Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter / Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3 for Xbox

This review of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) is in reference to the XBOX 360 version of the game (the best version in my opinion).
There are two major components of GRAW: the single player campaign and the LIVE (online) multiplayer mode.
Single Player Campaign: Advanced Warfighter for 360 boasts incredibly detailed 3D modeling and textures that I could attempt to describe until I'm blue in the face, but really, you have to see it with your own eyes to fully comprehend how remarkable it is. Of course there are the effects… effects out the blow-hole, from convincing particle effects like torrents of fire, rolling dust clouds, billowing plumes of smoke and explosions that will singe your eyebrows, to stunning lighting and immersive atmospherics, every facet of the graphics are top-notch and life-like. As for the sound design... utterly amazing. The sound is just as beautifully crafted as the visuals, you can hear gun-fire in the distance and a crying baby down a desolate alley up ahead just before all hell breaks loose and bullets zing by your ears from the left and an RPG comes in from behind and blows your eardrums out, temporarily deafening you. GRAW employs some of the most advanced techniques and technologies combined with fluid game play and an impeccable storyline, combined to create a truly stunning masterpiece that is not to be missed.

Multiplayer: There are many who will jump straight into the Multiplayer aspect of the game, which can be played locally, system linked or via Xbox LIVE (online). The multiplayer component of GRAW is ever so slightly toned down in comparison to the single player campaign, but still outshines every game you have previously played, single player & multiplayer alike. The physics are spot on, if you down an enemy while he's standing on the stairs, his body will realistically tumble down the steps to the ground. The objects and environments are so detailed you could easily find yourself getting sniped if you get too awe-struck and start staring at rain droplet's making ripples in an puddle or shiny shell casings rolling on the ground. Every map in multiplayer is well balanced and loads of fun to play, you will have your favorites, but every one of them is a gem. Not only are there many maps to chose from, there are many game modes to chose from like Elimination, Objective, CO-OP, and a plethora of options to create user definable custom match types. Certainly enough to keep you entertained for a long time.

The replay value of GRAW is virtually eternal and there is a Downloadable Content Package that will be available soon on the MarketPlace (360)
