This is an awesome tactical game. (I wouldn't call it a shooter as only about 2/10 of the time is actually engaged in shooting conflict, the rest is planning and manouvering). The team controls are slightly clumsy, making it occasionally hard or impossible to control the two teams to do what you want.

This game is da bomb yo. Most people compare the game to stuff like medal of honor and stuff like that but its totally a different genera.

Grant F. gave it a 6:
I thought this game was well put together but overall a bit of a let down. The game looks lovely in terms of detail and it's nice to have the ability to command your troops however, I found it very easy and very short. The only reason I bought this game was on the strength of Splinter Cell, which I was very impressed with, and while attention to detail was similar the missions were in GR where too easy and very very short.

Compared to previous Clancy games like rainbow six and so on, there are much more advancments to this game, more weapon optoins, more comand options and simply better missions, not like the kind where you have to sneak through an entire level without being seen, "nearly impossible" , This game just like previous Clancy games is a winner, and shouldn't be compared to games that lack patience.

Seymore Butts gave it a 9:
First of all Tom Clancy games are meant to be realistic. Ghost Recon requires you to plan, use cover and stealth, and control of you weapon. This game just isn't the run and gun shooters like Red Faction. If you get hit in the head your dead. Sometimes you can take a few rounds before kickin the bucket. The gear and weaponry is all realistic which is a plus for all us gun nutts out there. The controls are easy to get use to. The graphics are great for ps2. The whole idea of this game is realism. It's great to see the tracers fly back and forth during intense firefights, and seeing your teamate with a m249saw mowing down the tangnos. I love the fact you can use mounted .50 cals, m136 anti-tank rockets, and gernade launchers. This game rocks and anyone who says it doesn't probably smokes crack...
