Review by IGN

“…Ghost Recon: Future Solider is a refreshing change from the current trend of thoughtless shooters, and in the moments when everything clicks together, it’s hard to think of a more absorbing shooter. Unfortunately it doesn’t always click though, and forgettable dialogue, poor facial animations and inconsistent visuals dent what is otherwise a great game, plus there’s no denying a little extra polish would’ve made a huge difference. But if you’re after a superbly paced, thoughtful shooter that boasts a strong campaign and enjoyable multiplayer, Future Soldier is bang on target.” 8.5/10

IGN RATINGS FOR TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON: FUTURE SOLDIER
8.5 Presentation
Clever tech and cool effects capture the near-future setting perfectly, but the dialogue is pretty forgettable.
8.5 Graphics
There are moments when Future Soldier looks drop dead gorgeous, but these are offset by clunky textures and some bland backgrounds.
8.5 Sound
The soundtrack is forgettable but effects – from the crack of gunfire to the all-consuming wall of sound when the Ghosts are in a sandstorm – enhance the overall experience.
9 Gameplay
The considered action and balanced pacing make Future Soldier a refreshing change, but it’s the subtle improvements – the tagging, cover-switch and UAV drone – that really bring the game to life.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
The campaign lasts around 10 hours but it’s definitely worth replaying in co-op, plus the multiplayer, while nothing that new, is enjoyable enough.
8.5 OVERALL Great
(out of 10, not an average)
