The latest installment in the Ghost Recon series is coming along very nicely. The game is supposed to ship in 2006 on
PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 and Gamecube. What do you guys think of it so far?

Well the only system i have out of these are the PS2, and I wouldnt buy it for it. Ubisoft seems to suck at making these type of games for the PS2.

This was supposed to be a launch title for the 360.
It was one of the reasons I was really hyped about getting a 360. But since it got pushed back, I havent really cared all that much about waiting for my pre ordered system.

Ghost Recon is the only FPS I've played that doesn't give me a complete headache. I just beat GR2:SS (Xbox) not too long ago and am eagerly awaiting #3.

Yeah that is true. Tom Clancy games seem to be only good for Xbox and PC. PS2 and GC always seem half assed.

After reading the new OXM. It appears that the Next-Gen and Current-Gen versions will differ more than just with graphics. The current gen systems will be stuck in first person, alternate levels, etc. Damnit now I may just have to wait for the 360 one because I loved the over the shoulder, and it is a huge step backwards to be stuck in first person all the time.

I picked this up for the Xbox (not the 360). They've changed a lot of things between the 360 and the Xbox version apparently, not to mention they've changed a lot of stuff between the GR2 games and GR3.
You are right, on the Xbox the game is in 1st person only. There's a heads-up display that shows you what's going on (like what your other ghost sees) but it runs so slow that it's like watching Powerpoint. Oh and yeah, I said ghost -- you only have one other guy with you this time instead of three, which will make you think twice about sending everyone up ahead to blow up tanks while you sit back working on your tan.
The missions are similar to GR2 but this one is much harded -- the AI seems to lock in on your location quicker. Also, you can't lie down anymore, but instead you can sprint. Not being able to go prone will definitely change playing against other people, tougher to camp that way (good!).
I'm working on a review right now, once I get my head around it all I'll post it.
