Too hard and frustrating to be good(IMO)

User Rating: 7.5 | Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter X360
ok,i bought this and the sequel both second hand in a local gameshop . Understand that it's quite late to review this game as it has been released bout 3 years ago,2006? The story of the game is typical tom clancy, special ops trying to salvage a nation from terrorism or rescuing political figures.
Though this game was released quite sum time ago, im pretty impressed by the game's graphic and smooth gameplay. The setting is cool, awesome introduction and it immerse you in the environment.
You are a captain of a special squad, and 3 squad members will be attached to you time to time. As a leader you are allowed to command your surbodinates at all times during the gameplay, the ghost mode and assault mode are the primary commands to order your team's movement,pretty straightforward. armoured vehicles and choppers will aide you in parts of the game especially in intense and crucial scenarios. The UAV is another feature or device that works as a mobile satellite which enable you to locate objectives and enemies territory. Gameplay wise, the tutorial is easily understood and it won't take much time for you to get hold into the game. ok basically this game allows you to shoot,take cover,take command and plan your goals. So far what i've mentioned are all positive and straightfoward, but what bothers me in the game is the difficulty...it's damn hard well maybe i sucked. I dun mind hard games but just imagine going thru a mission with no health replenishes and worse still you have to take care of your men's arses. Checkpoints are redundant,if your health is critical and if anytime a bullet pierces into ur arse,you're dead meat, it's might as well restart the whole mission. another thing is, if you're hoping for a run and gun game,this if a NO to you. This game is about patience,thinking,planning and damn it's slow compared to Geow. afterall its a tactical shooter. conclusion: i hate this game PERSONALLY..dun be offended. cos i sucked at it. for sumone who's into tactical shooter, graw is the sh**. great visiuals,easy commanding system,innovative and mind cracking. jus not my type. haven't played part 2 yet,but heard its less punishing than this one.
