REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well after spending about 8 hours of my day down at the fancy new arcade playing Ghost Recon I thought I'd post an official mudslinging degradation critique of the new Ghost Recon (no, I played so much I really don't remember the subtitle;)) I didn't play the single player campaign past the tutorial, but I've been through quite a bit of multiplayer so that is the focus of this review:D Character creation/ Good: The DOWNZ: Other than choosing which class your outfit looks like the only options are premade faces and masks/helmets/accessories. The UPIZ: The faces are extremely well done and the accessories, while limited, give you a fair amount of individuality..... You can freaking play as freaking MEL GIBSON!:thmbup1: You don't believe me, rent it and try face #3;) Visuals/ *has a massive stroke*: The DOWNZ: Not much, the "ship in monsoon" map gets a little annoying, but if you use the nightvision it's more playable. In heavy action the extra info screens can get in the way. Can't think of much else off hand. The UPIZ: In motion, pretty much one of the best I've seen. It looks better than everything I've seen for Gears of War, and then some. The mapping on the combat suits looks exquisite in the sun. Good use of glare affecting lighting. The hud looks fine and is nicely affected by game situations.This could go on for a while, it is sufficient to say it's quite pretty. Maps/ Great: The DOWNZ: There aren't enough of them, hopefully more will be released over LIVE. Objects in multiplayer maps do not allow you to "cover". Randomized Campaign objectives would help. Overall not a lot of variety. The UPIZ: What few maps available are BIG, BAD, and BEAUTIFUL! Their size and layout keep them fresh longer than your high tech ziplock bags, with multiple avenues of attack and a good mix of cover and open ground. They can easily accomodate a high number of players. And they all have nice details. Pt.2.(multiplayer) coming tomorrow due to a full day of sitting 3 feet away from a widescreen tv playing wargames just to give you a good review causing a splitting of the skull;) I'll try and sneak back for some SP tomorrow, but modding needs to be done:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
