Well - I've played both on the PC and both are good games. Not awesome, but good. Jedi kinda sucks until you get a lightsaber and Ghost Recon is a really good Tom Clancy game. I've heard the Xbox ports are both very well done and pretty similar to the PC counterpart.

Nothing yet, but based on the PC version and what game developers said they put into the game during interviews, I'll be buying Ghost Recon regardless of reviewer feedback.

Now that Ghost Recon is out, who has it? Any opinions? Is it true you can only play two-players at the same time if you just have one XBox?

I played ghost recon for about 15 minutes last night...nothing too impressive. it seems like the type of game you really have to spend time on though. the game feels like it needed more work. lots of things were getting me and my friends annoyed with the interface. the point of view seems a little awkward. the reticle needs to be changed. the frame rates are sub 30fps sometimes.
the player models were amazing though. too bad graphics don't make a game.

With all of the drawbacks this is an awsome game. This is a tactical FPS. If you run and gun you will most likely die. If you move too fast you will most likely die. This is a game where you move slow, crawl on your belly through the mud, and take out enemies from a distance. You will sometimes have to run, and you will sometimes have close quarters combat. But most of the time you will slowly and methodically take out your enemies.
I played this on the PC, but I picked up the Xbox version and played for about two hours last night. I like that you have unlockable characters, maps and weapons. I like that your teammates (AI) gain experience as you progress through the campaign. I enjoy the one shot one kill gameplay (even though it might take a couple of shots to put down an enemy). It's very tense and exciting.
I can't wait to have a LAN party (I might not get Xbox Live right away). I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes tactical FPS.
