After basically inventing the tactical shooter genre, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six franchise branched out from its embassy-storming, silenced weapons, counter-terrorist roots to focus on more overt military operations undertaken by a special squad known as the Ghosts. The first title, Ghost Recon, was a spectacular success garnering much praise and even a game of the year award from the sexiest website in the business. There were a few decent expansion packs but gamers waiting for a full sequel had to follow the franchise to the consoles. Our hopes for Ghost Recon 2 were flattened when Ubisoft announced they'd be canceling the title to focus on, get this, Ghost Recon 3.
Whatever convoluted deviations it took on its way here, we don't care. Ghost Recon 3 has finally made its way to the PC and fans of intense, tactical action have a reason to celebrate. The new game offers loads of intense firefights in massive urban settings and some first-rate visuals. While the new title's not without its faults (some of which are downright obnoxious), it's an easy bet that fans of tactical shooters will definitely get their money's worth with this one.
