Summary
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military's elite fighting unit, the Ghosts. In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat. The Ghosts will battle enemies in mountain terrains, barren deserts and even on their home turf in El Paso, Texas. Each environment presents its own benefits and challenges and will call for fresh tactical approaches. Vastly Improved Artificial Intelligence (AI): Watch your back as rebels send their own team members to flank your position or gain vantage points by utilizing vertical gameplay to pick you off from the rooftops above. Improved squad-mate AI will now feed you more of the information you need with descriptive commands. The revolutionary new Cross-Com 2.0 will give the player more information than ever before. You will be able to see what your friendly forces see in the top left display and the click of a button will expand that to full-screen view for a clearer and more precise picture. Command lethal air strikes with jet fighters, gain mobile cover for otherwise impassable situations and replenish armaments on the battlefield using an unmanned artillery MULE. Players can now heal their team on the battlefield, including squad leader Scott Mitchell, with an all-new Medic class of soldier. [Ubisoft]

GameSpy
With astounding graphics (especially for the all-important and terrifyingly frequent explosions), a sweeping symphonic soundtrack, a surprisingly deep story and a smooth multiplayer experience, GRAW 2 proves that the PS3 can perform just as well as the 360 any day of the week.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 is actually GRAW 1: Part 2. Although well made, military shooters could use some evolution. [Sept 2007]
VideoGamer
GRAW 2 is unquestionably a huge success. A short campaign aside, it does everything GRAW fans would want from a sequel and once again confirms Ubisoft as one of the leading next-gen publishers.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
The visuals are stellar, the sound is strong, the campaign is engaging and the online play will be a welcome breath of fresh air, especially for online hungry PS3 owners.
Read Full Review >GameZone
This is a worthwhile sequel that not only looks amazing but, thanks to the PlayStation 3’s innovative controls, it also feels better than the Xbox 360 version. If you’re a fan of the series or are looking for an exhilarating tactical shooter for the PS3, this is the game you really need to buy right away.
Read Full Review >PGNx Media
Nonetheless, value proposition questions aside, it’s hard to ignore that this is one the best-looking and most fun games on the PlayStation 3.

Thankfully, there are a ton of multiplayer options to keep your itchy finger on the trigger.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
A tremendous game. The visuals are a little muddier, the SIXAXIS controls are for the most part negligible, and the online lobby system isn’t as sophisticated as the Xbox 360 version, but those are all minor issues in the big picture.

Combines strategy and shooting to excellent effect. Not perfect, but it really feels like war. [Sept 2007, p.64]
Read Full Review >Game Informer
GRAW games are all about multiplayer, and this version doesn’t disappoint. PS3 owners will receive 14 additional maps, most of which are just variations on the Xbox 360 maps and a few classic ones from Ghost Recon past, and two new co-op modes that task you with locating POWs and evading enemy forces.

GRAW2 offers up a solid, though short, single-player campaign. But the bulk of its gameplay can be found in its impressive multiplayer offering.
Read Full Review >TotalPlayStation
A solid port that offers a ton of single- and multi-player content for the price, a solid if slightly campy story (your supposedly hard-assed commander is a hoot), and some seriously solid gameplay make this a joy to play through... even if you do it a couple months after the game actually came out.

GRAW 2 is full of overblown, brilliant moments with only a sporadic dose of boring levels. [Issue#157, p.82]
IGN
If you own a PS3 and haven't played GRAW 2 before, you owe it to yourself to pick the title up. The controls are easy to get into, the graphics look great, and there's a load of multiplayer options. You're looking at a fun romp … through the horror of war.
Read Full Review >Game Almighty
GRAW2 may be a few months late but the wait was definitely worth it and patient PS3 owners have been rewarded with one of the best titles for the console yet.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
More of the same, but some extra online content for PS3. [Oct 2007, p.85]
Playstation Official Magazine UK
The only real letdown is that you're not really under any serious pressure - the threat of imminent death is an illusion. The spectacle is there: huge explosions, last-minute rescues and desperate stand-offs against impossible odds. But the enemy AI lacks aggression. [Sept 2007, p.100]
GameDaily
The single-player campaign ends way too quickly, but the multiplayer campaign more than makes up for it with several co-op and competitive missions.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
If you also enjoy a bit of multiplayer combat then you should seriously consider drafting GRAW 2 into your PS3 game collection as quickly as possible.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 is a little late in coming to the PS3, but it still manages to be one of the console's most thrilling shooters.
Read Full Review >PSM Magazine
It's not too challenging, but is highly rewarding. [Nov 2007, p.77]
GamePro
Overall, if you liked the first GRAW, you can look forward to more excellent military shooter action, with excellent multiplayer features.
Read Full Review >NZGamer
Where it is impressive is in the explosion and smoke effects – the combination of high impact sound, bright/expansive visuals and the shake of your camera makes for quite an impact.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
Brings a solid multiplayer experience to the Playstation 3 with multiple modes to choose from, and it's worth checking out even if you find yourself currently immersed in "Warhawk" or "Resistance."
Read Full Review >Digital Entertainment News
Out of the two Tom Clancy games for the PS3 I'd take a look at Rainbow Six first, but both are impressive shooters for all of your military needs.

WOW. this is a classic tactical fps. good graphics and great gameplay. the AI is smart and so is your team, finally im not playing with a mentally retarded team, i feel like a real GHOST. mulitiplayer is good to.
josh s gave it a10:
This is a great sequel to GRAW this game has great graphics, the explosions are very real your squad AI is much improved from the first you dont have to worry about your squad doing anything stupid like running in front of the crossfire this is Tom Clancy's best game the only problem is that the story moves so smoothly that you might not realize how far you've gotten and might beat it before you know it, oh and the online play is not that bad either.
andrew l gave it a4:
I'm not sure what it is about tom clancy games but i cant seem to enjoy them. i managed to sit through a few stages of ghost recon, it takes a while to ignore the un-godly mess of a HUD on the screen and the over-advanced controls for a 3rd person shooter. it makes up for it in challenging gameplay (what tom clancy games are easy, right?). comparing it to something like army of two, which is basically the same mechanics just much less complicated is why i dont fancy it. but by now its fairly obvious that when you buy a tom clancy game, expect to be lost in a wasteland of advanced commands and extreme combat gameplay.
Daz L gave it a7:
Its a good game but lays deep in the shadow of CoD4.
Adeola Ola gave it a10:
Best ps3 game but here`s one thing, i have some stupid friends who see the game and say it sucks just because of the box art. BULLSHIT!!! I think people should actually PLAY games and not just judge them by looks. If anyone thinks this game is whack, they need to get a life.
Dave K. gave it a9:
Singleplayer is good but online multiplayer definetly makes this game exceptional. Servers are quick and mostly clean and the maps make playing this game so much fun! If you think medal of honor 4 is fun you need to check this one out! ITS WAY BETTER.
Ozzy K. gave it a10:
This game has captured me! It really kicks butt over the other shooter games. It has good graphics, moreso the movements of the character are soo life like. The 3rd person play style i would say is one of the main reasons i love this game. One problem though is that the game end quite quickly.
