Product Description
Product Description
The ghosts are back and ready for more action in the stand-alone Xbox campaign disc for the award-winning Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder. This first-ever campaign disc for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft will not require players to have a retail copy of the original game to enjoy a new Ghost campaign. Both new recruits and seasoned vets who earned their stripes playing the original Xbox game will enjoy the camaraderie of the shared battlefield. Xbox Live soldiers can experience the intensity of the front lines side-by-side with their battlefield brothers while covering each others' backs and calling out commands using the Xbox Live Communicator headset.
Gamers who purchase the campaign disc will have future access to exclusive downloadable content featuring new missions and maps. Included in the campaign disk will be a dozen game types and 12 multi-player maps for Xbox Live play, including four maps from the original Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.

Island thunder for the xbox is an amazing game. Not only is it a great single player game but it also has the wonderful xbox live enabled with it too. It really comes into it's own on xbox live however, and there is nothing better than shooting your mate after an long sneak around the map. Old map favourites are still here from the first GR like Embassy, and now there is downloadable content. Already you can download an awesome map by the name of refinery. If you are an xbox live gamer then you would have to be a fool to miss out on the delights of this game. If not it's still fun to play on your own

I'm not usually into this kind of game, snooping around pretending to be a soldier out in the jungle shooting bad people etc... And I found the single player game of Ghost Recon to be just that, not much fun (for me), however going on-line with this game is a different story altogether.
Although it's the same game, it's much more fun snooping around the jungle trying to kill you're mates! And even more fun playing some of the co-operative missions as a team against the computer AI, which I might add is very good.
There's no easy way to describe the fun when 3 or 4 of you are pinned down in a tin hut (virtually that is), talking (over the headset) about how to deal with the situation of getting out of the hut without being killed, whilst hearing the bullets ‘PING’ of the outside of the shed, it’s fantastic and you really feel like it’s you and your mates up against it.
I could go on about the graphic detail, texture work, sound etc… but it’s really not relevant, because all you need to know is that ‘IT WORKS’, you feel like your there, and I’ve not felt that in many games.
So to finish off… It’s very tense, it gets people working together and is a superb way to waste a few hours with some friends.
Oh and I almost forgot it’s a cheap purchase too, so if you have Xbox Live already get this game!

Rain all around you, mud in your combat shoes, in your combat gear & on your gun.The rain so thick you can't see 10 m in front of you.
The future of cuba in your hands. Trying to see the enemy target with your scope. Suddenly you hear gun sounds crackaling, splashing of mud around you and the thud of metal passing through flesh. Your main gunner is dead. You have the spilt second choice of: 1 Shoot randomly and hope, 2 blend in with the surrounding mud or 3 goin alla Rambo.
This is what Ghost Recon Island Thunder did to me after 5 minutes of playing.
The gist of the story is: Castro has croacked and Cuba is about have the first free election of head of state after some generally bad people running the country. you must make sure every thing goes smoothly.
You get 8 new missions on the disk, about 10 fully Xbox Live play able maps + 4 maps from the original game chosen by the fans and a new multi-player mode + the original 4 modes. Downloadable content. It is an Expansion Disc which does not require you to buy the original game and at that price an exellent buy.
There are some quibles, 1 the graphics are pretty good but won't win The Best Graphics of the Year Award, 2 the team set-up mode is a bit sluggish when macking choices and 3 it is not to uncommon to have a BIT of lag. But these are generaly minor quibbles. The gameplay is mostly smooth and well made so go out there and save the world again.

Island Thunder
This game is a tactical squad based shooter and is very difficult although I have completed it. The single player has eight missions and is very good, incredibly tense and gritty... Read more
