Gametime
GHOST RECON 2
Somewhere deep in the heart
of the Ubisoft offices, there is a huge, massive machine the
size of the Difference Engine with giant pipes, steam whistles
and giant clangy bells. Everytime they need an idea for a
game, they pull a crank and lo and behold a long ticker tape
stream spews out from the machine with the next thrilling
plot for the next exciting game out of their stables. Ghost
Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is just one such game. Dispense
with the plot and it’s essentially the same as the last one,
albeit with a few gameplay improvements.Boiled down, GRAW
2 is a long drawn out, unforgiving shooter that gets you shooting
at naughty Mexicans with high tech gadgetry until the cows
come home.
