    One great feature in Live gameplay is when your teammates talk, a speaker icon appears over their head and on the compass so you know who’s talking and where they are.

    Playing alone or with online teams (Xbox Live hooks you up), you clean kraut house with sniper rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers.

    The setting is a big part of the game's appeal, dropping you in atmospheric castle tombs and creepy labs run by technicians of the black arts. [July 2003, p.74]

    First-person shooter heaven for Xbox owners. With a decent single player story mode complete with a great supernatural twist and equally wonderful visuals and sound, the action is thick enough to sink your teeth into it.

    I'm a big fan of Ghost Recon and I was hoping that this game would have been a little bit more realistic. Sadly, it turned out to be too similar to Unreal. Bottom line is, if you like the realism of GR you probably won't like this game. If you like Unreal, then this is probably something you'd enjoy. It has some interesting game features (Air Strikes, Medics that can heal, Voice Icons over people heads), but I just can't get over the games "arcadiness".… Expand
