Ghost Recon is a brave departure from the mould of its high-profile predecessors, and the introduction makes this manifestly clear. The aura of an American war movie remains: with heart-stirring soundtrack and mean gun-toting vindicators in uniform; but the outdoor terrains of South-Eastern Europe are the backdrop, rather than the claustrophobic Western 747s, museums or villas of the original duo. The familiar SWAT team uniforms are replaced by full camouflage; flash-bangs making way for LAWs. This truly testosterone-fuelled political anti-terrorist combat, replete with post-September 11th patriotism.
