letterbomb418's Full Review: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike for Xbox
Again, just like GR2, this game did not thrill me. I must admit that it was better than the plain old GR2, but it still (in my opinion) wasn’t the best. It didn’t give me that great “ghost recon” type of feel that I was really looking forward to. I played Ghost Recon and Island Thunder so much and I guess I was just let down with this game. I mostly played the multiplayer portion and got bored very quickly with the single player game.
Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike is a military based First Person shooter available for the Xbox. Although Ghost Recon games have been solely First Person view in the past, this game also has an over the shoulder (3rd person) view available. This is the first thing that really discouraged me about the game. I for one love the first person view and when playing over xbox live, the OTS view gives opponents a very big advantage over someone like myself who plays using the FP view. In my opinion, there should have only been one view available so that this advantage never came into play. The graphics in the game are very good for their time. They were like a polished version of what GR2 had to offer, so nothing that new in this department.
The single player game, to me, felt very slow and boring. I know it is a tactical shooter, but it still felt overly slow. The game also felt repetitive to me, but this was mostly due to the gameplay. I would not suggest this game to anyone looking for a fun single player experience. The multiplayer game, on the other hand, is in my opinion the only reason to purchase this game. It was an “ok” experience to me, only because I found it far different from Ghost Recon Island Thunder – the ghost recon I was used to playing. For most people, however, the multiplayer experience was a lot of fun. There are about 20 or so maps available and 24 (I think) gametypes to choose from.
