Sporting great graphics and great gameplay but short single player, annoying ad placements and bad AI mar this game.
Graphics:
Amazing, the lightning, textures, and the details marks a new milestone in console gaming since Halo 2 pushed the Xbox beyond it's limits. Though there are graphical issues like pop ins, cutting and tad bit slowdowns but the lightning of a near equatorial makes this game stunningly beautiful to look at. The shadowing is taken from Splinter Cell thus giving realistic lightning but you still can't hide from enemies in the shadows. The details on the soldiers, enemies, transports and tanks, are simply a joy to watch in action because something like this had never been done before even on PC as they were close with Doom 3 and F.E.A.R. but this is pushing beyond P.C.
A.I.
The enemy A.I. is extremely smart about taking advantage of using their surroundings as cover. It would be incredibly stupid to take on the enemy as a loner but you will be doing this throughout the game. Why you ask? Because your teammates are stupider than slug as they expose themselves from cover, turn their backs on potential danger and walk into your line of fire. Though I wonder why didn't Ubisoft make them intelligent as the enemy? But the best thing about your teammates is that you can use them as bait to draw out the enemy for a kill. The enemy is smart enough when to use a grenade especially when your cornered and have no other choice but to run into an open battlefield. The enemy even flank your weak spot forcing you to keep moving and stay alert.
Sound
Realistic as it sounds from the sound of a assault rifle to the sound of the whirring of a mini-gun on the 'copter. Playing this on your stereo will cause your neighbors to duck for cover and call the police because I guarantee you that the explosions is real as it sounds. Every gun has it's unique sound and you can tell the difference between every gun.
Presentation
Though it is greatly delivered but the glitches in the game kinda ruins the fun. For 10 minutes in the first mission the game will hold your hand then drop you into a battlefield in the second mission. Though the gameplay is amazingly short for a Ghost Recon vet. Vets will finish this game in 7-8 hours as newcomers will finish in 10 hours. Glitches are present in this game from the lying down glitch which your man will stay afloat after crawling above a hill, your camera gun will occasionally float away from your hands, teammates occasionaly walk through walls and on the rooftop mission on your first try the mission will not progress forcing you to repeat the 10 minutes you fought halfway through all over again. The ad placements set by Nokia and Dodge makes the city more of a city. But it is overly used over and over again.
Overall
Great game nonetheless and is well worth the wait. But glitches, dumb team A.I. and aggressive ad placements prevents a perfection it could've been.
