  • Summary: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military's elite fighting unit, the Ghosts. In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat. The Ghosts will battle enemies in mountain terrains, barren deserts and even on their home turf in El Paso, Texas. Each environment presents its own benefits and challenges and will call for fresh tactical approaches. Vastly Improved Artificial Intelligence (AI): Watch your back as rebels send their own team members to flank your position or gain vantage points by utilizing vertical gameplay to pick you off from the rooftops above. Improved squad-mate AI will now feed you more of the information you need with descriptive commands. The revolutionary new Cross-Com 2.0 will give the player more information than ever before. You will be able to see what your friendly forces see in the top left display and the click of a button will expand that to full-screen view for a clearer and more precise picture. Command lethal air strikes with jet fighters, gain mobile cover for otherwise impassable situations and replenish armaments on the battlefield using an unmanned artillery MULE. Players can now heal their team on the battlefield, including squad leader Scott Mitchell, with an all-new Medic class of soldier. [Ubisoft] Expand

    With astounding graphics (especially for the all-important and terrifyingly frequent explosions), a sweeping symphonic soundtrack, a surprisingly deep story and a smooth multiplayer experience, GRAW 2 proves that the PS3 can perform just as well as the 360 any day of the week.
  2. Combines strategy and shooting to excellent effect. Not perfect, but it really feels like war. [Sept 2007, p.64]
  3. GRAW2 offers up a solid, though short, single-player campaign. But the bulk of its gameplay can be found in its impressive multiplayer offering.
  4. Out of the two Tom Clancy games for the PS3 I'd take a look at Rainbow Six first, but both are impressive shooters for all of your military needs.

    This is a great sequel to GRAW this game has great graphics, the explosions are very real your squad AI is much improved from the first you dont have to worry about your squad doing anything stupid like running in front of the crossfire this is Tom Clancy's best game the only problem is that the story moves so smoothly that you might not realize how far you've gotten and might beat it before you know it, oh and the online play is not that bad either.

    Its a good game but lays deep in the shadow of CoD4.

    I'm not sure what it is about tom clancy games but i cant seem to enjoy them. i managed to sit through a few stages of ghost recon, it takes a while to ignore the un-godly mess of a HUD on the screen and the over-advanced controls for a 3rd person shooter. it makes up for it in challenging gameplay (what tom clancy games are easy, right?). comparing it to something like army of two, which is basically the same mechanics just much less complicated is why i dont fancy it. but by now its fairly obvious that when you buy a tom clancy game, expect to be lost in a wasteland of advanced commands and extreme combat gameplay.
