I enjoyed it more than the original, and for $19.99 it's a total steal for an expansion.

Computer Gaming World

Smarter A.I. makes for some of the best firefights in any Red Storm game to date. [Jan 2003, p.104]

GameZone

Has enough wonderful extra and multiplayer maps to add more fuel to Ghost Recon’s highly entertaining fire.

It's more of the same. The same great gameplay. The same excellent level design. The same intense atmosphere.

Gamers' Temple

Although there are a variety of objectives among the new missions, gameplay is not changed significantly in Island Thunder.

GameSpot

Its substantial single-player campaign and new multiplayer maps and modes (when you can get into a game) are definitely worth it.

Cheat Code Central

It captures all the essence and excitement of the series even if it doesn't offer a lot of new elements.

PC Gamer

There are no huge new strides in gameplay, but the story-driven campaign is top-notch -- albeit murderously hard. [Holiday 2002, p.84]

Computer Games Magazine

The only thing you won't like is the deadly accuracy and preternatural instincts of the enemy. [Feb 2003, p.83]

Gamer's Pulse

The graphics are quite goods, as are the maps, with lots of little places to work around and use for cover. For the snipers out there, you will be pleased.

Game Over Online

The difficulty level will undoubtedly spur a few people away. It's not crazily impossible or unreasonable but it's not as easy as some of the missions presented earlier.

GameSpy

With its serviceable single-player game and a gem like the new Defend mode, Island Thunder is a tidy little bonus juuuust worth the price.

Yeah, you'll like it, but only if you were hard core about the original, or haven't played the original at all and happen to like this particular game genre.

Electric Playground

I like the new modes because each one puts the player on the defensive at some point, and I love being the centre of attention in a multiplayer game and facing overwhelming odds. Yeah, I'm a masochist, sue me.
