Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Strengths: Great teamplay. Very tactical. Fun. Graphical. Your guys barely get confused and stuck like other games. Which is good. Great multiplay games. Which get to a point of decisions

Weakness: The Control map gets frusterating. Your own men sometimes shoot you.(usually your fault)

Best shooters of its time. If you like tactics, the game should be called tactics. This game is full of decisions. I would always brag about the game at game stores like "buy this, it is the bomb" And sometimes your decisions take too long and then "bang"

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Strengths: Awesome gameplay and visuals. This is the best game for XBOX Live by far! A good variety of missions and excellent team playing.

Weakness: Sometimes the map screen gets confusing to use.

If you only purchase one game for XBOX live or LAN playing, this is it! You can play through the single player, but the excitement kicks in when you are part of a team and online together. A wide variety of weapons and missions make this one fun to play again and again.

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Strengths: If you enjoyed Ghost Recon, then you'll buy this. Great teamplay, great XBox Live title, challening missions, keeps you guessing on how to get to the end of the mission.

Weakness: Confusing controls compared to other games, more of the same if you didn't like Ghost Recon.

One of the prime XBox Live titles out there. It builds on the good play of Ghost Recon and takes it into the jungle. Definately promotes team play and because of that, makes a great online title. Some of the missions are quite challenging, and it makes you think a bit on how to make it to the objective, but this isn't a twitch shooter. Good graphics and realistic action keep you on your toes. If...

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Strengths: You can control your teams. There are a wide variety of weapons.

Weakness: It is WAY too short of a mission. There are only like 8 missions and once you beat the game, it is pointless to play anymore

It was fun to play but the game is just way too short and I probably won't play it again. I did like playing it because of the wide variety of weapons and the control you have in the game but I completed the mission so quickly so that was frustrating.

island thunder

Strengths: great online play w/ Xbox Live

Weakness: you die w/ only a few hits

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder is one of the many first person shooters for the X box. This game plays like its predecessor, and since it is a Tom Clancy game, it is infused with a strong sense of realism where you actually have to have careful planning and strategy if you plan to complete your mission with a minimal amount of casualties. In this game, the setting takes place in a fictional future...

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Strengths: AI, Xbox live, game play, storyline

Weakness: Graphics

Ghost Recon Island Thunder is the expansion pack to the original Ghost Recon game for the PC and Xbox. It is very similar to the original game, the AI is still very good, especially the soldiers that accompany your character. The game play is also very good and stable. The storyline of a futuristic Cuba following the death of Fidel Castro was also very interesting. The only drawback was the...

The Ghosts are back for more action.

Strengths: Excellent online multiplayer modes.

Weakness: A bit short compared to the original Ghost Recon. (This game can be considered an expansion of the first game and not a true sequel)

The classic Xbox live title returns once again with some extras from the PC update Island Thunder and Desert Siege. With pretty much identical game play to the original Ghost Recon, fans and newcomers can both get to grips with this classic game. Featuring an extensive 8 mission campaign and many multi player options /maps including the great Xbox Live play. Ghost Recon Island Thunder or GRIT is...

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

Strengths: Decent shooter

Weakness: Need a big screen TV to see the people

This game is a pretty decent shooter. I enjoyed it, but I had to move the xbox onto a different TV to play it because my 19" was just way too small to see the people shooting at me. The graphics are decent, and the controls work well with the controller. Check this one out.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder

You have to hand it to our fighting troops that, even in the face of immense danger, they see their mission through to its very end. If anything, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon allowed gamers to experience what it is like to be in the skin of an elite group of specially trained soldiers that the realistic nature of the game made Xbox gamers think through each decision as if lives depended on it....
