Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Desert Siege™ Reviews

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Desert Siege™ is a focused and challenging expansion that builds upon the solid tactical foundations of the original Ghost Recon game. Set against the backdrop of a Middle Eastern conflict, Desert Siege delivers intense squad-based combat with a strong emphasis on strategy, coordination, and realism. The missions are well-crafted and require careful planning and execution. Players must effectively utilize cover, reconnaissance, and coordinated assaults to overcome heavily fortified enemy positions. The addition of new weapons and vehicles enhances tactical options and adds variety to the combat scenarios. Graphically, the desert environments are convincingly rendered, with sand dunes, rocky outcrops, and military installations that immerse players in the harsh and unforgiving terrain. The sound design further elevates the experience, with authentic weapon sounds and radio chatter that deepen the sense of being part of an elite special forces unit. The AI teammates are generally reliable, though the game rewards players who take direct control and coordinate movements to minimize risks. The difficulty curve is well-balanced, offering a satisfying challenge for both newcomers and veterans of tactical shooters. While the expansion doesn’t revolutionize the formula, it delivers more of what fans love—methodical, tactical gameplay that requires patience and precision. For players craving a realistic and immersive military shooter experience, Ghost Recon® Desert Siege™ is a worthy addition to the series. Rating: 9/10

It also features some subtle but important improvements to the original gameplay that make Ghost Recon a more polished and enjoyable game as a whole.
