Summary

Developer Red Storm, now an established and respected name in the industry and part of the ever-expanding Ubi Soft empire, is most famous for its Tom Clancy games, namely Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. On this occasion we take a look at the Xbox version of Ghost Recon: Island Thunder.

A comprehensive expansion pack of sorts, Island Thunder takes gamers further into the Tom Clancy world, taking the tour of duty to Cuba. The year is 2009, Castro is dead, and the first free elections in decades are thrown into turmoil by a drug-funded warlord. The Ghosts, an elite team of US Army Green Berets (that's you and your squad), are sent in as part of a UN peacekeeping force to destroy the rebel forces and their mercenary leaders and secure the elections for a free Cuba.

This update offers eight new single-player missions, set in an all-new campaign on the island of Cuba. Never ones to disappoint the multi-player community, the developers have also included five new dedicated multi-player maps, all playable via Xbox Live , as well as 12 new multi-player weapons, including the M4 SOCOM rifle and the MM-1 automatic grenade launcher. There's also a few new enemy and allied vehicles, and insertions by helicopter. There’s also plenty of downloadable content through Xbox Live.

In a nutshell, that's it. What more can be said? Another fine addition to the Tom Clancy series? Absolutely.
