  1. It's nice to see that developers taking the time to make this game true to Tom Clancy's vision.
  2. The gameplay is very nice, but we’re lacking seriously in the visuals department. While the levels are huge, there is this thick fog around most of them.
  3. Dated visuals, inconsistent AI, and lack of dynamic enemy placement cost it a few points. With that said, if you’re looking for an engaging and thoughtful shooter for the Xbox, I highly recommend you add Ghost Recon to your arsenal.
  4. A thinking person's shooter, and provides some solid, tense gameplay... The single player mode is good, the multiplayer outstanding.
  5. Even if you’re not a subscriber to the Xbox Live service, this game packs quite a punch with plenty of modes and missions.
  6. The simplification of the controls from the PC version to the XBOX version makes it much more accessible to those that are unfamiliar with the Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon games.

    Its slow pace, one-hit kills, and ugly graphics may turn off some gamers, but those willing to put some time and effort into the game will find a rewarding first-person shooter.
  8. What sets Ghost Recon apart from other squad based shooters is its command map.
  9. The mix of stealth, assault, night-time and other types of missions means that things never get repetitive. [Dec 2002, p.140]

    This game is like electronic crack! I bought Wolfenstein and Midtown Madness 3 and both are gathering dust as I keep coming back to GR. Multiplayer is absolutley insane, with prevelant lag being the only reason I'm not giving it a 10. The solo game? I couldn't say beacuse the multiplayer has posessed my soul. Full Review »
