Ghost Recon Future Soldier Review (PlayStation 3)
The latest in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon series is upon us. Boasting better gameplay and a graphical update from Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 I couldn’t wait to fire this bad boy up! Let’s take Ghost Recon Future Soldier through its paces with our Ghost Recon Future Soldier Review.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier Review Pros:
- Really good-looking graphics.
- Platinum trophy.
- Improved graphics making it play out like a proper blockbuster movie.
- Controls have been tweaked to enable better cover-to-cover control among many others.
- The campaign is now a full online 4 player affair.
- They have kept the non-essential side missions intact for the main campaign.
- Online matchmaking is a lot more straightforward and efficiently de-cluttered of unnecessary menus.
- A new sync shot ability that allows you to mark and kill a group of enemies in one strike.
- More loadout choices in the campaign over the previous titles.
- Guerilla mode is their take on Gears Of Wars Horde mode.
- Full clan support with clan matches and clan EXP added for extra rewards.
- Very atmospheric and you feel part of a team this time around.
- Huge campaign boasting over 10 hours gameplay with multiple areas to explore and conquer.
- Levels are well done ranging from snow, nighttime raids to rain-soaked jungles to derelict towns.
- Has full 3D support if your into that sort of thing because who doesn’t want full 3D.
- When you get downed in a campaign it’s not an instant game over, Instead, it gives the AI a chance to heal you and keep you in the fight.
- There are many good online game modes like Conflict which is like the mode in Killzone where it has a rolling objective, Changing every time you complete one.
- Mobile app allows you to customize your weapons on the go and sync it to your console.
- To score high online you don’t necessarily have to be an all-out killing machine Because you can be an engineer and use sensors to show enemy locations and get assist points.
- The gunsmith option allows you to customize every aspect of your gun, I mean you can even choose how the trigger works and what side barrel you want. Endless possibilities.
Ghost Recon Future Soldier Review Cons:
- Boasts PlayStation Move support but it is VERY limited, It’s only for the gunsmith section and is used to show off the gun in more detail.
- Online still needs work because the host migration is slow and can kick you back to spawn.
- Disconnection error causes you to lose all earned kills and EXP.
- The campaign has a few no alerts/kills sections which can slow the game pace down because you are used to just running and gunning.
- Inconsistent checkpointing.
- No 16 player online co-op missions like in GRAW2.
- The UI is very basic-looking and feels kind of lazy and makes simple tasks difficult because it doesn’t all flow together.
- Snipers being able to go invisible is a real pain because it takes a lot of effort to counter them.
- Balancing in matchmaking is non-existent and getting destroyed by high-level players is a normal part of the game it seems, and this can really put off new players.
- Ranking up can take a long time because if you’re not on the winning team or pulling your weight the rewards are minimal.
- Unlocking new weapons takes an age because of the stingy rewards.
