Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars for Nintendo 3DS Reviews by Gamers

My personal opinion at first glance when I seen this previewed at GameStop, I didn't really like it. Once I got my hands on a copy, I fell in love with the game. It is the best turn-based strategy I have played on something other than PC (except for Halo Wars, but that was made to be played on 360 only) The graphics were superb for a 3DS game. I have never seen something like these games from a handheld like this. I am surprised that Nintendo could pull it off and live up to the hype. The gameplay is a regular Turn-Based Strategy, with some story elements thrown in (which I didn't pay attention to) There is a bonus Multiplayer mode where you pass the 3DS back and forth with each turn. I wish there were some kind of online, which is the only flaw with this game. The fact is that it could of pulled it off, because the wireless play has been put into perfection, shown in Super Street Fighter IV, but I digress. If you like Turn-Based games, or a 3DS owner, this game is worth buying or at least trying if you are not sure (like I was at first.) The game teaches you how to play fairly quickly (which isn't hard to remember due to the fact that this game has easy controls.) The main buttons are A, B, and the Right trigger. The touch screen is used for the map and status screen for friendlies/enemies. Overall... A very perfect (barely short due to no Infrastructure play.) game with lots to do. I started off on Elite for all of the levels, and it helped me get really acquainted with the selection of characters you have at your disposal, with each level gaining a new unit and have more troops to order for each turn. As you play through the story missions, you will gain skill points that you can put into the skills and health of key Ghost members, and eventually get a better weapon or better support device (love the healing gun for the medic, reminds me of Killzone with reviving teammates :D)
