Nice array of weapons. (Some have a faster rate of fire, some more accurate at long distance,etc.)

AI is good as enemies work well together to try to flank, overrun, and surround you. (Watch out for snipers)

The actual combat is well done. Bullets and explosives are at a premium so, you can't just blast everything endlessly. Enemies take wounds "realistically". (i.e. limp, crawl, hop on one foot, panic, etc.) The graphics during combat aren't as sharp as some games but, the attention to detail is good though. Rocks fly and
walls chip. You see tracers occasionally and bullets can richochet off metal at times and hit you even while covered.

Even normal mode is tough and challenging. Nothing is just a walk through.

Cons:
While the cover system is great, occasionally you have trouble aiming at enemies and have to readjust to hit what should have been an easy target.

To activate the sniper system you have to click the right thumb stick and this can be a pain as you have to hit the thumbstick just right. Then, when your shooting in 3rd person you sometimes move the thumbstick just right and here comes the sniper mode.
You can recover from this pretty fast or just shoot in sniper mode but, they should have just made the select button the on/off.

Maybe I'm missing something but, I've yet to be able to play my own downloaded music in the background rather than the games'.
This is a mainstay with XBOX.

Overall this is a pretty good, straight forward game that I would like to see others learn from and improve upon.

Lots of fun, been playing it non-stopNov 30, 2003

Rented this game over the Thanksgiving holiday and have been playing it non-stop for several days. In a word; GREAT! Love it. If you like First Person Shooters (FPS) then you will like this game. The ability to crouch down behind boxes and walls while you lean out into a corridor will leave you wondering why it took so long for somebody to think of this feature. No more standing out in the corridor getting shot, no sirreeee. Just stand up against the corner, hold the left trigger, lean out and around the corner and engage enemy. This feature does not make you invincible, but does cut down your profile, and hence risk of getting shot. I hope other games in the future will make use of this feature. Sometimes aiming in crouch mode is difficult as noted in other reviews.

There are medi-pacs available to restore health, but there are well spaced out and you will soon learn to `hoard' them if you-don't-absolutely-need-one-now. Same thing goes with ammo. If you are heavy on the trigger finger then you will soon find yourself running low on bullets, and this will entail you running around the way you came looking for more dropped ammo.

The controls are pretty easy to use and are very Halo-like in layout.

Very Fun GameNov 25, 2003

This game does have a few flaws (like the zoom in views - although very realistic, and its hard to see sometimes) but overall its just plain fun!!! And isn't that why we buy these games? It's hard at first but the more you try the easier it gets - naturally. Namco (who makes Tekken, Soul Calibur, Time Crisis) should put out more games like they have in the past. And this one is another goodie! Buy this game if your looking for some fun shoot 'em up action.

May be to hard for someOct 31, 2003
By Cedd Dogg "dArTh NaDeR"
This game is by far one of the most difficult games I have played since stuntman for ps2.If you like trying to get through a level about a thousand times then you might like this one.There is nothing really special about this game except the cover system, weak graphics and extreme difficulty prevent this one from being a five star game.

Ghost Recon without back-up.Oct 31, 2003

This game is pretty basic. Imagine Ghost Recon without any other soldiers on your side. You have a fair choice of weapons but no spiffy toys like, night vision or infrared devices. You have to recognize your weapons by a small picture to know what you are using, though it doesn't really make a difference. The sniper rifle is useless as well as one silenced HK5. The story just kinda drops you into play with no intro and you slowly piece things together although after completing the game I am still a little fuzzy! But if you like straight tactical combat you should like this. The cover system is not what I expected but decent. And the AI is nothing special. Fairly short game with about 12 hours to complete.
