Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 4: Future Soldier

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the eagerly awaited fourth installment in the legendary Ghost Recon series, an incredibly action packed third person shooter saga, brought to you by Ubisoft. This series has always specialised in providing stunning visuals, blood pumping action, and the most high tech weaponry and artillery known to man, often based on real-life prototypes for the military or researched by DARPA.

The story is set in the near future, with Russia in the throes of a civil war and the President being held captive by Russian nationalists. You are part of an elite team assigned to stop them; you are a Ghost soldier, the best of the best. Your group is part of Specialised Tactics, a Special Mission Unit under the direction of the Joint Special Operations Command, and the cream of the US Special Forces crop.

A new and specialised wide range of artillery and suits are available within this game, with the option of wearing the highly coveted thermoptic camouflage suit, which allows an even higher degree of stealth. Another incredibly developed suit featured in this new chapter of Ghost Recon is the exoskeleton, otherwise known as the exo-tech suit. This improves both mobility and physicality, and allows you to carry twice as much at half the weight. The exo-tech suit also enables plenty of features that will enhance your game experience, for example the link up system, which allows you to link up or split off from your unit at any time. This system combines and shares the specialised class abilities that the other people in your unit possess, meaning you can use the sniper's heartbeat detector, the engineer's drone system, the recon's optical camouflage, and more. Whilst linked up, your unit moves and acts as one, delivering the most clean and precise kills.

With an exceptional combination of stealth, situation analysis, close quarters combat, and a wide range of weapons (from classic AK-47s to more upgraded artillery such as SCAR-Ls), Future Soldier offers everything a specially trained Ghost operative and gamer could ask for. (Cat Emerson)
