Review: Well Clancy does it again. Following the amazing games that were Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon (and its add on pack) comes another excellent Tom Clancy game. The game has crisp graphics (using the Unreal engine), superb level design and an intro movie that would put most hollywood blockbusters to shame! Not only does it come Live equiped (In case you dont know that means you can play it on X-Box Live and infuture new maps may be available for download) but it also comes headset ready. This means you can shout orders at your team mates and they will do it. Shout move and they move, shout frag and they frag - its amazing fun. The basic story sees you as the captain of a Rainbow Squad that is used to tackle terrorism. You control the main character (in a FPS style) but get to command other team members (via joypad or headset) and then you rescue hostages, defuse bombs and shoot things. The only thing I felt was missing is the map planning feature from Ghost Recon, which would have pushed this game to a full 5 stars. However I cant grumble and this game is really derserving of its 4 stars. Oh one more point - watch the "flash grenade" go off, its one funky effect!! |
