holy crap!
can't wait to get home and play...
the user rating right now is at the same level as Half-Life2 (9.2-9.3)
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/...w_6111981.html
Also, this confirms that PS2/GameCube WILL NOT get this game. They will be getting a PREQUEL to this game... a fancy way of saying a slight upgrade from Jungle Storm... but not quite GR2.

Since Red Storm's Ghost Recon 2 is only coming to the Xbox, the developer has been able to pull out all the stops in creating the game's visuals, and it shows. If you were to put the previous Ghost Recon games on the Xbox next to this one, the difference would be so great it would be hard to believe that they were running on the same hardware.

This game isn't all that in-demand. They will have boat loads of left overs today.
Shit, I had no problem finding GTA on release day despite not buying into the pre-order gimmickry
I walked right into Circuit City ( 
) and picked it up the day it was released.

This game is -OK-
It is super realistic... its like really being in combat. Its not run around guns blazing like SOCOM.
It is one shot. One kill.
Its rare you need multiple bullets to kill someone unless you shot them in the foot the first time heh
The graphics are... -meh-. Their better than SOCOM, but definately not the quality of many recent XBOX games.
The weapons are awesome... the selction is great. And they all have cool features.
The standard issue XM8 has a camera that lets you aim around corners without sticking your head out.
The no-jumping fucking SUCKS. typical Tom Clancy style... gotta press an analog stick to get over obstacles... but theres plenty you cant even do that for.
The online interface SUCKS. The only saving grace is the XBOX Live friends list. But its no Halo interface. It sucks nuts.
Overall... I think its an OK game. Definately one you should have in your XBOX Live arsenal... but I dont think its the type of thing I could play in and out every day.
Theres some aspects of it that are ridiculously frustrating.
At the same time... I've only played one out of the 30-something modes. I've played respawn DM only.
Sniping is fun as fucking hell. You feel like a real sniper... and the way the scope works is slick as shit.
The best way to describe this game is SOCOM meets Full Spectrum Warrior.
Its basically the same as FSW but more FPS than squad based.
I'm gonna go try some more modes and see if i find anything new.
For now, the crappy interface to get into games is just holding me back from even wanting to give the game itself a shot.

the more i play it the less i like it unfortunately.
you cant interact with the environment at all.
no going in buildings, no walking up hills, you cant even walk through bushes. bushes are like solid blocks. trees too... you cant walk through the foliage.
other than some cool guns this shit pretty much sucks.
imma play more. shit i own it now... why not.
but unless im just missing something... the reviews of this game do not add up

i don't like splinter cell.
too slow for me... and again... too much "staged interaction" with the environment. everything is "click a button and watch your guy do this"
OTO... the graphics of splinter cell are amazing.
Splinter Cell is pretty similar to MGS but better. Just neither are quite my bag for daily play
