All in all, Ghost Recon Future Soldier is a strong product with plenty to do. It could easily become your go-to multiplayer fare this summer. The single-player campaign is excellent, and multiplayer is varied and deep. The only thing threatening Future Soldier’s greatness is an unproven community of players who may or may not move over from the beta. Of course, only the ghosts know what the future holds.

However, a few moments do exist when GRFS loses its flexibility a bit and strays too close to similar scenarios in other war games (waves of enemies prior to extraction in one mission, segments where a turret is operated from a helicopter), which just aren’t as good as GRFS‘ normal gameplay. Also, gamers may need to be concerned about the possibility of a few glitches as well: one involved being unable to open a door because a teammate was stuck in a crawling animation and another involved a “Restart From Checkpoint†selection that loaded into a black screen, forcing a reset. Note, though, that all of the mentioned instances in this paragraph are/were few and far between.

Ghost Recon: Future Solider is a refreshing change from the current trend of thoughtless shooters, and in the moments when everything clicks together, it’s hard to think of a more absorbing shooter. Unfortunately it doesn’t always click though, and forgettable dialogue, poor facial animations and inconsistent visuals dent what is otherwise a great game, plus there’s no denying a little extra polish would’ve made a huge difference. But if you’re after a superbly paced, thoughtful shooter that boasts a strong campaign and enjoyable multiplayer, Future Soldier is bang on target.

GR:FS is so nearly a landmark game. It’s busting with great gadgets, challenging and unusual to play and committed to a true co-op spirit that most rivals have long since abandoned. If only it looked a little better, had a few more maps and U-Play made it easier to find a quick online match-up with your mates. Even so, it’s a worthy alternative to any FPS and puts the Ghost Recon franchise right back at the cutting edge.

Thanks to your squad’s ace sync shots, mind, this isn’t as daunting a task as you’d fear. With the ability to paint targets for your buddies to shoot, you can stack up to four shots at once, then unleash a torrent of death with a squeeze of R2.

In terms of gameplay then, it’s business as usual for the Ghost Recon team with a variety of escort, extraction, attack and defend missions, where using stealth and stopping to think before you shoot is paramount to success. Locations are fairly predictable with the likes of a shanty town, a mansion and an airstrip among the battlefields, but level design is impressive with multiple pathways through most locations ensuring there’s opportunity for team tactics such as flanking, and plenty of opportunity to scout the environment with a drone to acquire Intel on enemy positions.

Tom Clancy shooters have always drawn in military enthusiasts, but after a five-year hiatus Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is facing a much different battlefield. The co-op campaign and competitive multiplayer offer adequate experiences, but the aged graphics, unrefined controls, and cliché-ridden campaign betray the Future Soldier premise and compromise the game’s ability to compete with more technologically refined shooters.

There’s a lot to like about Ghost Recon Future Soldier but, unfortunately, there’s just as much to dislike. If you don’t care about narrative, don’t need the latest and greatest game engine powering your HD shooters and can live with the confused juxtaposition of stealth and over-the-top action braggadocio then you’ll love it. If you want a tense, tight, stealthy experience then you’ll probably love around half of it and loathe when it robs you of that pleasure. The squad co-op elements are brilliant and the multiplayer is at least trying to be innovative but some terrible decisions throughout the campaign mode – particularly in the final mission – let this game down in a huge way.

Overall, Ghost Recon Future Soldier is a mixed bag. I found the multiplayer side of the game to be pretty fun, but the campaign was a chore to try and get through. Not because the difficulty was overly punishing, but more so because it was just downright boring. It certainly has some interesting ideas and mechanics, but it’s not enough to detract from the tepid gameplay. So, if you’re looking for a sound multiplayer shooter it’s not a bad way to go, but I’d avoid the mess of the campaign entirely.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier does what is expected. It does little else and rarely deviates from the concepts accepted as standard. There’s a sense of regret there with the opportunity to be something bigger, something more, but rather than expounding on the stylistic ambition, Future Soldier camouflages itself with borrowed ideas, blending seamlessly into a crowded genre.
