Then again I still think if I knew what this game was really like I wouldn't have bought it. 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. But there is co-op also. 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.
However if you mind the few quirks ubisoft has left and you like the original series, this game might be for you. Your not going 4 ghost against 4 ghost but more of a oo7 type style of splitscreen. This is a great game if you like tactical shooters, the graphics are great and the game overall is really visually inviting. If 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.
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. I liked the game overall, it presents challenges.
What is the deal with the Single character mission. It's just doesn't meet muster. AI is lame, no control of fire teams or switching between team members. I bought this game on the strength of the Original and Island Thunder. I want my money back. It cannot be compared to Ghost Recon. I'll be trading this one in.
Lone Wolf missions new. More games should employ the FPS/TPS choice (Elder Scrolls does).
The spirit is the same - squad-based military shooter. Great game.
The Ghost Recon franchise is prolific and evolving. Voice acting new.
There are some fierce massive firefights in this one over previous Ghost Recon games. Commands are new, interface new, weapons new.
The gun with the TV screen is cool. 2 is a big change over 1 from FPS into FPS/TPS - 3rd person over-the-shoulder.
Multiplayer, even local multiplayer is always 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. Ghost Recon 2 is a great shooter game that provides hours of fun. This feature gives it great replay value. Other than that, this is the coolest Xbox game that exists.
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. 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). 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. The solo missions, however, are VERY challenging, probably because you need only take one or two shots before you're dead.
One of the major flaws in the game is this very thing. Yuck. The game play: I quickly learned that I no longer have control over customizing my team aside from weapon selection. Up-to date graphics, a fresh story and hours of challenging modern combat is what you should be expecting from this title.
And this is where the disappointment begins. 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. 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. Previously you could send 6 into the field and let them gain valuable experience and make them better. Also, the team is smaller and must face more enemies, armored vehicles and helicopters. If you haven't yet played a Ghost Recon game, Ghost Recon 2 will be some good fun. It only serves to let you obtain images, big deal.
Also missing are bonus objectives that, when successfully completed will unlock new team members and weapons. Aside from a few irritating things that are likely just a result of personal taste, it's a decent addition to the series. Another nice feature was winning medals for personal kills during a mission. You start with an initial objective in each of GR2's missions, further objectives are then added by your HQ during the mission. The whole team is assigned automatically.
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. These things seem to steer this title away from its roots which is good and bad. I was expected a bit more based on my great experiences with the first Ghosts, which entailed a more tactical approach.
This aspect of the game needs some improvement to make the game flow better and alleviate some frustration.
