Classic Game Room - GHOST RECON: SHADOW WARS for 3DS review

[chuckyn100]

Splinter cell is much much better then this shit!

[apoxalex]

FALLOUT TACTICS! FALLOUT TACTICS! FALLOUT TACTICS!

[playtube2000]

I thought This was a Pokemon Type Game more....Thats why I diden`t buy splinter cell..

[PerfectBlade20]

This game is really good, I want call of duty to be strategy based but all the noob 12 year olds would cry that it is too hard for them because they would actually have to use their brain for once, which is 90 percent of the audience of call of duty now

[DjStiv3]

this is out of the blue butwhat about a call of duty for 3ds? sheesh black ops can be played in 3d,, make a dumbed down version and re release it ,, since its on 3ds it wont b shitty like ds games

[donotresussitate]

The mother of all turn-based strategies: Fire Emblem

[masedertu]

Go to: goo.gl\oUcPQ and get your own FREE Nintendo 3DS.

[Dualshotlocks]

Preordered IT! HEYAH!

[jpnhamantashen]

I lost the game because of the end...

[FFFan3445]

Thanks for the review, guys, I was going to buy this game but decided to just stick with Advance Wars titles if I ever want my strategy fix.

I still have nothing to do on my 3DS. :<<<

[DEDE19d]

do u really lik to have all the game consoles? but to me it seem lik u got all the game that world could make

[HackerHandBook]

dony you love it when developers dont take full advantage of the consoles graphical capabilities. yeah me either.

[jorge12282]

i hope i get the 3ds in my bday :(. my older brother threw my ds lite at the stairs to my sisters room and his cuz he was pissed off at my lil brother what funny tho is that my sister bought a gba game for my ds andit was on the day it broke

[BerryJoy]

I got this game free with my 3DS and its made me want to look into other tactics game.

I thought it was really good (outside of a couple of cheap skirmish missions) and its good to hear that its considered average by fans of this genre.

[jimmyelgringito]

@BerryJoy Well, if you like this, try out advanced wars for the regular DS. You could probably get it for around 15 bucks now a days.

[BerryJoy]

@jimmyelgringito cool. will do

[jimmyelgringito]

@BerryJoy There is also another famous series called Fire Emblem, but i recommend you play that after advanced wars. If you get really into tactics games, then try out final fantasy tactics which combines final fantasy with a tactics game.

[ninjaone1]

@jimmyelgringito fun fact, you can get this game from toys R us for $15 right now, check it out

[jimmyelgringito]

@ninjaone1 Really? so they are lowering the price of crappy games? Awesome :D

[ninjaone1]

@jimmyelgringito wouldent call it crappy, I'm having a good time with it

[jimmyelgringito]

@ninjaone1 That's not what i meant. :/ I meant that they lowered the price of games that aren't worth the $40 bucks

[ninjaone1]

@jimmyelgringito OH! for sure. its not worth $40 for sure. and neither is the new resident even game that just came out. hell its worth less than this is, AND it dosent have a reset feature

[jimmyelgringito]

@ninjaone1 I actually just bought that game a few hours ago...I think it's pretty decent...BUT THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER SPENT $40 BUCK ON IS CUBIC NINJA! D:

[ninjaone1]

@jimmyelgringito but you paid $40 for a minigame that you cant even resell

[jimmyelgringito]

@ninjaone1 I found that out after i paid for it. Anyways, the whole save thing, is blown way out of proportion. The game is decent and it's a good game for 3DS owners waiting for Revelations.

[ninjaone1]

@jimmyelgringito but is it even worth $40?

[jimmyelgringito]

@ninjaone1 I would say it's worth $30. It has some really nice graphics and the gameplay is great. But, the game is a little short. It's a great on-the-go game especially for fans of RE. The game also has a demo for Revelations which is a REAL resident evil game. That alone would justify renting the game. :)

[mctaylor24]

I thought it was...okay. Like you said, there's a lot of better games in that genre, and for me the graphics were pretty disappointing for the hardware of a 3DS, and considering it was a launch title.

[camper4dk]

This game is made by "Ubisift" ? Check description

[bierbuik]

@camper4dk No, it's by Ubisoft.

[Ishnaarg]

Hmmmm... I think i might get this game

[hollow088]

oh my god...if they could fit command and conquer zero hour in 3ds...that would be the best game ever

[GamerUnleashed]

I changed everybody's voice to Mr T's...in my mind.

[Cacmypants]

the joke at the end made me lolirl XD

[MrZerox123]

Looks horrible. I wouldnt want this crap on my 3ds. I want a port of Vandal hearts 1 redone on 3ds id pay up to $200 for a 3d vandal hearts on 3ds haha

[Ellio123]

The art style looks a lot like GTA: Chinatown Wars.

The 3DS can do better than that!

[MrZerox123]

@Ellio123 It was made for the ds but since okami made the last release spot they decided to move it the 3ds. It sucks because on the ds this game would have been more acceptable. I think the enemies look stupid

[Choppr777]

im livin 20 years on this earth now. and i havent seen a single "good" ghost recon game. all shitty. just like 90% of games with "tom clancy" on it

[SonnyJWright]

@Choppr777 You never played the original Ghost Recon?

[Godslayer1992]

@Choppr777 totaly agree tom clancy games suck ass rainbow six, vegas, splinter cell, all are peace of shit, they are popular only cuz tom clancy started to create games wery long time and becose he got wery good comercial specialist, but the games itself suck ass...

[Churchx77]

Splinter Cell has started sucking since Double Agent. The first 3 are very good. As for Vegas, the games are actually very underrated. I am currently playing it again on realistic difficulty both on solo and coop and Im having a ball.

[MatthewXx843xX]

so im considering this game or rabbids travel in time 3d for my launch titles...i already have SSIV, rayman and ridge racer...been cravin some mario since i got the 3ds but idk, this looks good too...wish it had multiplayer...

anyway....friend code is 2019-9695-1590 i need to add some more people on this 3ds

[monkeypoo765]

@MatthewXx843xX added you :D

[StopFear]

This game is great and very unique because ,finally, for once it's not anime based

[pyrox52]

you forgot disgaea

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

I want to see a turn based End war game on the 3DS.

[Airking11]

lazy ass developers.....it looks like they were gonna make it for the crappy ds but now they ported it to the awesome 3ds, they are making the 3ds look bad....it's bad enough that there are 3 nintendog games at launch

[DevilishMew]

@Airking11

lol @ calling the ds crappy and 3ds awesome. I'm stll waiting for actual games to come out for 3DS.

[grecomafioso]

Is it just me or do I see iPhone style games all the time on the 3DS? Is that all Nintendo? Where are your supertitles like Mario3DS, Super Smash Bros 3DS and so on?

I'll stick with the NGP - Uncharted, Killzone and Resistance are the real experience games out of many!

[monkeypoo765]

@grecomafioso $800 and £400 lol

[nintendowiids12]

Hm, that thumbnail reminds me of Half Life...

[Crazyshot45]

@nintendowiids12 only reason i clicked lol

[gamer1412]

@nintendowiids12 I though of killzone.....

[transformersloverjon]

@nintendowiids12 somewhat

[Emirblade]

Ha, chocobo rain.

[Trusteft]

If you want a magician there, you need to try SpellCross for the PC.

[AudioCorps]

i love rpgs with numbers so i'm pretty much getting SMT:Overclocked instead of LoZ on release.

[12B4Uthekid]

for those who are mad at the graphics, need to know that would you buy a game because it has good graphics, or would you buy a game to have fun?

[Gustavo3451]

1:50 Isn't that "damage" sound from DooM 3?

[ArmoredZimpa]

the graphic is so GOOD our eyes can't handle it!!!

[ZeroDragon]

The best games ever in this genre for me are Soul Nomad and Namco X Capcom for the PS2.

Damn I love those two games.

[Yanoss1313]

what about advance wars!?!?! mark! you disappoint me!... but i still love you. :P

[Craptron2000]

'turn based strategy game'. meh read a book instead!

[Skiddywas21]

wow, this game is like metal gear acid without the card based strategy, i might just buy a 3ds for this game or if they make a sequel to mga2 for this handheld

[lucamibel]

Actually looks nice...the graphics reminds me killzone liberation....anyone knows similar to killzone i mean the same camera angle..

[DBZisthebestanimever]

graphics make a game. Because game developers that put effort into graphics don't let it go to waste with bad gameplay. However game developers that focuse on gameplay and not graphics need to die.

[BouncekDeLemos]

@DBZisthebestanimever Graphics don't entirely make the game, I've seen some awesome looking games that play like crap. I've also played crappy looking games that are fun. XD My faves are the best of both worlds~like the right balance between the two. But that's just my opinion.

[thebroomcupboard]

@risingfall I wouldn't judge him on 3ds review. For some unknown reason the 3ds doesn't give him a boner unlike nearly everything else he plays. It's probably not 'classic' enough for him yet.

[risingfall]

i used to love classic game room until i got tired of his ultra superficial-vauge and uneducated reviews got old fast. dont get me wrong... he is very entertaining. but nothing else is further then that. there is not any fan service at all for hardcore gamers. this is more appealing to a casual gamer. he pumps out at LEAST 1 video a day. wow haha

[xxxJamiroguyxxx]

@risingfall I think if his style doesn't appeal to you.

You should sub to AVGN and go away.

[PioloAskal2009]

@risingfall Maybe it's because of the 3ds games. The games are so boring that anyone who reviews it gets boring. I think Mark reviewing a wall is more entertaining than a 3ds game. Or maybe just because there's still no flamethrower in any 3ds game.

[josef733]

@PioloAskal2009 u dont even have a 3ds so shut up

[PioloAskal2009]

@josef733 I hear a fanboy.

[josef733]

@PioloAskal2009 but you shoudn't be judging things whenyou havent even played them.

thats the moral here

[PioloAskal2009]

@josef733 I have a 3ds actually, wanted it because of Metal Gear. Since, there are no actual good games yet, it still sucks.

[josef733]

@PioloAskal2009 oh ok i get ur point.

im not going to argue with you anymore

[josef733]

true the games out now are half decent exept for ssf4

[risingfall]

@PioloAskal2009 no its because all of his videos are very tasteless reviews. you can't possible have an educated opinion on anything if you pump out videos once a day. and if you don't believe me look at his play list. this guy is an entertainer not a reviewer. if you want a real review go to hcbailey or happy console gamer, they actually beat the game they review. vs mark who does this as a full time job

[Stormfail]

@risingfall Mark does beat his games....And his reviews have all pointed people to good games, which is what matters.

[PioloAskal2009]

@risingfall Who said I wanted a real review???? I just enjoy his videos and don't care what he reviews.

[cookieunderthebed]

@risingfall we jus watch 4 fun

[risingfall]

@cookieunderthebed like i just mentioned. i think he is an entertaining guy. but i wish his videos weren't 75% dry humor, and tell me more about what he is reviewing

[cookieunderthebed]

@risingfall then why say it in the first place

[risingfall]

@cookieunderthebed im expressing my opinion. we're allowed to do that, right?

[FantasyDragon]

I'm not saying anything about the game itself, or that it's bad because of this, but it really looks like a DS game, not a 3DS one.

[smd242]

I'll stick with X-Com Ufo Defense.

[metroid51733]

FIRE EMBLEM NOSTALGIA

[EDDIEinWAR]

thumbnail=Half Life 2

[theVictorLippi]

EPIC Voice!

[TylerJaden24]

lol anyone whos a grafix whore is pathetic. i really feel sorry for new gamers. theyll never understand what makes a great game. not even the most amazing graphics in the most amazing game will ever compare to the old school classics. and now for a cliche phrase: grafix dont make the game

[ultimatebman]

@TylerJaden24 hey, I am only 15, and thus not around for very long before all the major high def consoles, yet I prefer snes games.

[TylerJaden24]

@ultimatebman good for you. whats your point?

[RaShadowYT]

you should try Front Mission 5 for ps2 (tho you cant pay for it, you have to get a converted free copy somewhere in english, otherwise is japanese only)

[harmfulifconsumed]

this was originally a DS game, so no shit the graphics aren't perfect. But who the fuck cares you 7 year olds that just started gaming with the Xbox 360 and PS3.

[EyeS2pify]

@harmfulifconsumed Graphics always count when reviewing a game whether you like it or not. And people aren't complaining about the graphics anyway. It's the the gameplay that looks slow and boring. Mark himself said there are much better tactical RPG's to check out.

[freidenfelt81]

this game is awesome. Bought it day one and Its better then both ridge racer and Street fighter (the only games worth owning which I also bought) give it a shot people. God I hate when it all comes down to "oooooooohhhh pretty" it aint shit without a good game.

[why0isnt0this0workin]

"scarey...future!" Best story ever!

[2sonfon]

Lol chocobo

[evildwarf]

I didn't know they were still making Genesis games.

[RhansleyWii]

I'll wait for Fire Emblem or Advance Wars on 3DS.

[nintendoraikiri]

@RhansleyWii THAT would be awesome

[Lannnyto]

@RhansleyWii Dude, that's devotion...you'd wait 3 years?!

[infringementMAN]

@RhansleyWii I'll throw in SRW as well.

[MrGojiralee]

@RhansleyWii YES. VERY MUCH YES. THIS MUST HAPPEN.

[mymovienerd]

I'm not going to start complaining about the graphics BUT....... for what Nintendo expects you to pay for the 3DS, I have yet to see even one game that makes the purchase seem worthwhile.

[gtamikesvideos]

looks really bad

[RenegadeFury]

This is a SNES game amirite

[SupersonicMudkip]

mark you forgot disgaea :O

[UndercoverCracker]

SHITTY. 

[Kingthug25]

looks like an awsome ipod game,other then that its kinda meh to me

[loltalker667]

Nintendo will always hit it big with the kiddies. So in sales, Nintendo will always win in that category.

[dragonbrad98]

ill buy the 3ds when metal gear solid 3d is released

[TheOldschool81]

tactical RPG?? This is kind of games is called " turn based strategy." How can you even review this without mentioning X-com or even Silent Storm? I really do pitty console fools like you.

[alexneszmer]

@TheOldschool81 wa chew talkin bout pang??????????

[AgrivatedKillah]

@TheOldschool81 mark isn't a console fool...go ead

[Smashbro2013]

Don't forget about Shining force 1 and 2 on the SEGA genesis.

It's also in the xbox 360 and ps3 ultimate sega collection and downloadable on the wii.

[blueguy81]

wow these graphics are so bad lol

[DustinThePooper]

Seems to have a lot of cutscenes and dialogue for a strategy game.

[GiantMoth]

No mention of Disgaea?

[subject153]

Ok nice review but this game really did not have to be on 3ds who else agrees?

[xTHExFALLx]

@subject153

Does any game HAVE to be on the 3DS or in 3D? ;D

[subject153]

@xTHExFALLx No game has to be in 3d which pretty much means taht the whole points of the 3ds is null and void

[subject153]

@xTHExFALLx Well no game has to be in 3d so that makes the whole point of the 3ds null and void.

[xTHExFALLx]

@subject153

But the 3D sure as hell helps the experience. :D The 3DS hatin' on a 3DS game review leads me to believe you have to wait a few months to get one, hopefully when you do you'll find some games that you feel make good use of the 3D.

[subject153]

@xTHExFALLx Yeah thats what Im planning so heres hoping they do not really mess up on game choices! XD

[DeadOmega]

@subject153 Any game on the 3DS doesn't "need" to be on the console. What the hell does this question even mean or imply?

[Amaranthus616]

@subject153 no game technically has to be on the system...its just a gimmick. anything can and will go on it

[Elliot1Rulz]

@subject153 Neither does most of the games announced

[YujiNanaya]

This reminds me of Metal Gear Acid.

Still, good game.

[otakughost]

Yo bro, have you ever played a Disgaea game? A lot of people consider the Disgaea games to be the superior among strategy rpgs. Try to get yourself Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for the PS2 if you haven't. I'd love to see your take on it.

[moronicron]

and fire emblem

[kiaelinkx]

Mark stop reviewing crappy 3ds games, it just puts useless shame on a fantastic console ._.

[ChairmanDrekXXA]

@kiaelinkx

There are only like 2 good and worthwhile games out for the thing right now, so of course he's going to review some crappy ones.

[kiaelinkx]

@ChairmanDrekXXA lol tbh that's goes bout personal tastes, there're ppl enjoying ridge racer here in italy, other nintendogs, and many are fine even with pilotwings. so it's objective what is good and what is crap. still theres ppl judging the console just by the crappy one, and we both know the console is a jem.

[d1664256]

Is Tom Clancy even alive anymore, or is the name a trademark owned by EA or something?

[bobsinpe50]

@d1664256 Tom Clancy is died cuz he made 2 games before he died ea took over

[joaovictor1994]

Dude what the fuck? If the title didn't say "3DS" I would assume it's a NDS game o.o

I'm not only talking about graphics. I mean really, no voices? This is 2011 and you still have to read texts instead of hearing character voices? Okay I know some games would lose their charm if they had voice actors, but this is Ghost fucking Recon, are you serious? Come on...

[WuschelofDespair]

I love TBS, but im not into this setting, was excited about this review for how the use the 3DS. cause the 3DS is kinda bad for this genre. either u have it in 3D but without touch cointrols, or touch controls (which r perfect for that genre) but no 3D. it seems that they didnt use touch controls in this game, which sucks.

still a decent game I guess

[TheDutchGame]

Those graphic whores haven't got enough sunlight.

[j00708]

Reminiscent of X-Com because of houses and street fights.

[BladeNinja009]

Yes devil survivor reference dude awesome.

[WeirdFuzzyThing]

BUT MARK! you forgot all of the Advance War games, they are probably better as well.

[WuschelofDespair]

@WeirdFuzzyThing

oh yes,they r just fucking awesome, one of the best games I ever played

[Rider0fLightning]

I WANT THAT MINI-GUN!!!

[daniakarick]

I don't see the point in fighting over peices of hardware, you people nag as if they're some sort of cult. C'mon man, grow up. They're both gonna end up being great systems, despite graphics.

[MegaMonkeyExtreme]

Why did that Osprey sound like a Spitfire?!

[BurningArmyman]

looks like this was supposed to be a ds game but was delayed so it would come out on the 3ds, wich is ok i guess, it just doesn't show the 3ds potential

[zaccds]

I see the graphic whores are here to bitch. It's a great game and that's all that counts.

[EyeS2pify]

@zaccds Graphics always count when reviewing a game whether you like it or not. And people aren't complaining about the graphics anyway. It's the the gameplay that looks slow and boring. Mark himself said there are much better tactical RPG's to check out.

[zaccds]

I'm just saying people are judging it solely based on the graphics. That's what a graphic whore is. This game looks and plays much better in person by the way.

[flyeagles24]

does that make you a graphic whore whore?

[zaccds]

I could not care less about graphics so no

[KurosanNitebird]

"What are they armed with?"

"Well... A couple snipers, RPGs, and some dude in a robe with a giant staff."

"Really?! What's he doing?"

"Well, apparently he's lighting Charlie on fire right now. Why don't we run away?"

[frigginjoe]

If the best portable graphics are what you want, you don't buy a Nintendo handheld. It's been this way since... well, Gameboy.

3DS is an awesome system. As was the DS, GBA, and GB, regardless of there being handhelds with more power. PSP is also an awesome platform.

One doesn't have to suck for the other to be good.

[Iba350EX]

Just remember that this was originally supposed to be an original DS game before you go on about the graphics....original 3DS games look amazing.

[chrisrulz333]

does the 3ds have good graphics?

[kayslaay]

@chrisrulz333 duhh of course it does.

[rustapuppy300]

@chrisrulz333 ...HELL YES!!

[rossclark69]

@chrisrulz333 yes it does this game just doesn't use the hardware to the limit. Check out Super Street Fighter 4 3D great graphics and game play

[chrisrulz333]

@rossclark69 cool i thimk i might get it

[fxgamer0809]

the 3ds can do a better job with the graphics, you just have to wait good games to come

[Dyrui13]

this reminds me of metal gear acid for psp

[ActionCarl]

Bullshit, this is way better than Tactics Ogre.

[twistedfarker]

While I don't have a 3DS yet from all the videos I've seen the graphics don't look much better than on the DS, sometimes they look worse than on a regular psp. Not that it really matters if there are good games on the system but I'm not in any hurry to buy one for a while.

[XoriginalXBOXguidesX]

@twistedfarker iphones have more power than a 3DS so don't be surprised about graphics

[rossclark69]

@XoriginalXBOXguidesX Vertex Performance (Triangles per Second) • Nintendo 3DS: 30.6 million • Nintendo DS: 120,000 • PSP: 33 million • iPhone 3GS: 28 million Fillrate (Pixels per second) • Nintendo 3DS: 1.6 billion • Nintendo DS: 30 million • PSP: 664 million • iPhone 3GS: 500 million 3DS is actually slightly more powerful than the iphone sorry you are wrong!!!

[XoriginalXBOXguidesX]

@rossclark69 good job copy pasting the first google link you found. They can't even run Unreal engine on a 3DS.
