Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Mexico City has been overrun by terrorists and only the Ghost Recon team can restore order – through the use of extreme violence. You command not just your three team mates but a high-tech array of weapons, armoured vehicles and aircraft. The lowdown:
Although it still plays very similarly to the last Ghost Recon game this is easily the most impressive of the series so far. The graphics, particularly on the Xbox 360, are extraordinary with a whole city sprawling out in front of you at a previously unimaginable level of detail. Unlike some squad based shooters the controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to take part in the action and order about soldiers and vehicles at the same time with the minimum of fuss. The questionable artificial intelligence of your allies is the only serious flaw, but the ability to explore the city and plan your attack from any angle usually overcomes this problem. Most exciting moment:
Calling in a helicopter gunship as you and your men are pinned down by a dozen terrorists, snipers and tanks. Since you ask:
The game is set in 2013 and all of the high-tech weaponry is based on equipment the U.S. expects to have in operation by then – even the Metal Gear Solid style flying recon drones. The bottom line:
Incredible graphics and one of the best squad based shooters ever.

 Tactical shooter March 27, 2008
James Hoskins (Somerset)
This game is fantastic. It has superb graphics and gameplay and a quality storyline. however i wud have to say that to be sufficiently entertained by this game you have to be a fan of tactical shooters as opposed to a classic shoot em up. The game has squad command which isnt too complex and allows you to let your team clear out a room so you dont die - this is however optional. A good variety of weapons and good multiplayer.

As the 360 is my first console since the megadrive(!) and having played the rainbow six games on PC with mouse etc I was wondering how on earth you could translate a complex squad tactical shooter to a gamepad with only a few buttons. I was pleasantly suprised. The controls do take getting used to, but by the end of the first misson it was all coming quite naturally. It plays brilliantly too, If you ever stop and take a look around at this city its graphically brilliant, light shimmering off the high rise skyscrapers etc. The AI is fairly intelligent, focussing fire in chokeholes, making you work your way round, taking cover and reacting nicely although i've yet to encounter one that uses grenades. hat impressed me most though was the non stop aspect. You complete a mission and immediately go into your black hawk and have to use the gun to clear the landing position for your next mission...you're in enemy territory and the game makes you feel that, theres no safe place to rest up.
All in all impressed, four stars though because of a few minor gripes with the cross com controls and with the sightly linear maps, but overall a damn good buy
 What a letdown. January 5, 2007

This was one of the games that came with my Xbox 360 and after reading reviews online I had high hopes.
The graphics are alright, not as good as I was expecting though and I can't understand why there's a quote on the box that says "a masterclass in what the Xbox 360 can do."
The gameplay is incredibly complicated. There are so many controls you have to remember and that sucks a lot of fun out of the game. It's not much fun in the first place.
The worst thing about this game is that you can barely take any damage. OK, this is realistic but it makes the game needlessly hard. Especially when your squadmates have been hit and you're trying to revive them with bullets flying at you. The level of damage makes it very hard to take cover and return fire as well because every time you stick your head out to fire, there's a very high chance you'll get hit.
I've only played this game on the easiest setting and it's still proving annoyingly difficult. I'm really surprised it's got all the hype it has when only one other game I've ever owned has been this disappointing.

I bought this game based on the Ghost Recon games I played on the PC and the first Xbox. After enjoying those games I instantly picked up GRAW. I played it originally on a standard tv, even here it upheld the next gen hype, and on HD it just got better. The clarity of this game on a setting of 1080i in High Def was nothing short of exellence. The story line backs up the looks of the game nicely and the characters are believable and well scripted. Gameplay, taking cover, squad control etc is simple yet effective. The only gripe I have with the weapon controls is the length of time it takes to change from weapon to weapon. And having to change from rifle to pistol to grenades can become annoying when outnumbered and under fire.
The multiplayer side of the game is something rather special too. With a split-screen option supporting up to four people on one console, allowing four players to play online in all multiplayer modes including a small multiplayer campaign makes GRAW a very long lasting online game. System link options are also easy and very playable. An old game but worth the current asking price.
