Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is a tactical shooter video game developed by Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft subsidiary, and published by Ubisoft in 2001 for Microsoft Windows. It was ported to Mac OS, PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2002 and to the GameCube in 2003. Ports for N-Gage and Game Boy Advance were planned, but later canceled.
Together with Rainbow Six, game industry experts generally credit Ghost Recon with defining and refining the tactical shooter genre.
Unlike Clancy's other tactical shooter series, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon is not based on any of his books.
Ghost Recon's success has spawned 2 expansion packs, Desert Siege and Island Thunder, as well as numerous sequels for video game consoles and the PC. |
