What our customer's say!

"Good but", I liked GRAW but it still has one problem in single player, Enemies appear out of thin air!

Bad guys who man fixed emplacements, or come rushing out of places only appear when you've reached close enough to see them.

Which kind of negates the power of a Sniper Rifle in spotting targets and sweeping areas. After scanning a building and windows and ledges for enemies I progress only to find a sniper or some other bad guy who suddenly appears because now my team is close enough and they get cut to ribbons.
What is the point in having a .50 BMG rifle if badguys beyond the range of the computer limits as your sight to badguys but not beyond the range of your rifle?

And ofcourse GRAW doesn't put badguys in the same place each time to "keep it real." I wouldn't mind this except for the aforementioned problem.
I've reached all the way to the last stand mission and this glitch is bugging the hell out of me.
So ARMA is still tops in my opinion because it doesn't have this problem all the bad guys are preloaded and don't have to appear out of thin air.

"Not too bad.", A definite improvement over the first game, you can pick up enemy weapons so now you don't have to worry about running out of ammo with the sniper plus you can carry both weapons and a sidearm for a total of three. One thing they removed from this game that the first game had that was enjoyable was when you loaded a checkpoint save, your health and your team mates health rose to full. That way you could never get stuck at a certain level with a fraction of health so one hit kills you every time. In this game that is no more like that, therefore you can get stuck at a hard point all by yourself and youre screwed, might as well start over. Unfortunately they are still in Mexico so everything still has that brownish yellow tint to it, for once I would love to see this game in a jungle environment or an urban city that isn't dust covered. Overall I was dissapointed with the end, the last level makes NO sense at all, your helicopter drops you in the middle of a bridge and you must take out 3 .50 cal gunners and a guy with an RPG-7 plus about 3 or 4 others all at once before they blow you away, one of my guys ALWAYS dies because the split second he steps away from the rope he is killed because he lands directly in fire from the .50 cal gunner. VERY ANNOYING, then when you do take them out, you must defend against a wave of soldiers, a helicopter gunship, and an APC with a mounted .50 on top. Then you must advance over the bridge to the other side whilst dodging more RPG's and snipers and a couple of mounted .50's on a rooftop. I found it IMPOSSIBLE to do this, because I am coming out of a funnel into a warfield. I fail to see how this is possible because once you get to the other end, a tank with more soldiers shows up. At this point all my guys were dead due to .50's or snipers and I used my only rocket on the helicopter gunship earlier, so its me vs the tank and about 6 guys. It was then I went online and got a trainer so I could at least finish the level before I get rid of the game. Tactically it would have made much more sense to come in from behind the bridge on both ends or cross the river at a different point. Other than that level, it is a great game.

"GRAW2 AW: A true tactical strategy / shooter", GRAW2 AW is truely awesome because it has a true tactical paradigm. You can't just run around shooting at everything and getting shot 20 times and respawning in the same place, you can't even save when you want to, the game decides where and when you can save- if you're under fire you cannot. As a player you are rewarded for using the peek around corner, crawling prone, suppressed head shots- "going recon". Plus the game is adaptive- When you are killed and restart, when you get back to the same area things will change- you won't see the same enemies in the same spots!

For me this was one of the best games ever. Being able to use a real-time zoomable HUD like in the movie "Lions for Lambs" and to see from a UAV gives the true Futuresoldier ability.

"GRAW 2", This is a great game .... AI follows orders better than GRAW (the firs GRAW), has a good and reasonable save option ... saves periodically as you accomplish things and you can save IF you are not under fire. Realistic (according to soldiers who have been to Iraq/Afgan.) and nice selection of weapons ....what can I say ...one of few FPS games (Call of Duty 4 is the other) I would play repeatedly! Immediately after which is high praise indeed!

"not as good as the older one's", Ghost Recon 2 isn't as good as the older one's, once you die that's it new game. You don't become one of the other member's. You can't change men like the older Ghost Recon game's. So have your men go 1st. But still a good game.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Advanced SP just keeps getting worse and worse...", I originally had high hopes for GRAW after seeing what they had initially promised - Next generation gaming or something? I didn't know the next generation looked so poor. I bought the game for 50 bucks and quite frankly, I would have rather paid 20.

Afterwards, having hearing about GRAW 2 I decided to give GRIN one more chance. Except this time I waited for the price to drop to 40 incase it was the same fiasco. Much to my dismay, I was right.

Now I'm kind of a picky gamer admittedly since I only buy games with brands and makers that I trust or have a million people recommend to me. If your review of Rainbow Six Vegas was about a 4.5 out of 5, then we might be viewing through the same scope.


Single Player
If you're looking for some solid SP before you get to MP, it's just horrible. Right off the bat with Mission 1, I had bad guys really, I kid you not, who were right behind me with no cover or concealment blocking their view, who didn't see or hear me shooting just a second ago. This doesn't happen all the time I grant you but still it's kind of annoying to see this. -This is with the latest 1.04 patch at the time of this writing- Better yet though, my team which was following me, also failed to notice the dudes too. So there was just a moment of "is he on my team?" "is he some kind of scripted event?" But no, it was just poor AI and you'll be seeing this a lot in the SP game.

The weapons are pretty cool though. I would say the game survives in SP off of the weapons.


MultiPlayer
MP is pretty decent if you can find a good server. Depends on your style I guess but the MP part is pretty enjoyable around the boards if you can get a decent connection.


Conclusion:
If you like MP, perhaps pick this up now that the price has dropped. But if you're looking for some solid SP as well (I mean SP is included in the money that you pay for this game so if you want your money's worth, you should have a decent SP experience as well), I would wait til the game hits the bargain bin or wait for something else to show up.

"Great game, but too short and buggy", This is a single player only review. I have yet to play the multiplayer part of this game.

The gameplay is extremely fun, and slightly more forgiving than early ghost recon games. I've only played through on normal difficulty, so I would expect the harder difficulty to get rid of that forgiving factor (as it should). The graphics are what I would expect, and the controls are the same as your typical FPS. The way that you control your fireteam is extremely useful. It takes a little getting used to (using the middle mouse button), but after a little time it works like a charm.

My complaints.
1) Too short. This is the first time I've ever made that complaint about a game. I finished this game in a week of only playing a couple of hours after work each day. 10-15 hours of gameplay if you take it slow. That's not enough for me. However, multiplayer may make up for this.
2) Buggy. The game crashed to desktop 3 or 4 times during my first time through. Teammates get stuck sometimes. Move commands don't seem to get them unstuck, but giving the follow command gets them moving again. You can then order them to a specific location. Giving the follow command to all team members when you have a tank, airstrike, and/or artillery at your disposal will lead to you being targetted by them. I got myself blown up by doing that. That's poor programming.
3) Extremely long load times. My PC isn't the cream of the crop, but it's definitely above average. 2GB of ram, 64 bit Athlon 3600, etc., etc. and the load times were probably close to 60 seconds per level. I'm just not used to that.

Despite the game's shortcomings, it is still an extremely fun game to play. Hopefully later patches fix the bugs.

UPDATE 11-20-07

I've played some multiplayer now. The multiplayer is very good. I'm not a huge fan of the deathmatch and team deathmatch modes, but that's just me. I'm not good enough yet to not get destroyed immediately. I enjoy the cooperative modes and the rebel/ghost modes the most. There are a multitude of maps available online, and you'll find that you have to download quite a few if you want to play online.

Finding a server isn't always easy either.

I would still leave my overall rating the same. The MP is good, but not good enough to account for the overly short SP campaign.

What am I playing now? I'm running back through Half Life 2 on the hardest difficulty. HL2 is still one of the best SP experiences out there.

"Great game, almost perfect, but too short", This review is based on Single Player only, I don't play MP or online.
I played GRAW1 and finally got the hang of it so I didn't die every 5 seconds (I'm an older player, so don't have the teen reflexes required), so I really enjoyed GRAW2 even more, mainly because it gives you 3 manual saves. GRAW1 had none, making it much more difficult. The GRAW2 graphics were not quite as good as GRAW1 either, and it was much too short, but overall I'd say it's one of the best and most satisfying FPS/war games I've played recently. I would have given it 5 stars had it been longer.
There are some picky complaints I had, like my team constantly badgering me when I went out alone (they tended to get in the line of fire too easily), and those generals shouting at you when they want something, but they're minor annoyances.
Also in GRAW2, Ubisoft, in their magnificent charity, lets us skip the opening ads by just clicking the mouse button, instead of having to delete movies or hack files.

"Getting Better with Old Skool Maps", If your an old skool GR (by RSE) player and still play old skool GR, you owe to yourself to stop by www.ghostrecon.net and see the Castle Day Map for GRAW by Biro.
Also worth checking are the new weapons by SnowFella and Brettzie.
The modding continues day by day with Cangaroo.TNT's Combat Search and Rescue, Total Random Respawns by Lightspeed, and Coop missions by Rpghard.
So,while your waiting for your Xbox360 to cool down from overheating and finally give you a green-cicle light, stop by www.ghostrecon.net and say hi to the fellas. Maybe join a clan.


"It's not the Xbox 360 version. Not next generation graphics.", This game is completely different than the Xbox 360 version. I was very disappointed. This game lacks all the excitement that I saw in the xbox version's trailer. Nothing exciting in this game. So far it seems I've been running around on the Mexican mountains clearing spots waiting for something fun to happen.
The graphics not involving explosions are ok. The graphics in the explosions are very POOR!!!! This game does NOT have next generation graphics!!! The Xbox 360 version is next generation. This version has a completely different story line, a boring one in my opinion.
As a first person shooting game it's ok. Nothing horrible to complain about the gameplay just don't expect anything like the Xbox 360 version.
If you want NextGen wait for CRYSIS. It will be out winter 2007 for the pc. Go check out their trailer.
