Summary: Ghost Recon 2
Comment: This is a great game if you like tactical shooters, the graphics are great and the game overall is really visually inviting. The storyline is not much to think about but I won't ruin it for you, let me just say don't expect any surprises. The next problem is the AI is really a problem, your team sometimes they just sit there and let you do all the work. As for the enemies they will run and advance towards you but when you shoot them they don't even act like their shot, they just sort of lay down. Another part I want to point out that I found disappointing, the multiplayer is great live but splitscreen they toned it down from what it used to be in originals. Splitscreen with just two people doesn't allow you to pick a whole ghost team but puts you solo against your oponent. Your not going 4 ghost against 4 ghost but more of a oo7 type style of splitscreen. But there is co-op also. One last thing, it also lets you go back through the missions and play lone wolf with high tech gear and recon and other different ways to take to the fight of your choosing. However if you mind the few quirks ubisoft has left and you like the original series, this game might be for you. I liked the game overall, it presents challenges. Then again I still think if I knew what this game was really like I wouldn't have bought it. If

Summary: Not worth it. This is not Ghost Recon
Comment: I bought this game on the strength of the Original and Island Thunder. I want my money back. It's just doesn't meet muster. It cannot be compared to Ghost Recon.
AI is lame, no control of fire teams or switching between team members. What is the deal with the Single character mission?
I'll be trading this one in.

Summary: Good game, some excellent additions and improvements
Comment: The Ghost Recon franchise is prolific and evolving. 2 is a big change over 1 from FPS into FPS/TPS - 3rd person over-the-shoulder. More games should employ the FPS/TPS choice (Elder Scrolls does). Commands are new, interface new, weapons new. The gun with the TV screen is cool. Lone Wolf missions new. Voice acting new. There are some fierce massive firefights in this one over previous Ghost Recon games. The spirit is the same - squad-based military shooter. Great game.

Summary: Best military game I've ever seen
Comment: Ghost Recon 2 is a great shooter game that provides hours of fun. Solo and Multiplayer are both very good. There are lots of cool weapons to choose from, like the ultra-accurate M8 sharpshooter, or the camera-equipped M29. Graphics are awesome, I've not noticed any choppiness except in dense forests with lots of trees. Music is decent and the sound is well done. Multiplayer, even local multiplayer is always fun. The solo missions, however, are VERY challenging, probably because you need only take one or two shots before you're dead. Once you get through the missions, though, you can go back and play them as a firefight, a recon, a defend, or a lone wolf (where you get high-tech equipment). This feature gives it great replay value.
I only have a single complaint about this game, friendly AI, especially with the British soldiers, who, although they can be helpful, often walk into your line of fire and get shot, and you fail the mission immediately. Other than that, this is the coolest Xbox game that exists.

Summary: Hit, or Miss?
Comment: If you haven't yet played a Ghost Recon game, Ghost Recon 2 will be some good fun. Up-to date graphics, a fresh story and hours of challenging modern combat is what you should be expecting from this title. I was expected a bit more based on my great experiences with the first Ghosts, which entailed a more tactical approach. And this is where the disappointment begins. The game play: I quickly learned that I no longer have control over customizing my team aside from weapon selection. The whole team is assigned automatically. Yuck! Also, the team is smaller and must face more enemies, armored vehicles and helicopters. These things seem to steer this title away from its roots which is good and bad.
There are so many good elements found in the original GR which are missing here, such as being involved in developing the skills of your team mates. Previously you could send 6 into the field and let them gain valuable experience and make them better. Also missing are bonus objectives that, when successfully completed will unlock new team members and weapons. Another nice feature was winning medals for personal kills during a mission. These, and other features, seem to have vanished. All of it was sacrificed and replaced by a lame point score system that has no effect on your team's performance or outcome of the missions. It only serves to let you obtain images, big deal.
You start with an initial objective in each of GR2's missions, further objectives are then added by your HQ during the mission. One of the major flaws in the game is this very thing. You may think that you have completed an objective only to find that you have to backtrack to a previous location because you missed a secondary objective that was added during your mission. After which you may have completed the objective and not even realize it. This aspect of the game needs some improvement to make the game flow better and alleviate some frustration.
Aside from a few irritating things that are likely just a result of personal taste, it's a decent addition to the series.
