I love this game. The following is my little review of the game.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

Graphics: Wow, what a game. Something that got me peeved off with the first was the horrible slow jaggy graphics. Well GRAW2 has solved that problem with Smooth fast lovely graphics. After playing RB6: Vegas, GRAW2 shows the way with it's graphics. Pity RB6: Vegas couldn't be this smooth. I love 1680x1050.

Gameplay: Gameplay is much the same as the first except now on some missions you can give artillery fire, a tank, extra troops and air attacks. You can do some missions on your own(if you're the Lone Ranger ) but some missions I think will require you to use your team. Yay!! .. oh wait (see AI) Maps are wide open again and scenic(lovely graphics ) Physics, you'll have to install Ageia's Physics software 4.0XX, is good even though you don't need a physics card.

AI: Ok, I can't really remember how bad GRAW AI(Teammates) was, so will judge GRAW2's AI on it's own. Sometime the AI is ok and can micro(very micro) manage themselves. But they(and this is my gripe) tend to get stuck in really stupid places and I mean stuck. Point them to a new place and the might move correctly or they'll remain stuck. UUGGHH!! I so wanna shoot my stupid teammates(hmm reminds me of online, the I wanna shoot my stupid r/l teammates). This makes you want to do some missions on your own, which you can. But some missions(against helicopters especially) will require that you need your (AI)teammates to shoot down. This can be hard especially if they get stuck from time to time or they get blown away by the Heli's. It can be done though(without losing a teammate .. but will take lots of patience).

Enemy AI: Been playing this at normal and the enemy AI can get quite hectic. Will hate to know how they'll be on the hardest level(1 up). If they see you you can die instantly .. and then sometimes you can actually not be hit and kill them. If they see you at a distance, it can get annoying until you spot them. Oh and the AI aren't always in the same spot to it can get interesting. Move slowly and check everywhere. Some maps will allow you to move fast.

Sound: Sound is pretty good, Had no hassles like I did with RB6: Vegas. Everything worked as it should. Shoo.

Multiplayer: Haven't played but should be awesome.

Overall: I can recommend GRAW2, the very smooth graphics and gameplay and awesome visuals. Multiplayer should be good although wide open maps might cause a problem. hopefully it's like the original GR games. AI can be annoying but persist and you'll get through.

8/10

Seems R6 is still a bit better, anxious to try out the CO-OP in LAN
