XC Review: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW2)

I love tactical shooters, a genre in which Ubisoft and Tom Clancy make thoroughly enjoyable. GRAW 2 was no exception. Not only did it provide a great, realistic campaign, but it was equipped with hot new visuals and endless explosive content, kinda like those girls you see in Rifleman magazines. No, but seriously, this is a great game and worth every dollar (which is great, because of how old it is [2007] you can get it really cheap).

The controls are easy to adapt to, although it shouldn't matter if you're a hard-core FPS, as they're just like any other (good) shooter. In my opinion, there isn't much change in GRAW 2 from the first, but there are new things like your squad mates pointing out enemies with unique phrases: "By the green truck!" This makes the experience that much more realistic, and I'm loving every bit of it.

What I wasn't loving every bit of was the one-on-one multiplayer. Ugh. It was weird and weird...and dumb. Did I say weird...and dumb? I can't even describe it. Just get the game for the campaign. Unless you're weird...and dumb, you might—by a 970 lb chance—enjoy one-on-one.

XboxCritic Rating for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 For spicy hot gameplay, graphics, and a darn-tootin' good approach to tactical strategies, but for an unexplainably horrible multiplayer, XboxCritic gives the second GRAW a big, fat 4.5 out of 5.
