    This game would be the perfect game if the side missions weren't all alike. The main story and collectibles are sufficient. The map is very nice. The characters played very well. I rarely come across bugs. Apart from that, there are many types of weapons and the game has re-playability.

    My only two complaints are the repetitive missions and the BAD dialogue. The story is good, not as good as Future Soldier, but it's still good. It lets you complete the story however you want, and offers up some satisfying moments. Co Op is the games strong suite.

    If I had known this was just third person Far Cry I would have sprung for it a long time ago - but at least it was cheaper and jammed with dlc by the time I got it. To be fair to the negative reviews, I happen to love the one game Ubisoft makes, and this is trés Ubisoft

The in and out scaling of the model geometry is smooth, the various surfaces act differently, the weather and daylight effects are exquisite. The game is simply beautiful.

    The solo "campaign" becomes very repetitive very soon, though. And the storyline is nothing to write home about. Since I have yet to try this out with mates, I cannot say anything about co-OP, but I imagine that will provide hours more of fun.

    As it is. If you want one of the Ghost Recon games, this is the one to get. The follow up doesn't measure up.    … Expand

    In this review, only the negative aspects of the game are considered. The purpose of this work is to help you to get a better decision on the purchase of the game

    My Rating: 9 of 10

    Weak points :
    - This game is unique. It's not boring if you play for hours
    The only major problem is vehicle physics and accidents
    (Although some characters movements glitches can be ignored)

    As a long-time fan of the Ghost Recon series - and Tom Clancy games in general - I would have been perfectly happy with a traditional Ghost Recon game, but what we got instead was a Ghost Recon game that took a few bold steps in a new direction. It would be a bit simplistic to call this game GTA Ghost Recon, but that's essentially what it is: a vast open-world to explore and take part in.

    The game features a pretty massive open-world in which you undertake various story missions, side quests, and optional objectives to try and damage a fictional (but pretty realistic) drug cartel. One of the reasons I think this game was unfairly judged by the games press is because of its politically incorrect nature; the game takes place in a real country, in a region that is and has been plagued by drugs and drug-related violence. The portrayal of this in game terms is pretty realistic, as you'll hear locals and radio station hosts talking about the cartel, various pro-cartel propaganda pieces, etc. I think the game does a good job of showing just how much control these cartels exercise over local populations and officials, even businesses (several missions involve the links between the cartel and businesses).

    I also think the game was judged harshly because military-themed games like this are not contemporarily popular, at least among game journalists. But Ghost Recon games have never been about mindless corridor-shooting, and neither is WIldlands...which brings me to my next point: the gun-play and the game systems. As with most Tom Clancy games, the guns function and sound realistically. There's also a wide variety of firearms and types, from submachine guns and assault rifles to sniper rifles and shotguns; the game gives you access to myriad types of hardware so you can tackle objectives in whatever way you see fit.

    Having the freedom to attack an outpost or base head-on, guns blazing, or stealthily taking out scouts and guards, carefully scanning the area with drones and marking enemies, is extremely fun. There are a few missions that will force you to remain undetected, but by and large, you can tackle missions, side missions, supply raids, etc. in the way you want to, and I really enjoy that about the game.

    So far, we've sunk about 60 or so hours into the game over a few weeks, and we've had an absolute blast. It's extremely fun to sneak into a base, disable a generator and release prisoners, then get spotted trying to sneak back out and trying to blast your way through the front gate. There are so many adrenaline-filled situations you'll find yourself in, whether providing suppressing fire from a helicopter or vehicle, to trying to escape an underground facility, that it's hard to understand some of the flak this game has received. While the AI certainly won't win any awards, it's hardly the worst AI I've seen in a game; enemies behave and react in a fairly realistic and consistent manner.

    Considering the staggering amount of content (from PvP to co-op and Ghost Mode and beyond) it's easy to suggest this game for anyone, veterans or new players to Ghost Recon alike, that's looking for a fun and engaging co-op shooter that never feels dull. This game is awesome and I had held off on getting it for so long because of the mediocre reviews, but I'm glad i decided to try it out for myself, because this has become one of my favorite games of this generation. I'm eagerly looking forward to the follow-up coming out later this year.    … Expand

    There are also loads of weapons to unlock or find in the world, which can then we customized with loads of gadgets or camoes, which also need to be unlocked and found.

    And getting around the world is no trouble either, because you have a lot of different vehicles to pick from or if you don’t want to drive or fly anything, you have the option to fast travel, which is very useful due to the work being enormous.

    Really my only reason for the 9 and not 10, is there’s always room for improvement. That being said, I’d call GR Wildlands the best game i’ve plaid in the last decade.

    Now admitedly my selection of games is widely skewed from the average gamer. I favor the single player games and when I do buy an FPS shooter I rarely venture into the online play once I complete the campaign.    Really my only reason for the 9 and not 10, is there’s always room for improvement. That being said, I’d call GR Wildlands the best game i’ve plaid in the last decade.

    Now admitedly my selection of games is widely skewed from the average gamer. I favor the single player games and when I do buy an FPS shooter I rarely venture into the online play once I complete the campaign.

    Wildlands offers a fantastic story experience set in a massive openworld. I read a lot of action/thriller/expionage novels, and playing this game was like acting one of them out. The autonomy of the story itself was appealing enough to get my immediate thumbs up. “Here’s a drug cartel, take it down.” Thats essentially all the guidance you get. Different aspects of the cartel are ranked by difficulty, to help guide you away from picking battles you are highly under supplied to take on. However, if you wanted, right from the start of the game you could drive right up to the head honcho’s gate and kick it down guns blazing.

    The gameplay favors the stealth approach but does not enforce it, another great aspect. I found myself taking the stealth approach on almost every mission and going loud at the first sign of trouble. I loved the use of silenced weapons, the drones for recon, the locals for reinforcements and neccesity to find better weapons. I happened to have played through the game using cpu as my 3 crew members, despite the AI controled they were very useful and have a variety of functional commands to give. Had i been able to synchronize my playing time with friends online, i’m sure Co-Op play would have made it even better.

    The graphics, sounds, movement and emursion were outstanding. Even the banter between your team feals realistic. At one point the game auto-updated and the helicopter controls were sort of “dumbed down” but i was very pleased to find within the options, a return to “classic controls.”

    At my time of writing this, there is a new DLC for pvp multiplayer which I have not played and do not plan to. I did purchase and play the Fallen Ghosts dlc, which was great. Similar to the main campaign but with a substantial increase in enemy skill/weapons including some invisible cloaking. You also don’t pick up where you left off, per say. That is, after finishing the main story, you have quite an arsenal of bad a$$ guns. But when you crash land at the start of Fallen Ghosts you start out empty handed. This served to up the difficulty be in a good way, i remember it being difficult to accumulate some weapons but not impossible.

    I have very few gripes with Wild Lands, but since it’s a review and not an award session. The missions can be somewhat repetitive without any major changes aside from difficulty. However, for me just the change of location, geography and buildings was enough to keep it interesting.

    Overall I’d say Ghost Recon Wildlands is an absolute MUST for fans of single player action games. For those who favor the pvp stylings of the Call of Duty series, i would also recommend the game for a change of pace but it’s not a “must have” for you as it is certainly not a Run-and-Gun shooter.    … Expand

    This game has gotten a lot of negative and mixed reviews, and I can see why.

    At first glimpse, it's just another Ubisoft Open World game. A lot of repetitive icon collecting, and a
    bland storyline filled with cheap action movie clichés and soulless characters.
    A few other negative aspects:
    Team AI is useless except for sync shots and reviving. You're basically on your own if you play
    offline.
    Also, driving and flying feels cheap and arcade-y.

    With difficulty set on medium, and all HUD elements activated, it plays like a mildly stealthy 3rd-person- shooter: Follow the yellow line on the minimap, mark the enemies with big red dots, watch out for the big white directional arrow that tells you from where you are being spotted. Kill all the red dots - sorry, bad guys - on your screen/minimap, advance to next mission icon, collect skill icons, etc.
    Playing the game like this, I'd give it maybe 5 or 6/10.

    The whole thing drastically changes, however, when you set the difficulty to the highest level, and disable as many HUD elements as possible. I don't play like that to prove something, or feel like a pro gamer dude. But if you have only your eyes and ears, without minimaps and helping icons, it feels a LOT more realistic.
    You will die from 2 or 3 shots, and you won't be able to see enemies through walls. If you get spotted, enemies will charge at you from all sides. This makes direct confrontation and Rambo-playstyle almost impossible, forcing you to play tactically and think about every move you make. It makes every infiltration so much more intense. Moving slow, being aware of your surroundings, all that greatly adds to the immersion.
    Plus, without all the blinking icons you can actually enjoy the graphics of this game. The environment looks amazing, weather and lighting effects are beautiful, and the different regions are extremely diverse.

    I understand that playing in "realistic mode" is not for everyone. It's much harder, and every mistake you make is severely punished; even more so when playing offline, having to rely on your utterly incapable AI- teammates. On the other hand, infiltrating an outpost, stealing a weapon and extracting without being detected, feels so much more satisfying. If you like tactical gameplay and stealth, you will have fun. The underwhelming story is just a framework for the game, I don't pay any attention to it at all.

    I also enjoyed the gun and character customization. Big playground for gun nuts. Every weapon has a different feel to it, and there is a huge selection of attachments, colors, etc.
    You can change your outfits depending on your location, there's lots different clothes, accessories and camoflages to choose from.

    Wildlands on hard mode kind of reminded me of a bigger version of Metal Gear Solid 5, although the stealth mechanics and AI are not as refined as in MGS5.

    There has been a lot of criticism as to the repetitive nature of this game. I must say, to me it doesn't
    feel repetitive at all. There's extraction, clearing buildings, stealing planes and helicopters,
    destroying equipment, capturing convois, and more. Sure, those missions are the same in every region of the game, but in addition to the changing landscapes, weather, environment, day/night-cycle, you can approach each of those missions in different ways.

    Playing online can be more fun, but it depends who you are playing with. Also, a special PvP mode with smaller maps will be introduced in the next months. I played the PvP beta, it was fairly enjoyable.

    Ultimately, how much you will enjoy this game will depend on your own creativity and playstyle. It can be either a dumbed-down Bolivian Grand Theft Auto experience without the interesting story and characters, or a tough, tactical military RPG. I would definetely recommend it, especially now when you can get it for a lot less than 60 bucks.    … Expand

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands is by no means a terrible, or even bad, game: it provides moments of intense fun, particularly with friends, when you're trying to clear out a base without being detected. Yet, it has some serious issues. The A.I. coding is just not good; the huge draw distances causes stutter and screen-tearing on consoles; and even though there is undeniably a lot of content in the form of missions and things to collect, it does become repetitive and dull—just how quickly it becomes a drag depends on your tolerance for walking around and collecting things, I suppose. But if you don't have friends to play with, and you have to rely on boneheaded teammate A.I. to help you fight questionable and irrational enemy A.I., then the game's problems are amplified.

    Basically, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a good game. It offers you a big wide world with many missions and possibilities. It combines the tactical gameplay we all know and love from other Ghost Recon games, with all of these elements spread out on the beautiful map of Bolivia. But its repetitiveness, forgettable story and the trouble finding a decent team make its problems more obvious than ever.
