As someone who follows the activities of Ubisoft and met with almost all the games publisher, I could write a review of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, never regained consciousness and did not finish a single level. "A number of cosmetic improvements GRAW2 makes an ideal choice for fans of the first part, but newcomers will not be disappointed." Now, having finished in the single-player campaign, I'm ready to subscribe to every word. Yes, from the first part of the game really differ only in minor upgrades - after all, so it really is a big difference, forty kinds of weapons you have, or fifty? Yes, explosive gameplay will certainly captivate novice not familiar with the first GRAW. It's amazing how the developers managed to rid us of the feeling of deja vu - you do not think that all this has been, on the contrary, you are delighted to meet each new podlyanku Mexican terrorists: "Oh, you like that? Get-ka, the bastards, the American lead! "Even tough veterans, past is not a tactical shooter, will find something to see.
In addition to the Xbox 360 and PS3, which we tell you today, there are also GRAW2 on PC and PlayStation Portable. This is not a port, a separate game with its own engines. For PC - continuation of the first part of the same computer game: we see happening in the first person, and the management and the levels originally created for the PC. It should be noted that it is inferior to the console version of what is happening in scope and intensity of passion: if you have the opportunity to choose, we would advise an option for the Xbox 360. Finally, the PSP you go into battle alone, without the support of friends, but the game is transformed from a tactical shooter in an ordinary shooter. The developers promise that the campaign will be held in conjunction with friends, connecting the console technology Wi-Fi. The two "other" version come out in June, the PC game will appear in the beginning of the month, and the PSP - in the end.

Background: The long ago, at the dawn of this century, Ubisoft came up with a new game series in the line of Tom Clancy. In the first Ghost Recon, we, driving squad commandos, carried out secret operations behind enemy lines. Notorious "realism" in the game was through the roof, shooting mostly went over distances of a hundred feet: close approach was too risky, because one label bullet could easily send a hero to the light. What is happening is like the old Rainbow Six, with the difference that the fighting took place in open terrain. New time demands new solutions: Rainbow Six turned into a console shooter (say it with someone seven years ago - would have laughed and threw scraps), and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter got postscript, and is currently traded on the near future, and realism to the entertainment.The original GRAW was one of the first challenges of games for Xbox 360 and rightfully earned the love of both journalists and gamers. The second part goes through the whole year - but that's OK. Ubisoft has long continue to do get the hand in a very short time.
No need to be Kashpirovsky to ... However, Kashpirovsky be needed anymore. But guess, from the creators of the second part of inspiration, it is still easy. GRAW was a fairly regular and severe tactical shooter. The team can land on the edge of the level and send the victory to the other side a huge card - let alone how to get there, you decide for yourself. Liberty remained in GRAW2, but now the game injected a healthy dose of military fervor of Call of Duty: epic instrumental soundtrack, audacious assaults, bad defense, bravura splash on the engine and the air war for a just cause suprotiv villainous international hydra. Smoke bombs for the first time in the history of video games do not look worse than Call of Duty 3, and one of the few innovations and completely copied from one in a CoD: subordinates have learned to cry to warn about the situation of the enemy: "I see two! The red car "or" Sniper! Directly on the roof! ". One is forced to wait for the continuation of the wilds of the Second World War: "Basil! Goeth-To-cover! "
 | |  | Military historians will call this conflict "Battle of the pipeline." | | Enemy helicopters - the eternal headache infantryman. Yes, we will fight them. And more than once. |
And it's not bad. This, on the contrary, healthy and GRAW is good. If before the campaign was podzatyanutoy and execution of orders of the authorities was reduced to a tedious "liquidation" of the Mexicans, but now ... Of course, Mexicans still can not live, but the battle is never complete without special effects. At each level, you are guaranteed a couple of times open-mouthed surprise and delight after another heroic scene. The last effort to curb the brutal attacks of the enemy, enemies closer, less health, ammo is running out, and all hope only for a transport helicopter ... When enveloped in flames saving machine with a crash decreases ten meters from the unit, you forget that what is happening - just a game. Even regular saver engine to become more alive, and Mitchell himself from a soldier becomes a man: one level, he loses his helmet fashion, and with it - with a base and access to the command interface, which completely changes the game. And not because you first see a bald head Scott: left without a satellite prompts, you just do not understand where their own, and where other people, and together with the hero feel the chaos that suddenly engulfed the city streets. The campaign is very good, but the powder with the developers on a lot not enough - three game days in the company of "ghosts" in the real world fly in five to six hours.
From obnovok: Computer System Cross-Com now lets look at the world through the eyes of his comrades and giving orders as if you were close to the battle group, which significantly expands the tactical options. In addition to the "Cypher" (flying spy camera with a little motor), APCs, tanks and helicopters gave us the so-called "donkey" - an unarmed armored box on wheels. Used in two ways: first, to bring Mitchell a new weapon, and secondly, as a mobile shelter. Subordinates are now divided into classes, and you can choose whom to take on the job, such as a sniper or a medic. Sniper is easy to take away the enemy even at ultra-high range, but not enough that a doctor carries a more "kits" than any other soldier, but also can cure himself Mitchell.Tales of the "improved AI» tales remained: the enemies foolish rushing on open ground, and our special forces are not always able to guess which side of the shelter of their life in danger. As before, the foot of the mission diluted by entertainment from the six-gun fire from the helicopter board - it is in these scenes you will appreciate, how nice the authors GRAW2 learned to make graphics. Such spectacular explosions in no other game, and visibility from the bird's-eye view for several miles in all directions will not leave anyone indifferent.
 | |  | Now you can look at the world through the eyes of his comrades and to give orders on the fly without going back into the helmet of Captain Mitchell. | | No other game has no such plausible explosions. Air support destroys any equipment of the enemy in seconds. |
Multiplayer in the first part was built on a slightly different engine, and output graphics are not as remarkable as the single. Now - another thing: the picture when playing online was the same as in the single player campaign. In multiplayer shoot-outs can take up to sixteen people, but developers have not managed to invent a single game mechanic: the network riot again refuses to cling to walls and shoot around corners. However, this does not spoil a great tactical online shooter, and each of the ten game modes can be customized to your needs by changing the victory conditions, the number of "life", available weapons and stuff. Multiplayer options are almost endless - the first GRAW was one of the most popular games on Xbox Live, the second surely will continue this good tradition. There is also a co-operative campaign to six missions in which this time will have to act together. The first part required of us, roughly speaking, "clean up the map, and now, with the advent of dynamic tasks, assault teams" ghosts "have to learn to help each other - for example, in one level to undermine the two radio towers at the same time, the enemy was unable to cause reinforcement. In addition, any soldier in the unit can be mortally wounded - then he falls to the ground unconscious and in need of urgent medical care. The task of friends - to provide it, the problem is the enemy - do not allow. Finally, fans of GRAW required to add a game clan support, and please: the clans have. You can join a team, choose a common color scheme, uniforms, and the motto - and then call the other clans to friendly competition. Even on Xbox Live is a rare game can boast of such rich possibilities.
In the last lines of the letter you want to return to the rows first. Game - great, even more explosive and exciting than last year's GRAW. The single could have been longer, but a wealth of multiplayer easily redeems this defect. Unlike the first part is small, so they do not really need: GRAW2 - play solid and complete. If Call of Duty 2 can be called a virtual "Saving Private Ryan," Steven Spielberg, then Advanced Warfighter 2 will be "Black Hawk Down" by Ridley Scott.Let the Oscar for directing this film and not get, but the nomination will be required.
 | SECRET! |
Start a new single-player campaign. When the game prompts you to enter a campaign name, type «GRAW2QUICKFAMAS» without the quotes. In an adventure story will not change anything, but whatever level you may run in a mode Quick Mission, Mitchell will always have at its disposal a French rifle FAMAS. And here's another trick: if you have on your hard drive (or memory card) is the conservation of Rainbow Six: Vegas or Splinter Cell: Double Agent, then in a multiplayer game when you configure the look of your character you will receive a bonus pair of hats. What? Surprise!
