Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (PC)

Pleasing to the eyes
Calling air strikes owns
AI is moronic
Unrealistically hard
CrossCom badly implemented

I can understand that they’ve made the PC version tactical and the 360 version more action oriented, but I feel they should have made the PC counterpart a little more forgiving; you cannot take more than a shot or two from the enemy before you succumb to your injuries in the PC version, and no matter how quick you are, you’re sure to get shot every now and then and reload from a checkpoint. For me, the game lost its charm somewhere between its quick loads and the crazy amounts of times I died without any warning. To make it even harder they’ve ensured that you don’t heal at resupply points like you do in the 360 version, which makes the game anally hard and frustrating at times.


After playing a long chunk of the frustratingly unforgiving campaign, I decided to play the co-op maps for a while. Unfortunately for me, the co-op missions were equally tough and my teammate and I had to respawn time and time again after we'd died at the hands of unrealistic odds. I won’t say that it wasn’t fun, but it was so only for the first 5 minutes (5 minutes = around 10-15 deaths by the way). After that it was just downright frustrating since the game didn’t give us the tools it did in the single player campaign to cope with the difficulty, such as the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) to help spot enemies, without which it was impossible to know what’s around the next corner.


With GRAW 2, the GRAW PC series has moved from pleasantly challenging to truly unforgiving, draining the joy out of the gameplay like a bloodthirsty mosquito. If you have the patience to deal with cumbersome AI and unforgiving gameplay, you might be able to play to game, but I doubt you’d enjoy yourself. GRAW 2 on the Xbox 360 is a much better investment in my opinion, so if you have to choose between those two, it should be a no-brainer.
