Great Gameplay for Those who Love Small Squad Combat,
March 25, 2007 = Fun: This review is from: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (Video Game)
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 picks up where AW1 left off - and brings in a higher level of graphics as well as some new changes to the physics engine. This means if you loved AW1 you'll be thrilled - and if you weren't fond of AW1, you probably won't change your mind here.
To start with, the overall graphics are really quite nice here. The level of detail on individual characters is quite impressive, with the guns, radio, ammo, sunglasses etc. that they carry. A HUD video will pop up with news transmissions or personal broadcasts. The mini-map is in three dimensions to help you with urban assault. Pieces of paper blow down the street. Heat waves and dust storms impair your vision. You really get the sense that this world you move through is barren, dusty, hot and ominous.
The sound fits in very well with this real-world atmosphere. When you're roaming the streets of Mexico, the locals are calling out Spanish dialogue. Bullet shots zing past your head, and...Read more

I just played through this,I've been playing Rainbow Six:Vegas before so I thought I'd give this a try.First the visuals and sound are superb,the outside combat is really cool,love the maps,but the controls are lacking.My biggest complaint is the taking cover feature.In Vegas just like Gears of war you push a button to manually take cover,in this one though its automatic.You walk up to a wall and it automaticlly takes cover,this sounds good but its really not.Throughout the game I did and did not take cover when I wanted it to,it can be awkward.Having said that there is just to much good not to give it 5 stars.Be warned though Rainbowsix Vegas is a better game,so get that one first then go here.

I kind of have a love/hate relationship with sequels. When a game is great and they make a sequel one of three things can happen:
1. The sequel just stinks it up,
2. The sequel is more of the same, or
3. The sequel improves upon an already great formula.
Obviously, option 1 is bad and option 3 is great. But most sequels (GRAW2 included) fall in option 2 with hints of 1 and 3. GRAW2 is a very short game with the same graphics and gameplay as GRAW and a few improved tweaks on the multiplayer game. By itself, GRAW2 would be a good, albeit short game. But as a sequel with a year's addtional production I just expect more. This game feels more like a $60 expansion pack than a full game. With the explosion of online content for console games I expect to see this kind of crap less and less as a stand alone product and more as additional content. GRAW2 is good but I docked a star because it feels like another piece of subpar development and exploitation...Read more
