  The last installment for the original Ghost Recon game, this expansion is the pinacle of the game. The AI is even more responsive and their movement makes for many surprises throughout probably making this the toughest the game gets, which is already at a do-or-die. The jungle settings are also quite interesting and allow for lots of cover for both your squads but also for the enemy. As always, approaching the targets is important in itself as it will probably alter the way you play out the rest of the mission. This is perhaps the pinacle of not only the game Ghost Recon series but also as a tactical FPS genre. A missed shot here or there will probably cost you a soldier or two so be wary. This expansion should be in every library.

  Really fun back in the day. Now it looks really bad due to the bad graphics, but still a good game, brings back good memories.

  I played ghost recon and thought this would be cool and it was. I love the new levels and especialy the trees and other plants.

  Ghost Recon Island Thunder is the second and last expansion pack for Ghost Recon. This one was released in 2002, in same year as the first pack. It still feels like yet another mission pack, not adding much. 8 more missions, more weapons, more multiplayer stuff. It also came out on Xbox. And there was some edition of Ghost Recon with content of this pack for PS2 as well. Well, seeing that multiplayer isn't a living thing, I don't think that you will care about whatever multiplayer new things, leaving us with single-player content. As for new game mechanics, well, I guess it retains unblowable enemy jeeps from Desert Siege. And that's about it. And I guess that new specialist that has grenade launcher as primary weapon, which teammate AI never bothers to use. Oh, and stationary grenade launchers that are placed in some levels, for usage by enemies. They just never place it to be useful for player, despite letting him use them. It's not like you will count intro cutscenes of each mission where they come in helicopter or a boat as a new mechanic. As for 8 more missions, then eh, at this point it's more of same. Not as fun as Desert Siege, it mostly has more of missions in style that annoyed me in original Ghost Recon. Like, having to know that there is enemy who is hard to see and can shoot you down accurately somewhere at the edge of fog. It's a bit harder, with tree covers and such. Still quicksaving like no tommorow. Plus it also got 5 more maps for Custom Missions, quite interesting ones. Actually, they put a new mode there, Defend, where you must "defend the base". I think that previous expansion pack had it, but it was multiplayer-only deal. Well, it's not amazing. But still good. Well, no, still fine. Even meh.

  This "Island Thunder" expansion is more to my liking than "Desert Siege". The lush thick foliage, heavy fog, and higher enemy density make it more visually appealing and challenging. Convoy escort missions have been excluded.

  This game is awesome. It took me 3.5h to complete the whole game. I will do some pros and cons for the game PROS -The game graphics are pretty decent comparing the game to other games from '02 -The mechanics of the game are awesome. It's not like shoot them up, you have to think of your own startegy to pass the Mission -This game is one of the more realistic games, when they shoot you 1 time, you'll probably die -In this game it is required to commander 1 or 2 teams(depends on how many teams you will take), and you can send your troops across the map with your orders because they will not move if you don't tell them to move -Max number of teams is 3(including your own team), so the game is not that hard to play -No bugs or crashes at all -The game is forgotten but it doesn't need any updates or patches -You can make a perfect teams of Ghosts waiting for your command -The game is 8 Missions long. Too short if you ask me but that doesn't bother me at all -Community isn't dead but there aren't many players that patrol through the Community Hub -Models for the game are ok, they have made some new ones and they added some new weapons to the arsenal -Enemies now drive other vehicles besides tanks and SAMs -They have added some Mission opening cinematics CONS -Multiplayer is dead, ubi.com isn't working for the game. Only GameRanger supports Multiplayer now, and I have found only 1 server online -You can't jump in the game -Enemy's A.I. is improved to the point where they scope you with AK-47 from the distance you even can't see them and your Ghost's A.I. is the same I recommend it. 8/10 would save Cuba with Ghosts again!

  I wanted to like Island Thunder; I really enjoyed the original game and Desert Siege, and this second expansion pack's missions feature some great maps, environments and atmosphere. But the increased difficulty throughout is infuriating, even on the Recruit (Easy) setting and even in the expansion's early missions. Ghost Recon's always had unnaturally accurate AI--but it was forgivable in the original and the first expansion because the difficulty was balanced. It was challenging, but not frustrating. This time, however, the AI will see you from miles away, take you out in one shot with an automatic weapon from miles away, and will swarm towards you from all directions or camp in alcoves and take you down the instant you present your hitbox. The enemies, which are supposedly some sort of amateur Cuban rebels, are in fact basically more aware, more accurate and better trained than a squad of Ghosts. It just feels like some sort of broken, halfhearted attempt to increase the length of the game, but instead damages what was once enjoyable gameplay, and will piss you right off when you find yourself restarting a mission for the tenth time.

  Recommended for those who have the base game: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. It is "more of the same", but in a good way. This is the better of the two DLCs (compared to Desert Siege).

  Just like the desert siege expansion, this game is more of a good thing: another 8-mission campaign for Ghost Recon. The gameplay holds up, the graphics do not but oh well. And it's the American imperialist dream of socking it to Cubans and drug lords, if you're into that sort of thing.
