  • story
    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-integrated into the gameplay, while others criticize it as lacking depth compared to other titles in the genre. Many appreciate the mission structure and the control it offers, but some feel that the narrative is overshadowed by gameplay mechanics and AI issues. Overall, the storyline is considered passable, with a few standout missions, but it does not reach the heights of more acclaimed titles.

    • “I'm playing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory right now, and it is much better (not squad-based, and you can explore a bit, be stealthy or not, kill or just incapacitate the enemy). It has more of a story, and the voice acting is much better.”
    • “This game has such a good story mode that I didn't get to multiplayer until I beat the campaign on elite.”
    • “Currently, I'm only 5 missions into the game and I'm absolutely hooked.”
    • “Story is not that good.”
    • “This version has a completely different storyline, a boring one in my opinion.”
    • “It has a similar story and look (graphics) to it, so the improvements are negligible.”
  • graphics
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising them as impressive for a title from 2007, while others criticize them as outdated and lacking detail compared to modern standards. Many players note decent environmental graphics and realistic animations, but express disappointment in specific aspects like explosion effects and overall visual fidelity. Overall, the graphics are seen as satisfactory for fans of classic games, but not on par with contemporary titles.

    • “The graphics are amazing for a 2007 game.”
    • “The game's graphics, and the in-game communications between yourself (as captain/ghost-leader) and your three teammates in the campaign section, are truly awesome!”
    • “In terms of graphics and realism, I found this game to be right up there with COD4, Timeshift, etc.”
    • “Outdated, graphics are older and the movement of the bad guy NPCs is not all that good.”
    • “Poor graphics... a step backward.”
    • “Graphic is old style, nothing like the old version... very disappointed in quality of detail... a step backwards... videos of poor quality, nothing like the old version... grenade control very poor.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being a modernized and improved version of the original Ghost Recon, offering fun and realistic tactical experiences with interesting missions. However, some players criticize it for being too slow-paced, particularly in multiplayer co-op modes. Overall, it provides a solid 10-15 hours of engaging gameplay, though expectations should be tempered compared to earlier versions.

    • “A more up-to-date take on the original Ghost Recon's gameplay, but with improvements.”
    • “The gameplay is extremely fun, and slightly more forgiving than early Ghost Recon games.”
    • “The gameplay, story, maps, and graphics are awesome... the last thing that sticks out in my mind is a level where a siren started going off.”
    • “Gameplay in this game has been criticized for being too slow, and rightly so.”
    • “Good tactical gameplay, terrible multiplayer co-op.”
    • “Nothing horrible to complain about the gameplay, just don't expect anything like the Xbox 360 version.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and bugs that persist even after installing patches. Many players experienced issues loading levels and logging into accounts, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience despite some positive aspects of the game. Overall, stability remains a significant concern for players.

    • “However, when trying to load the 3rd level of the game, it always freezes and I haven't figured out how to get around it yet.”
    • “Game never worked; it freezes on the first screen, multiplayer doesn't work, and I can't even log into an account.”
    • “The game is very buggy even patched to 1.5 - many crashes on a stable system.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Despite its impressive visuals, the game suffers from significant performance issues, even on systems that exceed the recommended specifications. Feedback from beta testers indicates ongoing challenges with optimization, suggesting that improvements are still needed.

    • “I was a beta tester for the game, helping to find bugs and improve the game's performance.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers highlight the game's atmosphere as highly realistic and immersive, particularly praising the emotional intensity and the impressive effects during gameplay. The multiplayer experience enhances this atmosphere, making it both exciting and engaging for players. Overall, the game is recommended for its fun, strategic elements, and captivating environmental effects.

    • “The game has a realistic and exciting atmosphere, with impressive effects and explosions that enhance the overall experience.”
    • “Playing in multiplayer online adds to the fun and strategy, creating an immersive atmosphere that keeps you engaged.”
    • “I highly recommend this game for its thrilling atmosphere and emotional depth, making every moment feel intense and captivating.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, contributing positively to the atmosphere, especially in cooperative modes. However, the overall experience is marred by issues such as linear single-player maps and poor voice acting, which detract from the immersive quality that the music could enhance.

    • “The music in the game is forgettable and doesn't enhance the overall experience.”
    • “I found the soundtrack to be repetitive and uninspired, which detracted from the immersion.”
    • “The audio quality of the music is subpar, making it hard to enjoy during gameplay.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is considered limited due to enemies respawning in the same locations, which may reduce the incentive to play multiple times. However, at a low price point of ten dollars, players generally feel they get their money's worth from a single playthrough.

    • “I don't think the replay value is much because the enemies seem to respawn in the same area every time. However, it's only a ten-dollar game, so if you only play it once, you will get your money's worth.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game evokes a sense of creepiness, effectively unsettling players and enhancing the overall atmosphere.

  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers appreciate that Ubisoft allows players to skip opening ads in GRAW2 simply by clicking the mouse, which is seen as a user-friendly approach to monetization that avoids the need for more drastic measures like deleting files or hacking.

    • “In GRAW2, Ubisoft, in their magnificent charity, lets us skip the opening ads by just clicking the mouse button, instead of having to delete movies or hack files.”
