The Ghost Recon team must enter Mexico City and prevent the assassination of the President of the United States.

Overview

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is the third installment of the Ghost Recon series. This tactical shooter was released on Xbox 360, Xbox, PlayStation 2, and PC.

Plot

The story begins with a US spy plane carrying the Guardrail IX, a device that can disrupt all wireless communication, being shot down over Nicaragua. The Ghost team is sent to recover the device, but the mission is aborted when rebellion breaks out in Mexico City. The Ghost team is redeployed to protect a summit being attended by the President of the United States, the Canadian prime minister, and the Mexican president, who are there to sign the North American Joint Security Agreement. The attack is being orchestrated by Colonel Carlos Ontiveros, who is opposed to the NAJSA and wants to prevent its signing.

Gameplay

Squad-based combat plays a significant role in GRAW. The player controls the Ghost leader, who's responsible for directing the actions of the squad, such as whether to move out or take cover, though the player still does the majority of the fighting. While more forgiving than past Ghost Recon games, with the ability to take more than one shot before dying, the player is unable to recover health during an active mission.

Releases

Three versions of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter were released.

Xbox 360

Developed by UbiSoft Paris for the Xbox 360, this version of the game is played from a behind the shoulder third-person perspective similar to Gears of War, but the player still has an option to switch to a first-person perspective. The third-person perspective allowed for a unique cover mechanic, where players are able to hide behind cover and see around or over walls.

The PC version of Tom Cancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter was developed by GRIN, a Swedish game developer. This version is more attuned to the original Ghost Recon game by forcing a first-person perspective. The seemingly harder difficulty of this version was an effort to get fans of the original Ghost Recon games back into the series. The PC version also added more options for the player to issue commands to their squadmates by allowing the player to issue individual commands for each friendly AI.

PlayStation 2 & Xbox

The PlayStation 2 and Xbox version was developed by UbiSoft Shanghai. Unlike past Ghost Recon games on these consoles, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is played from a strictly first-person perspective. Also unlike the Xbox 360 and PC counterparts, the PS2 and Xbox version only featured one friendly AI as opposed to three.
