Intro
================================================================
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series is, in my opinion, one of the best tactical third person shooters out there, and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 does not disappoint. It is one of my favorite titles out for the 360 so far, and a title I still play.
Graphics 8|10
================================================================
The game's graphics are decent, but not fully where they could have been to meet what I expected from the game. There were several annoying glitches that made it hard to play as well at a couple of points. Despite this, the maps looked good and the characters were well modeled, so the graphics were more than sufficient for what was needed for the game.
Sound 8|10
================================================================
The sounds in GRAW 2 were very well placed, and it had some epic music, unfortunately there was not enough of the epic music for my taste. If the game had a more extensive score it would have benefited a lot, although for the main mode of play, multiplayer, music isn't required, nor necessarily wanted, so it was not that big of a problem.
Controls 8|10
================================================================
The game was a third person tactical shooter, and the controls fit what was required to play the game. It was easy to move around, aim, and shoot, and there were no major (or minor) problems with the system.
Story 7|10
================================================================
As a shooter with emphasis on multiplayer tends to be, this game had a very shallow story. Basically a continuation of GRAW 1, the story saw you fighting various rebels around the Mexico-Texas border. It did offer some good single player gameplay, but as far as story goes, you're better off with another game.
Fun 9|10
================================================================
This game is one of my favorite games to play, and one of the few games I am actually somewhat good at. The multiplayer maps are well done and fun to play on, the people are usually fairly nice, and the search method to find rooms is very nice. Overall, one of the more fun online games for the 360.
Replay 9|10
================================================================
Taking multiplayer into account, this is one of the most replayable games on the 360. The multiplayer never gets boring, and it's even fun to go back to the campaign every once in a while to try to get some achievements.
Multiplayer
================================================================
This game's multiplayer is nearly the best one out there for 360 out of all the games I've played online. The maps are fairly balanced, they have plenty of updates out bringing new maps (and returning old ones) and weapons, and the multiplayer also has a coop campaign that is fun when you can get players to join you.
