And here we go, folks, it's time to dive into yet another shooter. Oh relax, will ya, it's not gonna be so bad. Now, as most of you probably know, the Ghost Recon franchise has been around for a while and we haven't seen a 'proper' release for PC and consoles since Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2...

An overall engaging shooter experience involving cool stealth-based combat and a lot of single-player and multiplayer fun

Basically nothing innovative; some missions are too easy thanks to unbalanced AI; story's unmemorable as are the characters

Remember that conversation you had with your parents about perseverance? Something about "if at first you don't succeed…?" Well Ubisoft's internal developers evidently paid attention to their moms, because here we are, over ten years into the Ghost Recon series, and finally enjoying one of them.

Fun stealth gameplay; Huge graphical improvements

At least one fun-ending bug; Stock multiplayer

Les Ghost Recon gagnent en subtilité dans ce nouvel épisode. Plus question de vous lancer tête baissée dans les phases de tirs, les séquences d'infiltration viennent s'ajouter au gameplay.

Immersion rapide; Prise en main très accessible; Séquences d'infiltration et d'action; Des situations diverses et variées; Un mode multijoueurs complet; Une IA étonnante d'efficacit

Un scénario un peu oubli

Tom Clancy siblings Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six have always had a complementary, yin/yang relationship. Where Rainbow is loud, Recon is quiet. While the former is all door-breaches and in-your-face, the latter is a half-click away, lying prone in a bush and about to pull the trigger on its sniper...

+ Deeply satisfying stealth-focused campaign - either solo or in four-person co-op; + Equally compelling multiplayer mode with no shortage of maps; modes; or upgrades

? Why don't the subtitles always match the dialogue

From the searing hot landscape of Africa, to the frosty terrain of Russia, as a member of the Ghosts, you're expected to conduct missions with the utmost stealth. A third person shooter that arms you to the teeth with futuristic (yet, oddly realistic) tech with a gameplay that employs a cover based...

Challenging gameplay; Engaging storyline; Vast weapons modification

Visuals in certain portions look unpolished; No option to save game at any chosen point

Chris Watters flies above the battlefield in an aerial drone to target Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for a review.

Pleasing sync shot mechanic; Lengthy campaign is great in both solo play and co-op; Enjoyable competitive multiplayer modes

Numerous AI oddities; Unremarkable firefights

The franchise returns, but can it measure up to past incarnations? Find out in Ken's full review.

+ Online is still addictive; + Shooting is top-notch; + Lengthy campaign mode

Odd design choices; Lacks polish in key areas; Story falls flat

Once upon a time, Ubisoft had the market cornered on military and tactical shooters under its Tom Clancy brand. Whether it was a visit to Vegas as a member of Rainbow squad, a one man ninja as a Splinter Cell, or my personal favourite, playing as a solider of the future as the Ghost Squad, If you...

Very tense tactical military action; a fine alternative to the bombast of twitchier shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield; lots of futuristic toys to play with; superb multiplayer and co-op options; some fun and unobtrusive kinect functionality on the Xbox version; Gunsmith is a great addition;...

Storytelling is a jumbled mess of cliches; some AI problems; pervasiveness of uplay is a little irritating; mediocre voice acting; had to reinstall audio files multiple times on Xbox version

This is a good game. It's a fun game. It's almost like a military RPG with the leveling up you have to do. There's a lot of little things that I think are great and used well in this game.

Overall this game is as good as they come. I find it very hard to give any game a ten but this is up there with the Call of Duties and Battlefield games out there. I strongly recommend this game if you prefer the Gears of War style of game play over the first person shooter style.
