swartsz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 that is, at least, one GOTY award in the bag!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Drew Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 You know, GR:AW hasn't been getting as many GOTY-worthy ratings as it should be. Everyone is too biased towards Sony, and they're taking it out on great games that deserve way better ratings than they're receiving. It really isn't fair, because this game deserves exactly what Game Trailers gave it, and more. Awesome, thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors-3Dge Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) you know this is the highest award i think they have given, most other games are in the 8.0 or 7.0 ratings. Also thanks for putting it up on the news page, . Edited March 18, 2006 by Razors-3Dge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon Drew Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 My computer has been running all sorts of scans, because I have all of them scheduled for 3:00am, so I haven't got a chance to watch it yet. But it is downloaded, and just begging to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Star Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Well the graphics seem amazing, true (although I reckon they could well have been a bit grittier, everything seems a bit too clean). One section of the review epitomises the way Ghost Recon has changed into a complete console shooter. It is in the first half of the review, your character runs down a hill, firing his assualt rifle on full auto, and killing the guy at the bottom. Try this in the first GR and your a dead man, you would get cut to ribbons. You would drop to one knee, double tap, and the guy is down. I noticed there was a great deal of running and gunning in the rest of the review as well. Now ive never fired an assault rifle but I doubt anyone can fire it accurately on full auto whilst your running, its ridiculous. Im not a PC only fan by the way, I have every installment on both PC and XBox so far, GRAW will most probably be the only installment I will never play, because by all accounts it has lost the very reasons I played and loved it in the first place (athough GR2 and GR2:SS were a bit more consolised than I liked). Why is there so much clutter on the screen as well? Edited March 18, 2006 by Lucky Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Drew Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Just watched it. Amazing review, hits the nail square on the head. And to answer all of your questions Lucky Star, that's the multi-player. On co-op. The co-op AI isn't too smart, because there are usually hundreds of them running around. If I ever get these videos I have posted, I'll show you what I mean. You do get cut to ribbons. A lot. And I mean, A LOT. It isn't as run and gun as it looks in the review. One of my buddies who is part of the run and gun crowd tried it out and got cut down so many times, he almost broke one of my controllers. And it really isn't RNG if you're playing on Hard. The screen is cluttered because of all of the enemies that the cross-com is following. This feature is turned off easily. - Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M95-Sniper Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 9.9 is abit too high in my opinion, would say 9.8 is about right. Lol, nah, it's a great experience and well worth the purchase of a xbox 360. To my surprise the machine actually delivers. And it looks as the best pc money can buy at this moment. I can one only hope that the pc version even surpasses this. That would be awesome. For now, I will enjoy GRAW on xbox 360 until I get tired of it. 9.8 Lol Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRP 56 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Nice review. Now if I only knew someone with a 360 and GRAW I'd see for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornToKill Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 wicked review, although i'm gonna promise myself not to watch anymore GRAW 360 reviews or else i'm gonna end up going out and buying a 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon Drew Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 GameTrailers.com are a bunch of really cool guys. Everything's free, they're honest and un-biased, and they actually have a spine. Not only that, but they have tons of exclusives and video of just about every aspect of every modern-day game. Great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
