The Ghosts' "Afrika Corps".

By zoostyle | Review Date:
"Desert Siege" was the aptly named first expansion pack to the brilliant first "Ghost Recon" series of games. As it was with the original (and still BEST) game the action is heavy and intense as the Ghost Recon team travels to the desert sands of Eritrea. This time it is to stem an invasion by its powerful neighbor, Ethiopia, in the year 2009 with a total of eight new missions/maps. There was alot of replay value with the great multi-player on Ubisoft's game servers (or others U could find).

The major differences this time around are your soldiers now are geared up in the "three-color" desert pattern used by the Army and Marines (mostly) up until about 2004 (in real life-Marines went to Marpat by 2003). There are new specialists and all of them are geared up in desert cammoflage now. The opfor now are irregular militia and Ethiopian army and their aim is still just as good as the Russian soldiers in the last missions!

What can I say? I love the missions, the look, the whole set up of this Xpansion. They went for about 19 dollars so the value was great seeing as you also got 8 new quality missions that were challenging as well! Some expansions only get you maybe 5 or 6 new maps and bill you maybe 25 or 30 bucks! Plus, they may not even be as good! No sir, with these games you got good missions and quality to boot!

Pick this up if you can!

"We're on the way!"

    An expansion is almost never better than the game it's built on. Some are just quick attempts to cash in on the popularity of a license or materials left over from development. Others bring to the basic game new and grea... Read Full Review
