Picked up Ghost Recon Friday night and finally popped it in for a few hours. I wasn't sure what to expect. I bought Ghost Recon for regular x-box a few years ago and was underwhelmed. I could never get my squad to do anything and could't even make it through the first mission after several hours play. It went into the dustbin.
My initial impression of Advanced Warfighters graphics was Wow!! It looks great in high-def and is very smooth. You will not be disappointed. The evironments are huge and well done. Little details like the swirl of dust and newspapers when helicopters take off are great.
The controls are 100% better than my first and only other Ghost Recon experience. I easily picked up on how to run myself and my team. Flattening against walls and looking around corners are accomplished easily. Changing weapons on the fly is a breeze. Very quickly I was directing my team, scout drones, and helicopter support gunships all at once easily. And best of all they were doing what I wanted. Oh Joy
Multiplayer looked fantastic it was easy to get into games. None of the ten or so games I played had any lag at all. I can't really give a detailed review because I was really a fish out of water just trying to stay alive for more than 1 minute
. The environments are huge and there are several types of gamepley. You have your usual solo and multiplayer games. There is also a team game where you and others play against x-box controlled enemies.
I am not sure yet if this is a must have but I can tell you I can't wait to play BOTH sigle player and multiplayer again. I am happy with this purchase and feel I definately got my $60.00 worth.
This week I'm looking forward to buying The Outfit!!
