Today Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter has shipped to retail stores for Xbox 360. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is the next installment in the critically acclaimed, squad-based military shooter franchise, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. The game has an ESRB rating of "T" for Teen and an MSRP of $59.99.
"Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter will set a new benchmark for what is possible in graphic quality, content and intense multiplayer action," said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "Already, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is among the highest-rated games released on any next-generation platform and is being hailed as the killer app for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live. This is the game that Xbox 360 owners have been waiting for." "(Tom Clancy's) Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is not only the best tactical shooter I have ever played, it is one of the most immersive and exciting shooters ever." -- Game Informer Magazine, April 2006 "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter should prove to be Xbox Live's killer app on Xbox 360 for months to come..." -- Official Xbox Magazine, April 2006 "Warfighter is by far the best Ghost Recon game in the series and a hands-down must-buy shooter for the 360." -- Electronic Gaming Monthly, April 2006 About Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: The face of war has changed. Enemy lines blur and there is no longer a clear opponent. New enemies and new threats require a new type of warfare -- a new type of soldier. Enter the Ghosts. In 2013, the U.S. Army will implement the Integrated Warfighter System (IWS) evolving what we know as the modern soldier. IWS combines advanced weapon systems, satellite communication devices and enhanced survivability into one fully integrated combat system. The IWS program has been developed to meet these new threats head on. Now, it can be tested on the battlefield. Following an insurgence in the heart of Mexico City, the U.S. Army's most elite Special Forces team is deployed to the center of the conflict to regain control of the city. Greatly outnumbered but fully equipped with the IWS, this elite team is the first and last line of defense on the battlefield. They are the "quiet" professionals. They are the Ghosts. Key Features: -- Next-generation gaming technology: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is built from the ground up for next-generation consoles, taking full advantage of powerful technology with amazing textures, lighting and particle effects, multi-windowing, and state-of-the-art physics. Current generations will be built using top technology that pushes those systems to their limits. -- Become the soldier of the future: Gain access to the future of military technology. Using a fully integrated combat system with cutting-edge weapons and revolutionary communication systems (see below), gamers will embody the soldier of the future. Based on actual U.S. Army research, the Ghosts give gamers a realistic view of how war will be fought in the next decade. -- Revolutionary feature: Use the revolutionary Cross-Com, a communication device powered by satellite technology. Attached to the soldier's monocle, the Cross-Com provides full situational awareness and command of the battlefield. Command the Ghost squad and remote allied forces and drones, and direct artillery and air strikes. See what the squad sees and receive visual and auditory intelligence from allied forces and unmanned drones. -- Stunning urban environment: One city, multiple locations. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter takes place entirely in Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities. A stunning, meticulously detailed universe will provide complete immersion in the urban war of the future. -- Top-notch multiplayer experience: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter returns to deliver industry-leading multiplayer and cooperative gameplay for one of the hottest online franchises with a host of exciting new features. Ubisoft set the benchmark for online play with the launch of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon in 2001. Today, Ghost Recon has become one of the best experiences on Xbox and the Xbox Live online gaming service and has sold more than nine million units worldwide.

FamoAmo 03.07.2006 16:44 Glad to hear it shipped on time today! Got mine preordered and get it tomorrow. I will see all of you on LIVE!!! Hell yeah! So excited!! Ugly American 03.07.2006 16:51 I just went to Gamestop, because some goober said that he picked his up today. The shipment is in, but they will not be selling them until tomorrow. But it is just one day. Unregistered - The M.A.R.T. 03.07.2006 16:58 So no, it's for real. In The Netherlands, today everyone could get hold of a copy of GRAW if they came to the right shops. And one shop in a certain city sold the game -illegaly- before the release date yesterday. I've read so many stories about people gaming GRAW and with this link you can see people (from The Netherlands and other countries) are gaming GRAW right now! http://www.mygamercard.net/leaderboard.php?gt=&g=57&z=&c= Unregistered - BYE BYE SONY 03.07.2006 17:09 HA HA BYE BYE SONY.MICROSOFT IS GOING TO BE THE NUMBER #1 VIDEO GAME GIANT THIS GENERATION.MICROSOFT IS HAVING TONS OF KILLER APP GAMES COMING OUT FOR THE XBOX360.SONY IS IN DEEP TROUBLE.GEARS OF WAR,TOO HUMAN,HALO3,N3,SAINTS ROW,CRACK DOWN,AND SO ON. Unregistered - The M.A.R.T. 03.07.2006 17:17 It's not the question if, but when MS rules in a certain market, just check it: OS: Windows Browser: IE (Netscape was soooo big) Media Player: Windows Media Player is mostly used Messenger: ICQ was soooo big also, MSN chopped it into pieces Console? I know the outcome. Where our giant enters a market, it will be market leader. GRAW is certainly a system seller for the coming time. I bet Gears of War will even give it a higher boost. Get ready Sony, once there was Nintendo as nr. 1, then Sony got the 1st place, MS is next and will stay nr. 1 Unregistered - 1s1ksniper 03.07.2006 17:25 um guys if you go to gamestop or ebgames it will be in the 8 which is tomm... lol get your mind right.... Unregistered - crazy gamer 03.07.2006 17:27 perfect post #8 after MS comes out with all those games sony is going to be that ugly girl at the dance that nobody want's to dance with and take nintendo's place. FamoAmo 03.07.2006 17:48 I just called Game Crazy or whatever its calle b/c I preordered and they said I can pick it up tomorrow! Does anyone have the game already? Unregistered - rob 03.07.2006 18:01 http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/694/694274p1.html IGN has reviewed GRAW, they seem to like it.... Unregistered - twaynejohnson 03.07.2006 18:44 I HOPE IT DOESNT SUCK . Unregistered - WastingOne 03.07.2006 18:51 Well my boy at Gamestop told me that it will be in at the store around 11. IGN gave it a 9.2 Can you all believe that GRAW is going to have 16 online CO-OP!!!??? This is going to be the best X360 game since GOW...Oh that hasn't came out yet. See you all tomorrow in Mexico. Unregistered - mboy 03.07.2006 19:24 This game doesn't do a thing for me. Oblivion on the other hand, now thats a game.. Unregistered - yes 03.07.2006 20:17 wow i can't believe it, i was a huge ps3 fan. i got in stupid ass arguments saying ps3 was better. turns out sony takes a lot of stuff back and they're a fake. all i gotta say it hello 360 Unregistered - Next-Gen Fan 03.07.2006 21:34 I've been checking alot of websites (Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Eb games, etc...) and they all are selling the game on March 8. This is going to be one of the best games this year and when Elder Scrolls: Oblivion comes out, things are going to start looking good for the Xbox 360. Sony better get there stuff together otherwise Microsoft is going to own them ( And I mean OWN THEM!!!!) X-0 Unregistered - PSP360 03.07.2006 22:09 This game looks great. But I only have enough for one game, and thats Oblivion. So GRAW will have to wait. Unregistered - officerhardbody 03.07.2006 22:40 I used some rent money for this game so it better be a halo 2 killer. Unregistered - Is1ksniper 03.07.2006 23:24 Yea this game is worth getting kicked out your house just keep your tv and 360 and copy of GRAW lol.... I dont see nobody on live or anywhere else playing it cause they lieing you cant get that till tomm lol ite guys late Unregistered - iceman z 03.08.2006 01:02 i get mine from walmart they get them before anybody else because they are open 24 hrs a day. but i think people that pre order a game they should be able to pick it up before the sales date because they actually own the games the minute you put money down on them. when halo2 came out gamecrazy had the games on friday 4 days before the sale. Unregistered - stan uk 03.08.2006 04:40 this game is quality with out doubt the best game for the 360 so far, just a shame i cannot play it online yet as there is no one to play against, graphics, sound and gameplay is unbeleivable!! Unregistered - stan uk 03.08.2006 04:59 sorry wrong button there are loads of people on live, quality!! Unregistered - Darryl 03.08.2006 06:32 i will go pick this up today at 1130 i cant wait hoooo-raaaaahhhhhhhh! Unregistered - Stan UK 03.08.2006 06:38 Mexico is getting destroyed along with everything else, the weapons are wicked! Unregistered - Dave Blackpool 03.08.2006 07:25 I am a distributer for "Game", and we along with the likes of play and hmv and all the other large companies received shipment on monday, they cant be despatched until Tuesday After 4pm, so how exactly do u have one??? I am incharge of distributing for the 360 in the northwest and have been looking at over 2000 copies since monday and would love to grab one early but is more than my lifes worth so personally i think your lying!!! No company would ever ship that early in the UK because the ramifications would be huge! And what wrong button!? Unregistered - The M.A.R.T. 03.08.2006 07:57 It's nothing special in The Netherlands it was sold even yesterday in some shops and today for sure in the major shops Unregistered - dr greentumb 03.08.2006 08:09 its only obvious that some ppl will get it before the release date ,is it that hard to wait a few days hell we dont get it till the 10th so what will i do the answer is wait Unregistered - Blackpool Dave 03.08.2006 08:09 Yeah realise that think France is ment to be be same... Just over here they are really strict on release dates, new regulations are really stern... Was really no need for me to post my last post, i just hate people bull s****ng on here and if he's not then i'm just jealous!!! hoho Unregistered - ee 03.08.2006 08:38 I believe that Gameinformer magazine also gave it a good score of 9.5 overall! I don't understand how Sony fans can sit there and ignore what going on because if I were to see all these top notch games Id jump on board no which platform! And 360 has so many games steadily being announced so why are people still saying Sony is going to have more games or a better launch! Nobody knows anything and should face the fact that MS is changing the game while Nintendo and Sony are just giving us hype to stay in the li e light! Unregistered - The M.A.R.T. 03.08.2006 08:59 I can at least say to you all that are waiting, that in the Dutch 360 forums posts about GRAW are just about all that is posted!!! And they are all positive, people really are totaly blasted away by the graphics and the gameplay, singeplayer as well as multiplayer which is great No lags or other problems like COD2, it plays like a dream! This really will be a system seller and will pull lot of PS gamers to the 360 for sure... Get ready: this is next gen, shops in The Netherlands have a hard time to get enough copies from their distributor so they can sell. Many shops sell 'no' at the moment, simple because it's overwhelming request by gamers Unregistered - dr greentumb 03.08.2006 09:00 who the fúck dose this dave chap think he is , we know you dont work for game, your just trying to act like you do, cause if you did surely you'd have better things to do that post on here so dave your busted JsonHenry 03.08.2006 09:12 I wonder when Gamefly will be shipping this to me? I have had it on my list as number one for three months now. Unregistered - stan 03.08.2006 09:13 well said! Unregistered - Blackpool Dave 03.08.2006 12:22 Yo why the hostility, i simply made a point, and why would i make up that i am a distributor for game! Its hardly earning me millions or respect from game geeks world wide! I am a Distribution Manager for a medium size video game retailer! I earn less than a police man and my day is filled with dull transactions and stock monitoring and answering to 4 n0b head bosses! My point was that i thought Stanley was full of 5hit! I have first hand knowledge on game releases and am up on legislations! I did also make the point that if he has got the game i am incredibly jealous. Now dr greentumb get on with your home work then maybe afterwards u could whack one off to buffy! PS GRAW looks fantastic i hope it holds up! Unregistered - mutt 03.08.2006 18:03 It is out there, Tried to buy it Wednesday (today), and they were all sold out everywhere, before noon. I don't know what the release date was supposed to be but everyone in south Mississippi has it now, I had to buy Burnout Revenge instead, there were plenty of those. Unregistered - regun 03.08.2006 19:30 Bought GRAW this morning and I've been playing all day... truly next-gen stuff here. Top notch game. The graphics are amazing, as is the sound, gameplay, interface, etc. p.s. don't waste your time dling the Outfit demo Unregistered - bob johnson 03.08.2006 20:21 oh man! i cant wiat for this game. it is probably the game i have most anticipated for the 360(besides halo 3 that is). its gunna be awsome!! elrmelon 03.09.2006 07:48 Played it. Best game ever. graphically. online. single player. buy it. buy it. buy it. Unregistered - dr greentumb 03.09.2006 08:54 how bout i wack one of to your granmother dave, i still think your full of shít Unregistered - Blackpool Dave 03.09.2006 09:16 Thas cool with me don't much care, just wanted to get my point accross. And i did! Either way ya boring me now, lookin forward to this game! Unregistered - Jimbo 03.09.2006 11:35 Had to call 8 Gamestops before getting my copy, but it was worth it. Multiplayer is sick, I can't wait to get to Co-op today... Xtrm L1481L1TY 03.09.2006 12:10 Thank gawd there's no lag in multiplayer with 16 people. No lag! Woo Hooo. After about 5 hours of playing Graw on the single player campaign and 4 hours online I gave this a game an 8.3 at best. After letting it process in my mind through a nice night of sleep then playing it more, I must say this game is really starting to grow on me. I'm almost considering a 9.7. Talk about true next gen game design! Unregistered - xXSTRIDER86Xx 03.09.2006 12:54 Just played it online last night. There is no lag what so EVER in a 16 person room. They have finally fixed the problem. I just hope there aren't any glitches. Best 360 game as of right now hands down! Now I am going to be playnig this all the time, atleast until Battlefield 2 comes out. I think I might try it out just to see how it compares to this game. But I don't think it will be anything like this. AWSOME GAME! GO BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Xtrm L1481L1TY 03.09.2006 12:57 Yes I believe the 360 just had it's cherry popped by GRAW! Hahaha Add Comment |
