Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: Premium Edition (Xbox 360)

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:45:27 +0000

The lowdown: Although it still plays very similarly to the last Ghost Recon game this is easily the most impressive of the series so far. The graphics, particularly on the Xbox 360, are extraordinary with a whole city sprawling out in front of you at a previously unimaginable level of detail. Unlike some squad based shooters the controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to take part in the action and order about soldiers and vehicles at the same time with the minimum of fuss. The questionable artificial intelligence of your allies is the only serious flaw, but the ability to explore the city and plan your attack from any angle usually overcomes this problem. – Become the soldier of the future – Use a fully integrated combat system with cutting-edge weapons and communication systems, all based on real military research – Use the revolutionary Cross-Com, a communication device powered by satellite technology – Attached to the soldier’s monocle, it commands the allied forces and drones, directing artillery and air strikes and providing visual and auditory intelligence for fu – Stunning urban environments – the game takes place in a meticulously detailed Mexico City, one of the world’s largest urban areas. Visit multiple locations all over the capital, for complete immersion in the urban war of the future – Top-notch multiplayer experience delivers industry-leading multiplayer and cooperative gameplay for one of the hottest online franchises
