Tom Clancy�s Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm
- October 17, 2003 00:00 AM PST
Finally, the Ghosts can now operate online in the PlayStation 2 realm.
Ubi Soft�s premier Special Forces team, the Ghosts, has had an active and popular online mission setup on the PC and Xbox, but not on the PS2�until now. In November, Jungle Storm will move beyond the single-player objectives and wire up wannabe soldiers for frenzied multiplayer fun. A whopping 31 maps and three new multiplayer modes join the usual deathmatch and co-op options for an already impressive debrief of what you can expect. There will also be stat tracking, ladder ranking, and voice chat capabilities.Don�t worry if you just want to be alone with the Ghosts for a bit, too. Eight Cuba missions from Island Thunder plus eight new exclusive PS2 stages that take place in Colombia will be included in the single-player mode. The controls were streamlined in an early version, and you could order your team with 160 voice commands using a headset. Even without using your own babble, directing the troops was a breeze. Taking note from the GameCube Ghost Recon, you could easily move your team to points directly in front of you with just a press of a button, effectively removing the hassle of going to your map first. With a solid lineup of features, Jungle Storm is a special operation to watch, especially when it will be released at around the same time as Sony�s SOCOM II.
