GRAW2 Greatly improves on the original Ghost Recon in a couple of key ways, but stil has problems that are left unfixed.
PROS:
Awesome next-gen graphics
Sound, realism and controls are all very good
CONS:
Multiplayer is not the same quality as storymode, lacks in graphics, and controls, but still is enjoyable
The HUD can become crowded at times, and it can be difficult to keep track of all the units you are commading at once, not reccomeneded for little gamers

Let me begin by saying... I like Tom Clancy's games. I own or have rented most of them...
I also tend to like playing games... alone
That said, I enjoyed the single player game. Played on the harder levels, the game is a challenge, enjoyable and the plot is... well semi- kind of- plausible. The single player game, made the game enjoyable...
The multiplayer game was frustrating to say the least. If you enjoy playing with a handful of people you don't know... you will probably be okay. That said, be prepared to get chatted up by hosts more interested in talking then playing. Be prepared to get booted to make room for another player. Get prepared to get booted because you have a low rank and a higher ranked player doesn't want to lose to you (as it may in turn lower his rank). If you want to try and play with a friend, be prepared to spend some time trying to find the same ranked server... I got rid of the game earlier than expected, because of frustration with the multiplayer games...
In conclusion, if you are used to some of the frustration associated with multiplayer games on xbox live, and still love them... give this a go. If you want a challenging, rewarding single player game (though a little short), RENT THIS...

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.

A formative fan of all the UBI Soft games dating back to Rainbows, Rogue, and the Recon Series, this XBOX Release leaves a great deal to offer.
The limited number of missions, the repetitive missions just leave a sour taste in the mouth of someone whose just shelled out 50 quid.
Get a creative team to overhaul the system.
The one real positive is the ability to control your armored support, and other team members. The limited incorporation of the little birds, tanks, and armored support is tremendous.
UBISOFT, Red Storm or Tom Clancy himself need to send his creative team to Afghanistan, Baghdad, the Jungles of the Phillipines and Indonesia, even take a crack at some places in Sudan or Somalia.
This is a SHOOTER GAME, use and create some environments that are real and those that our Special Ops community are engaging in right now, TODAY! and apply these new age weapons to it.
Not the US Going to War with Mexico. Dont worry, it wont be another black hawk down, your designers are too good to let that happen.
The budgets available to these creative teams Should be tremendous given the past revenues which this game has produced. To the World Traveler, this just looks like a poor attempt to get another product on the shelf.
If this producer wants to keep his job, he will get back to what got him there.

Let me start by saying this games multi is great. The main disruption here is when someone with a questionable connection hosts a game, and it crahes once the battle begins. I haven't had more fun playing a multiplayer game on the 360. There are tons of game types. I haven't even tried them all because I'm stuck playing my favorites. The multi achievements are fair. The hardest being 1hr defend. The online community is better than most. I get more talkative server than anyother game. Overall the MP is the bread and butter of this title.
The single player on the otherhand is not that great. I only played through it for the points. I found myself bored after about an hour of play. I found the missions very easy. I had little to no trouble beating the game on hard my first and only playthrough. There is an obvious tactic they tell you off the bat, and try to hide with team options. I guess if you don't exploit the hiccup you might have a challenge. To do that you can't be lazy with the game. One thing I liked about the story was it took place in a day. None of that vague timeline business from other games. It gave the game a real feel. Also the improvement on the AI is much needed. Your people don't just stand in the open to catch rounds. On the other hand they can't hit the ground falling. I found that infuriating. The sniper is the only person who can successfully engage targets.
The grafix of this game are monster. I love 'em. The lighting! The look of the player models as they run and battle under a forrest is amazing. Watching the shadows roll up and down the combatants is a new experience. The sound effects are top notch material. I can't comment on the music, because I turn it off. The menus are easy to navigate. There is a menu option to let you view your status of achievements by a percentage rating.
All in all I'm pleased with this game. I would recommend this one for purchase. The lasting appeal of the MP will last a long while. Or at least 'til Halo 3 release.
