This is gameplay footage of the PS2 version of Ghost Recon 2.

I liked the online mode for this one. It was decent, and played like the original series did online. The single player, however, was not that inspiring. It tried to be more of an action oriented game, and while I don't mind action oriented games, the health system stayed the same meaning though it is more action packed, it's health setup better suits the original GR games which were slower and more tactical. That health system worked for them, because it added to the tension. It doesn't work for GR2, and only just to the frustration. I was playing on veteran difficulty for this footage, and it took me five tries to make it through the level.

The health system isn't the only problem, it has been a while since I played further into the game, so I don't remember if all the other levels were devoid of checkpoints or not. Normally, I wouldn't complain about such things (I'd just suck it up and play like a man), but when calling your A.I. controlled teammates worthless is a compliment, there's a problem there. They are no help, and the enemies are pretty good shots. Often times, you end up team killing your buddies, because they run directly in front of your line of fire.

Though the game actually looks pretty good, graphically, it doesn't have a consistent framerate (and in the game's defense, some of the stuttering in this vid is due to my crappy computer). The controls feel pretty good overall, and the game is open to using the Socom Headset to give your teammates voice commands. The downside to the controls is that you have no way to configure them in-game. You have to actually exit to the main menu to access the options. It would have been a simple fix, but it's made worse by the long load times.

Overall, I'd say that I do like some of the gunplay in the game, it does a decent job of making you feel that you are in the action, but the flaws do outweigh the good points in the single player. The online mode was fun, but as far as I know, the servers have been taken down (don't quote me on that one I will double check sometime). If you find it for cheap, it may do a decent job of entertaining you, but overall, go for the Xbox version (which was a different game) instead of the PS2 version. If you want a good Ghost Recon game to play on the PS2, I really enjoyed Jungle Storm.
