Ubisoft today announced that the latest game in the Tom Clancy series has shipped to stores. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike, the stand-alone expansion to Ghost Recon 2, is now available exclusively for the Xbox.

Summit Strike sees the elite "Ghosts" peacekeeping in Eurasia, where trouble is brewing thanks to a Pakistani warlord's assassination of the Kazakh president. Gamers will control a squad of Ghosts across Kazakhstan as they hunt down the warlord and his army.

The game will have open-ended missions, with multiple objectives that can be completed in any order. Gamers can expect new skins, 15 new weapons, and 11 new missions in the single-player campaign. The multiplayer content includes 24 maps and game modes in both urban and rural landscapes.
