Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is one of the best games the Xbox 360 has to offer as of right now, with some substantial improvements over its predecessor, G.R.A.W 2 delivers a superb and thrilling game.

The gameplay has not changed from G.R.A.W, you'll start off doing training, for you veterans there is an option to skip the training, but you'll miss out of some achievement points. I still feel that the training is a little long, but no biggy. You'll realize that the plot is very basic, a nuke is stolen and is near the border of the United States, and you must go and stop it. One of the large improvements in G.R.A.W 2 is the Crosscom, you are now able to view it in full screen by holding down the right bumper. With this, you can contol your UAV, your ghosts, or any vehicles. Using it to control helicopters is kick-ass. The awesome helicopter sequence is once again in G.R.A.W 2 where you get to be a gunner on the blackhawk, and you get to do it multiple times as well. My only complaint is that the campaign will only last you a mere 5 to 8 hours, even though it's very fun and thrilling, it is far too short.

The graphics have gotten an upgrade from G.R.A.W, lighting and effects is amazing, and teh detail in Captain Mitchell is superb. The huge scale is still there, you'll be looking out of your blackhawk seeing the Mexican city of Jauez on fire and under attack. The urban environments are spectacular, and the dust effects in the desert is superb as well. You'll see many different lighting, and the horrid night vision from G.R.A.W. has been thankfully removed and replaced. The graphics in multiplayer are thankfully almost on par with the single player, since in G.R.A.W, the graphics in multiplayer were not as good as the single player. Everything looks visually stunning and amazing.

The sound in G.R.A.W 2 is just as superb as G.R.A.W. The voice acting is great, although you'll hear some cheesy lines such as "I have no name, I'm a Ghost." Even though there are some cheesy lines like that, everything is great. The sound effects from gunfire, vehicles and the environment is also amazing, especially if you listen to it in 5.1 surround sound.

The mutliplayer portion has got a huge upgrade from G.R.A.W. It now boasts a 50% larger co-op campaign and has lots of multiplayer maps to go crazy with. The huge amount of customization is also a huge plus, I haven't seen this much customization since Halo 2. Overall, an amazing and superb game for the Xbox 360. Even though the single player is short, the multiplayer will keep you playing for many months till the next blockbuster arrives. I highly recommend this game if you are into shooters.
