My friends have Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for the Xbox 360. So I’ve had a chance to play GRAW a bit, in multiplayer mode. It’s quite a lot of fun when four friends get dumped into a region to track down and kill dozens of rapscallions.

Now Ubisoft is releasing Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 6th. (Let’s just hope that the PS3’s version gets the same treatment as the Xbox 360.)

IGN has a preview of the game, and it goes into quite a bit of detail. Three pages worth. And they’ve got some nice videos of the game in single player mode, though no multiplayer videos. I especially appreciated the really cool looking explosions, and the graphics in general. The squad-based combat looks cool, and ordering them around looks like a blast.
