We game on a budget AGAIN!!!

So its mid-month, your a bit broke and can't wait for pay day. You have a bit of cash and you would like to buy a new game. Luckily for you there's a game out there, that's selling for R200 and is available at all major gaming stores. Ladies and gentleman we game on a budget AGAIN with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.



Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is the sequel to Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, the storyline takes  place in 2014. Since its a sequel? you are situated not far from the original setting of the 1st installment. You battle your way through Mexico all the way back to the USA. Your main enemies are Mexican rebel groups, and Mexican loyalists and yes you guessed it? You are part of the U.S Army. This battle takes place in a space of 72 hours.


So you take the role of Scott Mitchel and lead a team of "Ghosts" through Mexico in search of unclear weapons that the Mexican rebels plan to use against the Americans. You exchange bullets with the rebels all over Mexico from small cities, to the mountains and all the way back to the U.S border. During the game you are given a gadget that helps you spot the enemy from a safe distance. The cool thing about this gadget (the UAV Cypher) it allows you to see the enemy from its point of view using the games CrossCam feature. You can also use the CrossCam feature on your squad members, tanks and helicopters.



If you are new to first person shooters you won't struggle with the controls as they easy to understand and at the beginning of the game you go on a training mission to familiarize yourself with the game play, before you take on the enemy. If you are a pro at these types of games you can easily skip the training. During the game you also get to take control of a tank, helicopter and a stryker just to name a few things that you can use in battle. Along the way you'll be assisted by Mexican forces and you'll find yourself being in control of 5 soldiers. There's a nasty twist to the game and it will leave you at the edge of your seat.


The graphics are stunning, and the change of scenery from a clear sunny day to a cloudy, windy evening is quite realistic. At times the game controls are confusing especially when you are under fire from enemy tanks and you are trying to order an air strike. Overall its a good game and if you have a bit more money then some of us get yourself the latest version of this game called Ghost Recon Future Soldier and it retails for R529. Both games are available on PS3 and Xbox 360.
