  • Summary: Take command of the Ghosts through a series of missions that range from demolitions, to search and rescue, to all-out firefights for survival. Features squad-based tactical combat with next-generation military action in stunning 3D environments and a mission-driven storyline with 15 different singleplayer maps (as big as 400m x 400m), and 6 dedicated multiplayer maps.

  1. Richly designed and well-balanced gameplay, adding new squad-based and tactical interfaces to an already complex style of play, Ghost Recon is the thinking man’s shooter.
  2. Ghost Recon's Interface is the smoothest I've seen in any of the titles in the genre.
  3. Ghost Recon has some real strengths, but handholding micromanagement, an awkward interface, bugs, and other problems and weaknesses often sap the fun out of the game just when it starts to get entertaining.
  4. 40
    Same old formula adds nothing new to the genre.

    THE Tactical Shooter. Takes everything that made the rainbow six & rogue spear series entertaining, and mixes it up with a bit more action, and blends together the planning and execution phase - bring up the map anytime, switch which soldier you're commanding in the middle of action, etc... __Also has two great expansion packs.

  2. This game brings back so many of my childhood memories, and this game was awesome.
  3. I recently picked this up in a Steam package deal, but I owned and completed it many years ago on multiple platforms. Ghost Recon is a wonderful game that really holds up very well; even 9 years after its release. The quick-save feature alone makes this game exceptionally gratifying. If you like fast-paced "arcadey" FPS games, stick to Call of Duty. If you like strategical, stealthy, challenging, rewarding, military FPS games, this one is for you. I was immersed in every single mission presented to me and I didn't want it to end. Expand
  4. Without going into detail, the game is good but dated. It came out several months after Operation Flashpoint and is inferior in almost every meaningful way. Expand
