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

I found this quite a let down, the campaign seems to be plagued with glitches, one of which prevented me from completing a level unless I restarted the entire mission (reloading the checkpoint didn't work) and overall doesn't seem to draw you in to caring about any of the characters or the missions...

Honestly, I really thought this game was a breath of fresh air. The gadgets and stealth allow this game to secure a place on the field of tactical games, but with excellently done gunplay, it allows for it to stay on an action shooter player's radar. The campaign is surprising long for a shooter.

Ne'er so apt has a quote from Shakespeare been applied to a gaming experience based on the silent, efficient and always brutal methods of dispatching a foe. I can almost picture Tom Clancy in between bouts of licensing off his name for various merchandising endeavours, picking up his Shakespeare...

While American author Tom Clancy may be known for his technically detailed military novels, the games based on his wealth of military knowledge are a far cry from what you read on paper.

Beautiful environments; Fun technology to play with; Smart AI teammates; Multiplayer is a blast

Lackluster cinematic graphics; Occasional gameplay glitches; No drop-in / drop-out

Future Soldier finds the perfect balance between the classic tactical shooter experience and the more modern high-octane approach that today's gamers crave. It shouldn't alienate long-term Ghost Recon fans, while also allowing newcomers to jump in.

feels like a game that will divide opinion. Some people will love the epic set pieces and moments of chest-pumping military panache, but hardcore
