Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm (N-Gage)

Havana, 2009: Castro's death leaves a power vacuum in Cuba, and a Colombian drug cartel wants it all. The island's first free elections are under threat until the U.S. sends in the Ghosts, an elite team of Army Green Berets, as part of a UN peacekeeping force to subdue the warlords and secure the elections. Bogota, a few months later: While the Cubans revel in their newfound democracy, the Colombian cartel has set its sights on a new target: home. Readying a retaliatory blow against its own American-allied government, the Columbian cartel rocks the capital with severe explosions, including one that all but demolishes the American embassy. The Columbian government calls for assistance, and this is where you come in. Restore order in the country and eliminate the warlords and their escalating terror activities. The next instalment in the enormously popular Ghost Recon series and the second Tom Clancy title for N-Gage, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon - Jungle Storm comes packed with the intrigue, espionage, and ammo you've come to expect from this top-rated series.

Critic Reviews

92 GameZone
Ghost Recon gives you a surprising amount of control and depth for a handheld title. You can do nearly all of the actions you can in the PC version, which is a feat in and of itself.
92 PGNx Media
Throughout the game, both your team and enemy AI is quite impressive. Both will respond to fire and hide if needed. Your team will cover themselves, as will the enemies.
90 Game Power Australia
Simply looks better than any game released on Nokia's game deck before. It puts Ashen to shame and makes Tomb Raider's sparse sprawling environments and polygonal characters look amateurish...If you don't own an N-Gage, Jungle Storm is the first real reason you should consider a purchase.
90 Thunderbolt
A game I was dreading reviewing, was certain it would have blocky graphics and terrible gameplay has turned out to be immense fun.
85 GameBiz
Nokia’s little handheld is quite powerful, and this game certainly shows it. If you own an N-Gage and are remotely interested in the genre, you should pick this one up.
83 GameSpot
There are a few bumps in the overall experience, but even so, Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm is the most broadly featured, enjoyable FPS for the N-Gage yet.
80 Console Gameworld
Easily the best FPS on the admittedly sparse N-Gage FPS landscape, Jungle Storm is a great looking and enjoyable game that gets almost everything right, and ups the ante for future N-Gage FPSs.
80 N-Gage World
A true masterpiece, The game is so in-depth, well presented and yet still maintains the great game play that so many Tom Clancy fans have become accustomed to, it seems almost impossible that the games developers Game-loft have managed to squeeze this all on to a single MMC card the size of a stamp. Truly remarkable.
80 GameSpy
The game's eight stages may not seem like much, but there are three difficulty levels for each one, and they are relatively large in size. Additionally, Jungle Storm throws some Challenges at you, where you attempt to beat missions with specific parameters.
70 Electronic Gaming Monthly
The game is fun, but clunky controls hold it back. N-Gage absolutely was not made for first-person shooters. [Holiday 2004, p.142]
70 3DAvenue
A technically impressive game which is let down somewhat by the concessions that had to be made for a portable version of the franchise.
