you are actually part of the game. This is no run-'n-gun game.

    It's scary how good this game plays online. The 9 is for the things it could have polished better, like the online lobby, etc.
    This game is all about multiplayer xbox live action. Consider the campaign like Halo; a training mission. Give this game some serious consideration, and I'll be fraggin' you online!

    Best game ever!
    Guess there's no fanboy now say this can be done on a 6 years old machine. It was funny to see comments on great games such as PGR3 and CoD2, when this kind of loosers gave these game 0 (zero) and then admited they didn't own a X360.
    Tip: if you want to bash a machine/game don't grade it 0, 'cos everyone will notice you're jealous!

    This game is a ten not a 6 or lower. You guys dont understand first person tactical shooters. You say the AI sucks just you wait my friend Gears of war is primed to have the most realistic AI ever created and its supposed to rival that of humans.
