    The need to command troops might not suit everyone, or the slower, more measured approach to combat. But if you want a unique war game for your console, Ghost Recon is your only choice.
  2. GameReviewer

    As a result of the somewhat simplistic design (which allows you to enjoy Ghost Recon even if you've not played a lot of tactical shooters) and the valuable multi-player modes, this is one game that may not receive a really high score but still comes highly recommended.
  3. Gamer's Pulse

    In every respect besides multiplayer, Clancy’s Ghosts eliminate those damn pansy SEALs across the board.
  4. GameZone

    Shoots itself in the foot thanks to a ponderous control system.
  5. TotalGames.net

    They’ve simplified the game enormously and as a result it suffers.
  6. PSX Nation

    It’s an OK military shooter that just can’t measure up to the likes of “Red Faction II” or “Timesplitters 2” in variety, options and replayability.

    Sure, this game might be more accessible now, if you define "accessible" as "easily mastered by the severely brain-damaged."

    Comparing the PC version to the PS2 or XBox version is so lame. If those buyers already have it on the PC why would they get the same game Comparing the PC version to the PS2 or XBox version is so lame. If those buyers already have it on the PC why would they get the same game for their console? Think about it idiots. It's a translation. Is it fun if you never played it on the PC. uhh... YEAH! It's a good game. Ponderous controls? Whatever. Just because you have fat fingers doesn't mean a game is hard to control. I had it down in 10 minutes. If you like FPS games on the PS2 then get this game it rocks.… Expand

    Comparing this game to other 1st person shooters like Red Faction2 or Timesplitter's 2 is insane. This is a REALISTIC MILITARY 1ps. IfComparing this game to other 1st person shooters like Red Faction2 or Timesplitter's 2 is insane. This is a REALISTIC MILITARY 1ps. If that's what your looking for, search no more. This game is tight. The best feature is the mission co-op mode. Play with a buddy, it rules! The worst thing about it is that the co-op mode will not be unlocked until it's been beaten on single player mode. Don't worry though, you can find cheats on the net to unlock it right away.… Expand

I, not owning anything more than a playstation 2,At a glance, this game's graphics and avatar movement seem crude, outdated, and comical. I, not owning anything more than a playstation 2, have little experience with the more modern first person shooters and i'd bet their graphics would blow Ghost Recon away.
    However, give this game a chance, and you may find that it has something to say... Look past Ghost Recons lack of modernization. Look past its crude graphics, and you will find a good game for sure! No other first person shooter i know will take its player into the heart of Mexico to feel the sand beneath his feet, or the hot noon sun beating on his face... The cool twilight breeze in his hair. You can almost smell the gasoline leaking from the choppers as they pound above your head!
    I tell you this; by the time this game was finished i was left wanting more! Five times more!    … Expand
