First things first, I am currently still playing the original Xbox and not the 360. So please be clear that this is about the original Xbox version, NOT the 360. I'm also going to keep this short since this game was such a giant disapointment to me.

You play the roll of Captain Scott Mitchell, the leader of an elite infantry unite known as the ghosts. Your task is to locate two presidents that have recently gone missing.

After playing Advanced Warfighter for 5 minutes it becomes evidently clear the Ubisoft (Red Storm Specifically) put all their attention into the 360 version. They obviously took the 360 version and tried to cram as much of it into the Xbox with little to no luck.

First, theres no over the shoulder view. That was strike one. The FPS mode just doesnt fly with me for Ghost Recon games (i know the originals were only FP but it took a giant leap forward when they gave the over the shoulder for Ghost Recon 2). Plus, the view reminds me way to much of Rainbow Six : Lockdown, which was also a disagraceful game.

Second, you can't go prone and seem to have major troubles walking over small obstacles. What kind of elite soldier are you supposed to be? How can you honestly not let somebody go prone in jungle and urban warfare!

Last, since at this point I was so disguisting with the game I stopped playing, the combat and action seems to come in waves. You spend your time darting from one area to another with their fancy new "sprint" option after a flood of bad guys. Theres no steady stream at all. Its bang, run to the next section, bang.

This is just the newest, well 2nd newest (thats another review which will be coming soon) item in a growing list of video games that are so half effort it makes it diffcult justifying spending my hard earned money on.

Oh what a shame, if they had kept the basic 360 gameplay intact, regardless of how good how it looked, the game wouldn've been sweet.

Cheers for the review anyway Ding. A few people have been interested in the Xbox version and we didn't know much about it. Sounds like it's a rental to me but maybe there's someone out there who loves it and can tell us why?

Something new I have decided to do is a brieft summary of the game at the end in a pros and cons listing. Plus I will give an overall rank to the game between 1 and 10. 1 being poor, 10 being excellent.

Pros
- Ghost Recon name brand
- New "team camera" allowing you to see what your team sees

Cons
- Run and gun style
- Unimpressive graphics
- Inability to go prone
- First person view only

Overall
4.0 / 10
