Instant classic, Because the better you get, the better the game gets. Not many games can do that, most get more tedius
Ghost Recon is about assessing the situation, planning where your guys are going to go, holding and covering your position while you take point. Simple rules of engagement AND they work in Ghost Recon just aswell as any other game provided you place your team in Good positions.
Well I really enjoyed having that kind of hands on approach to ghost recon, because i could see the enemy, fix the enemy, and If i felt 1 team was in danger i could quickly switch from player to player to deal with the situation myself. The reviewer raved on about SWAT, your team in SWAT was worse than your team in ghost recon often rushing into rooms and flashing themselves or turning in the wrong direction and getting themselves killed. Even through thorough planning. You often had to do things yourself in SWAT anyway ( just as much as ghost recon anyway).
I loved setting up the attack then switching from player to player to view the situation from any angle, making sure everybody was in the right position, then attacking, GREAT FUN. And you could do it from ANYBODY'S perspective which made this game even better.
Yes sometimes your guys dont position quite properly and you have to hold thier hand sometimes but once I got use to it, it didnt take to long to sort out.
1 of the coolest thing in this game was when you succesfully kicked a missions ass with the whole team, you could replay it. And you could see exactly how those decision's effected the entire battle in a whole replay of it, never seen that in another game yet and would love to see this kind of thing in the future.
This game is more about long range tactics or cover tactics and crossfire than anything else. And if your the type of person that like the game of Chess i cant see Y you wouldnt like this, because there are many elements of offense and defense in Ghost Recon.
