Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
About the Game
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is a game in the Ghost Recon series with gameplay very different from the other entries. Most of the other games are tactical shooters, while this one is a rail shooter where most of the movement is done automatically, so players only has to point and shoot. After completing a section the soldiers generally move to a next position automatically and the camera, always showing the soldiers from a third-person perspective, cannot be controlled. The narrative describes how an ultranationalist faction within the Russian army staged a coup in Moscow and other major cities to take over the country.
Story & Setting
Next to the main campaign mode there is a competitive Arcade mode to get a highscore.
