Good game...Could use some improvementsJun 26, 2010 When I got this game, I couldn't wait to play it! Me and my brother like to play games together so the split screen option was a plus. One thing I didnt get about split screen was that you can only do 1st person veiw and in the campaign and online play, you can play in 3rd person. In split screen and online, you cant take cover like in the campaign... Which kind of sucks... The campaign is fun, challenging, and dosent really need improvements. Over all, this is a pretty good game, just needs some improvements.
Great LAN party gameFeb 02, 2010 This game is just fun enough, not the best but I gave it 5 stars cause is one of the few games that support split-screen over LAN and that's a huge difference for me.
The other game I know on the PS3 that supports slit-screen over LAN is WarHawk(another great game).
So, if you are planning to make a LAN party this game a is "must have".
P.S. sry for my bad english ;)
Good, but not with your friendsDec 30, 2009 GRAW 2: The most fun shooter of the year (2007); better than COD 4, better than UT3, and better than Halo 3; So what's with the low rating? Well, let me explain. Now let's start with the singleplayer. Very fun, very strategic, very action-y, great cover system, and the most AMAZING explosion effects ever (at least of 2008 and before.) Sadly the great explosions are the most noteworthy part of the graphics. They do look great, but in some spots with crappy lighting, you can see some really bad animations (if you reload and look at the animation, you'll see it) but The best part is the involvement in your squad's actions. Holding R2 will give you a point of view from behind your squad mates which allows accurate movement commands. You even get a second set of soldiers to control in the middle of the campaign, so you can send group A (which you can customize\choose the soliders Medic, Sniper, Anti-Tank, etc.) to one spot and Group B to another, as well as a UAV which is nearly ALWAYS with you. In some places, you have acces to a helicopter, tank, and even an airstrike. The camera makes you feel like you are in charge of the action at all times. Considering how amazing the campaign is, I loved the game, all through no more than 7 hours. This game is disappointingly short, even on the HARDEST difficulty. The gunplay, teamplay, everything is fantastic. But the value is not. The few extras include 3, cr@ppy unlockable songs, art galleries, and weapons/secret multiplayer gear (have a splinter cell save, Rainbow six save, etc. You can even get an SC-20K) Now, considering all this, This game would do great in multiplayer, right? WRONG. In splitscreen/Lan, it is disappointing to see that 1st person is forced. So I went online. There are tons of modes, decent gear, and the weapons are all there. So why does it suck so bad? Alright the 1st issue is that NO ONE allows explosives (no grenade launcher attachments, no grenades, Rocket launchers, nada.) The other issue is that you can't join mid-match, so most of the time you are waiting for 5-10 minutes for the match to end. Now why the Multiplayer COMPLETELY sucks. It is so stripped down, it isn't even the same game. The graphics; lower res textures, draw distance, colors, everything looks terrible. Especially the explosions. The gameplays differently; there is NO cover system! It is replaced by a peek system, which works appallingly; The maps weren't designed for the peek system, so it is literally useless to use, as it only moves your upper torso, and I mean the UPPER part. The controls as well are abysmal, and feel horribly disjointed. So one of the best games I've played in a while marred by multiplayer, bad extras, and short length. If you can get it for under $15, I would recommend it.

Compared to COD 5 and 6, this game is HORRIBLE. Poor graphics is part of the problem. IE, it is very difficult to see where your ennemy is when playing 4 people on a 50 inch TV.
UnseenOct 29, 2009 Great game. If you have ever played any of the previous Ghost Recons then you already how difficult it is. great great great story line. 10/10
