Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My First real FPS
My friend talked me into buying this game back in 2004, and I played it constantly. I just wish I still had disc 1 so i could re-install the game on my new PC.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great first FPS experience
Bought this game on a friend's recommendation. Not having a "super computer" for gaming, this game is ideal. Single player missons are great. Multiplayer mode is awesome. This game is hit with our LAN party and has become "the thing to do" on a Saturday night. Still have many faucets of the game yet to explore. Only drawback is that the game does not support the use of a handheld controller. You can, however, re-adjust your key configuration for ease of use. Enjoy.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Gold Edition is truly gold
Ghost Recon Gold Edition

This is where the terminology "oldie goldie" can actually apply. Even up to this day the game is still very much alive. There has been two expansion packs made for this game which I would urge all and any to get. These being Desert Siege and Island Thunder and as the name somewhat states they add on island, jungle features to the game and the desert aspect not to mention new weapons and missions.

There are still people active in the Ghost Recon community who still create mods and maps for the game which are great fun and believe it or not has kept the game alive.

Single player mode is great. Getting to lead my squad alpha, bravo and Charlie into battle and issuing order and see them materialize is just fantastic to watch. If you want a true dose of reality with the missions set the difficulty to hard and you will get it. It could take hours to get a mission done and a couple tries but rest assured you shall have fun doing it.

Multiplayer has quite a bit of game modes such as Hamburger Hill, Last Man Standing, Siege which to me are the top three and there are others also. Co-op can also be played with other players online as well. The most popular multiplay game mode is last man standing this is where you shall find the bulk of the players playing online.

In conclusion I would say that this game is awesome. Think about it for a while this game came out five years ago and still lives on. Why? Find out by getting the game and playing it for yourself rest assured that you won't be disappointed. I still play the game today and always look forward to taking out some tangos online after a hard day at work. Have fun on the battlefield.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ghost Recon Gold Edition - the best of the best!
Not only do you get THE BEST first person shooter of all time in Ghost Recon, but you also get the only two official expansion packs ever made - Island Thunder (the latest and best in my opinion) and Desert Siege. Now for some specifics and testimonials:

If you enjoy cooperative or squad-based gaming, Ghost Recon is the game for you. I didn't start playing GR until nearly 3 years ago, but it's the only game that has captivated me for this long. I have a group of buddies that would tell me stories about their GR LAN parties where everyone would bring their PCs, get connected to a local network and have at it for hours at a time (this was before high-speed internet was wide-spread and affordable). Sure, it sounded like fun, but can any game be THAT good? I was hooked from the first time I played! I "only" got to play for a couple hours that day, but the game was intense, the weapon selection vast and the action and teamwork non-stop. I purchased a copy for myself that weekend! There are many different types of individual, multiplayer, co-op and team play, but my favorite is cooperative missions. Up to nine players work together as a team, in three different squads completing mission objectives. You can also decide whether or not to have respawns (extra lives) and how many each player or team can have. We like keeping it as "realistic" as possible, and don't play with any extra lives - if a teammate goes down, he's not coming back to life, so you REALLY have to work closely together, use good tactics and know when and where to take cover.

There are lots of maps and terrains to choose from in GR Gold Edition - everything from snow covered mountains to rained drenched jungles to hot, burning desert sands.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I could go on and on for hours talking about the game, but the best thing to do is experience it for yourself. Happy gaming...and hoo wah!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - IT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS IT IS!!!!!!!!!!
First off, this is a fantastic game. I have the Ghost Recon and Desert Siege games already and I love 'um. I spend most of my computer time, playing them. I wanted to buy the Gold Edition so I would have Island Thunder and another copy of the ones I already have, just in case something happened to the ones I had.
BE WARNED!!!! What they are selling here, "IS NOT" for computers using a CD-ROM only! This is for DVD-ROM. They have it listed as CD-ROM, the picture of the game on the website, says CD-ROM on the box, the e-mail conformation you get after you buy it, says it's for CD-ROM and even the Packing Slip you get with the game when they send it to you, says it's for CD-ROM. When in fact, it's for DVD-ROM ONLY!
If you buy this game and don't have a DVD-ROM in your computer, you will not be able to use it. I have wasted my time buying this from the seller. when I e-mailed the seller about this, they said nobody else had complained and for me to send it back and they will credit my credit card. Will they?
