Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Gameplay
Weaknesses:More of the same
Overall Evaluation: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is more or less very similar to the first, though that isnt necessarily a bad thing. The game plays very well, and the controls work very good for this first person shooter. The game also looks very nice, though there are some frame rate hiccups but it doesn't distract to much. Overall, the game is very good, and if you played the first, you should enjoy this as well.

Strengths: Some places sell this for $19.99 nowadays; good graphics; open gameplay allows for some creativity
Weaknesses:Some missions could get frustrating; very short game
Overall Evaluation: I'm not a huge fan of Tom Clancy games. When "Splinter Cell" (another Tom Clancy game) first came out for the original Xbox system, I was psyched. Then I played it. It wasn't bad, but I guess I was too hyped about it. Now, with a new console, I have another Tom Clancy game: "Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2", widely known succintly as "GRAW2". GRAW2 takes place in Mexico (civil war) and along the U.S. border, in the near future (the year 2014, if I remember correctly). I don't know how much of the technology currently exists versus what Tom Clancy envisions, but among some of the weaponry in the game are small vehicles called MULES that are like moving weapons caches and can be used for scouting, an aerial vehicle called the CYPHER which can provide you an overhead map with enemy locations, a gun that can shoot around corners, etc. You take direct control of Captain Scott Mitchell and can indirectly control a small squad by giving tactical commands. The graphics are good and definitely better than those of some other PS3 games I've played despite those games' coming out later. The gameplay allows you some freedom to complete the objective in different strategic ways. The enemy A.I. is not bad. The controls are good. The first few levels are pretty easy, but it does get difficult later, especially if you like to rush in with all guns blazing. Unfortunately, like many games these days, this game is also very short. There is a multiplayer component that can extend the game's life, but I don't play it. I wouldn't pay full price for this game, but I got it for $20. I can recommend it at that price. This game opened my eyes to Tom Clancy games again...now if only they could all be released at this budget price...

Duration of ownership: 2 Months
Strengths: Multiplayer and sound effects
Weaknesses:Graphics and short single gameplays
Overall Evaluation: I think this is a good game. It has a great multiplayer game and its sound effects are so real that you can feel that you are in the middle of a combat situation. However, it needs to be improved in a couple of areas. Firstly, its graphics is not a par with other shooter games. Secondly, its single play modes is a little short. Overall, however, it is a good game.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: awesome graphics and audio, easy gameplay, realistic and detailed weaponry, fun multiplayer mode.
Weaknesses:only 10 - 15 hours worth of gameplay in single player mode.
Overall Evaluation: i played the old ghost recon on the regular xbox and enjoyed it so i decided to pick up this game. I found it more exciting and easier to play then its predecessor. I don't know if it was because of the graphics or the realism the game brought but it is so fun to play. The way you have to hide and the skills you need to survive parallel real life. The controls are easy to use although its hard to get the grenades to land where you might want them to but otherwise easy to figure out the rest of the controls. The game doesn't compare to call of duty 4 in any way but it is still fun in its own right. There are some similarities to cod4 but as i said, no comparison. There is a large selection of weaponry and like i said before the excellent audio and graphics of the game make it a worthwhile game to purchase. Although the single player mode is short, the on line multiplayer on line mode makes up for it. It is fun and can get fast paced. I didn't notice any lag time or frame rate issues while playing. All in all i think GRAW2 is a solid game that is worth checking out. If not anything else you will be impressed by the graphical detail of the game although I'm sure you will enjoy the gameplay as well.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Intense and real combat mood, active multiplayer mode, great sound effect
Weaknesses:Graphics is just ok.
Overall Evaluation: I liked to play this game, so I bought this one and also bought Xbox360 one. PS3 version is as good as almost every aspects of gameplay. It has intense real combat situation, working-well multiplayer mode, and one of the best sound effect among combat games. My minor disappointment is coming from its graphics. Compared to Xbox360 version, its graphics seems to be a little bit washed out. Overall, however, I love this game. You can also enjoy this one if you are a gamer who enjoy shooting game.
