Graphically, the game looks just as good as the Xbox 360 version. Sometimes things just get a little too hectic, resulting in the action slowing down. Overall, though, it runs cleanly, with its wide-open maps, realistic visual effects and top-notch animation. Watching a rogue gunman slump over dead after taking him out still produces a great deal of satisfaction. Audio consists of booming sound effects, constant soldier chatter and the occasional pep talk with General Keating, a military advisor who wants to keep America safe at all costs. It can be a little overdramatic but, considering the tone of the game, it fits.

PlayStation Network subscribers will have no trouble getting into a heated multiplayer match, whether working with a friend in a string of co-op missions through Panama or going all out in a 16-player firefight. The online play handles well, without any real lag. It's also worth noting that the game features a few extra maps that have been rebuilt from previous Ghost Recon fan favorites. Xbox 360 has the same maps now, thanks to the Throwback Packs, but it's good to have them here without enduring a lengthy download. Having a buddy list on hand helps too, so gamers don't have to wade through countless users to find friends to go up against.

Despite the slight presentation issues and a shorter-than-short campaign mode, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 is a fun action game. It looks and plays splendidly -- and kudos to Ubisoft for not throwing in some crappy gimmick to take advantage of the SIXAXIS. Lock and load and save Mexico already.
