Customer Reviews:

Excellent game [Posted on 2008-02-01]
This is a great shooter. A very good game, folks. There a few minor bugs (video glitches), but they don't hurt gameplay or in-game graphics. The missions are engaging and fun. The AI can be a bit weak at times, but overall pretty good. This game now costs $20. You can't go wrong. Works well with Vista Home Premium.

Tricky, fun, looks good [Posted on 2008-03-31]
Overall: following in the footsteps of the first GR:AW, this is a good sequel. It added some nice features and better online MP. It has a similar story and look (graphics) to it, so the improvements are negligible.

Pros: Some of the problems of the first GRAW have been fixed. The AI does a better job, but still can get stuck (or lost!) on doorways or won't open fire on an obvious tango. But now when ordering your squadmates to fire a guided munition at a helicopter they'll do it fairly quickly. This comes in handy since a lot of times there is more than one target in a mission that requires the multi-purpose munition launcher (tanks, helicopters, etc.)
The gameplay is fun and realistic, and has some really interesting missions to complete. The single player is challenging. I made it through most of the game before getting stuck on this one part (kinda frustrating- just will have to give it another try when I have time).
The multiplayer has been improved, with quite the selection of "Kits" for each "Class" (Demo, Assault, Sniper) to chose from when playing Co-Op or Adversarial matches. I especially like the Co-Op where you and other members online have to take out a couple of tanks (without guided muntions, they'll take a couple RPG hits), accomplish a couple of objectives (usually involving setting charges), and clear out the enemy.

Cons: Even though your squad AI can be lacking at times, the enemy AI does a better job, and sometimes with better accuracy to boot. This can be rough when you have no cover.
Also, where before you could save at any point, this version you can only save at the checkpoints. The checkpoints happen often, but sometimes you wish they occur at other points, especially if you keep having to do a section over.
Even though advertised, the medic is not available in the PC version.

Added features: The support for this game is pretty good. Within a week or so after release they had already issued a patch to fix some of the bugs that users had found. And within no time they had released a number of map packs. I was pretty impressed with that.

Definitely would recommend this game, especially after the price-drop!

So hard it wasn't very fun [Posted on 2008-04-07]
I'm not a hard core gamer, so shoot me if my enjoyment of a game is marred by the near impossibility of winning. Enemies always saw me faster than I could see them, and their guns seemed far more accurate than mine, necessitating many reloads in order to simply stay alive.

Having only four personnel to control was easier than keeping track of three squads as in the original Ghost Recon game.

Good gameplay though, good graphics, seemed stable enough. If you like tough combat, you'll probably enjoy this more than I did.

not as good as the older one's [Posted on 2008-04-13]
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.

GRAW 2 [Posted on 2008-05-05]
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!
