Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
The sequel to last year's great, GRAW 2 is an excellent follow-up. Major improvements to the command system and new support systems have enhanced the single-player tremendously. Multiplayer has had a large overhaul as well. There are several more game modes, and new customization options. One thing I find very interesting is that a couple of the headgears can only be unlocked by playing Rainbow Six: Vegas and Splinter Cell: Double Agent and are actually headgears from those games. There is now clan support, as well. The game plays very well and I have yet to find any glitches.
Score: 4/5
I highly recommend it to fans of the series, and it is also a very good game for those who are new to the tactical shooter genre. |

| I didn't really care for the first GRAW. I thought there was sometimes too much stuff going on in the first GRAW. Also there was sometimes too much stuff you have to manage as well. Gamefly has sent out GRAW 2 and I should have it in a few days. There is no really interesting Xbox 360 games coming out soon so I'll give GRAW 2 a shot. |

| I just got GRAW 2 along with Crackdown and i found some time to play GRAW 2 and i think it is really good so far. I heard garbage about it like it wasnt worth the money cause people don't seem to know what a sequel is (check out xbox.com forums to see what I mean). I have the first one and I think it is a great sequel so far. One of the first levels where you ride the plane in the rain was really cool. |

GRAW 2 is way better than GRAW 1. They improved a lot of areas that were annoying in the first one.
The machine gun overheats a lot slower now and you can control your teammates easier.
It is a cool feature that you can hold RB and see from the Tank, Helicopter, Teammate or whatever. You can also do this in multiplayer which is really cool.
The graphics are better, the armor looks better, they improved everything in the game.
To me, though, the campaign felt like an expansion pack, but it was definitely worth 60 bucks.
I give the game a 9/10, the same rating as Xbox Magazine.

| I finished the campaign this weekend, and it was a really... interesting ending. I won't give anything away but let's just say it ended alot like Rainbow Six Vegas: Good, but not quite over. A couple questions remain unanswered. |

I'd give it a 9.8/10
The points are deducted for the Voice Glitch when Joining games, and the glitch where it shows someone killing someone else more than once, when it was only once...
Other than that, it's flawless.... Unless you cant handle a realistic shooter.... It may just not be some people's 'cup of tea' if you know what I mean, and the learning curve is a little difficult... |

| I love this game's campaign mode, but the multiplayer is just horrible...not worth 60$ imo. |

Man, jfernando, you have a problem :p
The online is some of the best I've played in a very long while... But for most people its too realistic, and most people online are Gost Recon Veterans and people online are either very good or very bad... |

I love this game, and in the singleplayer department, i think it wins over Rainbow Six: Vegas easily.
In multiplayer, it's fantastic, but a few glitches are holding it back right now from being better than Vegas.
e.g. Voice glitch, joining "In Lobby" games only to find they are definitely not in the lobby, jerky movements online (sliding around), no spectator mode, and sloowwwww server browser.
If we're going to wait for 10 minutes to join a game, we should at least get the opportunity to see what's going on. Vegas does this nicely, although a First-Person spectating option would be nice.
Other than those things, GRAW 2 is great online. If Ubi can fix those things, then it'll edge out above Vegas. For now, though, I'm still digging the GRAW experience. |

| Yes, the server browser is slow, sometimes it sucks because it reads "In Lobby" but they started the game 10 seconds ago... |
