    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!

    Wish I could give it a 7.8. Lobby system is a joke. We pay for XBLive and ... can we just get a SOCOM setup ... PLEASE! Graphics are hot! Seems like a bit of a run & gun in multiplayer ... but I've only played one night.

    Awesome, awesome, awesome. AI can be bad sometimes but that cannot take away from what really is the first proper next-gen game. Pity that MetaCritic's scoring system doesn't discount stupid low ratings that some people give to screw the average score though! [Ed: Yeah, pity]

    This is a fun and exciting game. The designers put so much detail into it. It is turning a little to much technology parts inside the. It now seems like a fantasy game. Who knows maybe we'll have plasma pistols and photon rifles on Ghost Recon 4.

    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.

    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

    Great SP graphics, terrible A.I. from friendlies and enemies and cheap deaths. Controls in SP are a little clunky, and will get you killed a lot more than your lack of knowing what to do. Overall, SP is what Full Spectrum Warrior would be if you had total control over everything.

Overall, SP is what Full Spectrum Warrior would be if you had total control over everything. MP is still crap because of the historic Ubisoft online interface of archaic menus, refreshing lists and bad online stability. Getting dropped from matches in the norm, and the graphics have been toned down in MP to about Chaos Theory graphics (but jaggier and worse lighting) which looked good a year ago on Xbox, but look way too plain now against the beautiful SP which still could look better without all the pop-up and low res texture work. Get it for online if you don't care about graphics and liked the archaic set-up of GR2 and GR2SS, because it looks and plays EXACTLY the same now, spawn camping, slow lobbies, retarded hosts that start the room and leave for an hour and all. Get it for SP because of the graphics, but don't expect to play too long once you get to the night missions which have the worst looking night vision since the first Syphon Filter games. Overall, a disappointmewnt and another reason to say the 360 still doesn't have a true next gen game since this is just BARELY an upgrade from GR2...mainly the SP graphics are the only new thing about it.… Expand

    I know PS3 is coming, but as far as here and now, it's great to own a 360! I'm a longtime fan of ghost recon, but have never been into a war game like this. A 360 must for anyone who likes to experience a game, not just play one.

    Great game. All the best bits of other titles from this genre rolled into one, but with fantastic graphics, intuitive controls (mostly) and great technology. I only wish I owned a HD tv! The balanced plot keeps the action diverse and fresh throughout. My only problem is I played this through to completion on my first weekend. What did I do then? Started a new campaign on 'Hard' Great game. All the best bits of other titles from this genre rolled into one, but with fantastic graphics, intuitive controls (mostly) and great technology.

    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!

    Everything and more you could want from a Ghost Recon game. I never realy enjoyed Ghost recon or rainbow six games on my xbox but I decided to give them a chance on the 360. The graphics are amazing the stroy is great and the game play is the best yet in this series. Ubi soft has taken advantage of the 360's potential and hands down the best game on the 360 to date.

    Fans of realistic military shooters (HALO fan boys need not apply) will rejoice. GRAW provides it all: visuals, audo, gameplay, replayability (online), story... I can't recommend this game enough.

    WOW! I was wondering when my $400+ dollar 360 purchase would finally be justified and today is the day. All of the past Ghost Recon games have been great but this is far beyond what I had expected. There are very few words that would describe this game so just go buy it ASAP! :)

    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 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. It's definetly the best shooter for the 360. I do have some problems with it. Every once in a while you will encounter a spot that you'll be stuck on for a half-an-hour, and when you try to crawl when your prone I played the last Ghost Recon game.

    And when some players will struggle to overcome the Normal default difficulty at times, the opportunity to replenish health would have been welcome.
