Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

I preordered this game, on the strength of the previews and released developer diaries. I am not ashamed to say, I was sucked into the hype somewhat. The game looked amazing, and as the bloke on those videos chatted on about the cross com and how clever your squad-mates would be, I felt confident that the game was gna-be-fucking-amazing.

Well it’s not. It’s fun for about 2 hours. Then you get stuck on the super hard level, because it actually means impossible. Anyone who’s managed to get to, or past the second mission (chaingun in the chopper) mission on the super hard skill knows what I’m talking about.

IGN posted a review a few days ago (read here) regarding the recently released EA title, Godfather. In true sensationalist style, objectivity flies out of the window as the review hits home hard with the comment ‘Whether you love or hate Electronic Arts, there is little doubt that of all the multi-million dollar licenses the mammoth company has bought, handling this one is the biggest yet.’, bigger than the licenses for its plethora of yearly re-versioned sports titles one must assume.

Shockingly the review continues with an almost honest tone; ‘EA did an OK job at capturing the film. The areas where it shines most are in the beginning‘. An ‘OK job’, we are clearly being treated to the very bleeding edge of games journalism. The honesty continues, commenting on how the game isn’t a movie, and that when it recreates the scenes, they are not moving, and even goes so far as to mention that the PC game ‘Mafia’ does a far better job of recreating the vibe of the Godfather movies. We knew this all along obviously.
