    Future Soldier finds the perfect balance between the classic tactical shooter experience and the more modern high-octane approach that today's gamers crave.

    Future Soldier is an unexpected surprise. The single player campaign is solid and well-paced, and lets the player experience a wide variety of situations. It reaches a modest perfection if played in co-op with 3 other friends.

    This game is very good. A 10-12 hour campaign, that can all be played cooperatively, is supported by a good handful of multiplayer offerings. The "story" seems relative and sets the stage for a great experience, even with it being a bit repetitive.

    A tactical shooter with focus on stealth and teamwork. Buy it for the multiplayer modes and play with a team of friends, as the campaign is missing a large portion of the Ghost Recon-identity.

  2. WIth everyone clamoring over MW3 and BF3 for top spot in the shooter multiplayer genre, it's hard not to compare any military based shooter that comes out today. Which does not do justice for Ghost Recon Future Soldier. It is not trying to be like the Call of Dutys or Battefields today, it's a slower paced shooter based around having strategy and choosing your type of approach to battle situations and having fun taking them out super ninja style. The story follows the typical cliche of "oh no there's bad guys gonna blow everything up and we have to stop them", but hey...if it ain't broke don't fix it. But it is still fun and halfway more believable than most campaigns in recent memory. What drives this game ahead of competition for me is the gameplay and innovation they tried to capture in multiplayer. Using teamwork is critical and very satisfying when you completely dominate the opposition. Gunsmith mode allows for countless ways to edit your classes, and the one knock everyone seems to have is it's visuals. It's being said that it truly seems like a game of the past because of small visual nit-picks here and there like bad facial features or blades of grass being unrealistic to your character. If you want to compare it to games like MW3, it has many of those same problems visually, so what. Gameplay is what's important, and Ghost Recon definitely is a must play. Expand
  3. The campaign is one of the most riveting ones available on the market compared to other militar shooter stories, examples: COD, Battlefield, SOCOM and Medal of Honor. Graphics are great not excellent (Battlefield much better) concept and options (customizations) awesome. Online play- the worst of any shooter game ever!!! If you are an online gamer don't even bother buying this so-called game, the connection issues are unbearable and make you wish for a refund. Expand

    Sorry but this is not one of the Ghost Recon games anymore. I can best desribe it as a bad Gears of Ghostduty. Lame story, cool gadgets. You feel like a robot and you AI-squadmates follow the paths the devlopers gave them, you cannot make them stop or follow. This game really is bad. Where is Team Deathmatch in multiplayer? Where are the huge wilderness-maps in multiplayer? The aiming is too very bad in multiplayer. I am very disappointed and I hope Ubisoft will never make again a game like this one, either make one in the Old school Ghost Recon style or just stop programming bad games like that. Expand
