"Instant classic"
After hearing the hype Graw got from numerous people over the past few months I finally got my hands on Graw.As fellow lover of shooters at first I had a mediocre reaction towards Graw even though I've played my share of Clancy games,I guess its just weird seeing a Ghost Recon game not in a FPS view which Graw uses over the shoulder 3rd person camera which I LOVE!.

When the game first starts off your in a training session which I have to say helped alot since Clancy games can get tough.After your training session you aka Scott Mitchelles get sent to Mexico city on a mission thats in the span of 72 hours/3 days.Sadly the game only puts you in Mexico City whether it be night time,day time or evening which looks amazing in Graw you basically dont go out of the Mexico City setting, which it woulda been nice to see Ubisoft to make the games engine in more than one setting like it woulda been nice to visit a forest,mountains or even a swamp area.

Im gonna say this with pride that Graw has some of the best cover mechanics in a game ever,when your taking cover behind a wall,car or dashing to find something to cover your body from oncoming enemy fire it feels like your actually taking cover and your doing it as an elite member of a task force or army who knows how to take cover.At times your squad can have a pretty dull AI,which can get on your nerves which happens once and awhile.Almost at the end of the game you barely use the Recon map which felt like it was rushed since it barely helped you at all.Graw lacks the opportunity of holding more than one main fire arm which sucked if you ran out of ammo for which in turn you might have to pick up one of the crappy dropped merc weapons.These lil flaws dont alter your game time or how you play the game they are at most not noticeable except for one major flaw I found is after some missions your left alone even after getting picked up with yourself and your squad your basically what I call "John Wayneing" which you are by yourself taking on a group of mercs and some how you pull off a win without much trouble.

I want to say whoever did the script for Graw did a hella good job since you felt like the cast is actually in a modern military branch and they know how to act under stress,giving orders in code or whether it be military smack talk.As the game progresses so does the way Mitchelles character goes from basically a all talk guy to a team player with a hard attitude that you wouldnt expect from just looking at him and it totally threw me off alil which left the impression on how serious Mitchelles character grows on you.Graw is a must have for any shooter lover (in my book its in the top 5 shooters of all time) or anyone whos new to the 360 system since now Graw 1 is around $20 and is well worth the price even if it was $80 Graw would be worth a good play through whether its for single player,co-op or having online fraging with some friends.
