Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (PS3)

This game was meant to be coming out in March 2011 and I was looking forward to it but was not overly bothered by the delays as it has led to a nicely polished and good looking game, yes the cut scene characters look a bit lifeless - especially the faces but this does not detract from the over all quality of the game.The cover system is great and really well thought out with lots of different points of cover for any one object.I mainly play FPS games and really liked the 3rd person view especially as it allows you to look around without moving the position of your aim i.e. like turning your head in real life (I have always felt that FPS games should have a special controller with a little 3rd stick for head turning)The co-op/campaign is great with the AI being intelligent and life like. I especially like the reflection from a snipers scope. The only problem with the co-op is that you have to have friends who have the game there is no drop in and out like in OFP RR. So if you have no friends with the game and do not make friends in the MP you will not be able to play co-op.I have not yet played guerrilla mode but have played a lot of clan MP and I love it. The harbour map is both claustrophobic and tight, but on a good sized map.If you like FPS and want something more tactical you will enjoy this.Pros: co-op all games should have thisGraphicsTactical you run and gun you won't be running very far.Interesting equipment which as an edge to the game and slows the pace down.Cons:No mates with the game or generally no mates - no co-opWhen you have shouldered your rifle and then reload it does not reshoulder your weapon i.e. looking down the sights.Auto aim - they need to provide an option to turn this off and fast - hence the lack of 5 starsApart form that I am really enjoying this game :) Hope you do too.

I do love a bit of Mr Clancy. it is a shame he is dead.I have always figured Tom's games have been a bit more cerebal than the Modern Warfare point and shoot. I did enjoy the whole creeping about trying not to get detected although it did get frustrating at times. I appreciate it is set in the future but sometimes the gadgets got on my nerves and I just wanted to go in guns blazing. But thats the game I guess. Graphics were very nice and I liked the story. I also liked the squad elements, I would definitely recommend it as I have replayed it more than once and it has a lot of nice touches that don't make the whole thing feel like you are just on a rails led narrative. I did enjoy holding my entire team up for 20 odd minutes because I was enjoying the firefight too much to move up.

I'm a big fan of shooters and love the recon and rainbow 6 series. I love this game for the stealth gameplay, I like the story as well, it's no better or worse than others around and as for the graphics, well maybe not as good as MW3 or Battlefield 3 but I wasn't sitting there thinking about this I was too focused on being sneaky and staying alive!So I give it a big thumbs up, I also like the guerilla mode but I haven't played online as I'm poor at that cos there's millions better and I die pretty quick.I'm very pleased with this and looking forward to the new Rainbow 6 and the new Splinter Cell, let's go people!

Just got this. Finally a shooter game you have think about (I haven't played SOCUM). This game isn't just mindless shooting. You have to think a little bit more about what you are doing. Previously I have only played the PC GRAW version which was great. Pity to loose team commands but overall I really like it. Also nice to see team members not just stand beside you taking rounds.Love the gun setup options but pity there is not more options like in Rainbow 6. Map sizes are good which allow you to do more than follow the set route.On the downside, the graphics and well behind COD.Overall a step in the right direction from the standard shooter but needs that extra polish.

Been waiting a while for a Tom Clancy game to beat COD. Here it is!!I have had to tolerate moronic COD gaming, campaign and online, until now. I enjoyed COD for what it is a run around shooting blindly game but to be honest its not rocket science to play and gives zero workout on the brain matter.Ghost Recon Future Soldier on the other hand gives you something to think about in all game modes. Campaign is an interesting blend of learning to use equipment and following the story of teh Ghosts, with you being the newest recruit. It alternates between silent sections with sniping being paramount or stealth kills, to "diamond formation" around a VIP whilst running through landscapes and Tangos jumping out on you! Simplistic in Story but entertaining and varied throughout.........MULTIPLAYER!!! Oh my God!! Whether you are fighting off waves a la most FPS or going solo and slaughtering online with your own specially desgined weapon you will lose days online. Instead of silly rewards such as faster reloading, more resitance to explosive damage, detect enemies from further all unrealistic 'upgrades' (COD i'm looking at you!) we have a plethora of unlockable equipment and attachments for weapons across 3 roles. Be you recon, engineer or assault! All have unique weapons, equipment and unlocks and provide a change each time you log on with their own rewards. Other major points of interest are the "choices" you have to make when unlocking equipment "do i get a customised sniper scope or the thermal one?", data hacking, commanding drones, becoming "invisible", challenges that are fun and unusual, friends challenges which change depending how good your mates are online.....i cant think if anything else to add, other than tonight i will be online and loving the whole experience.If you're bored of running round like a headless chicken and not being able to hide behind cover and actually like a challenge BUY THIS GAME!!
