"While early Nintendo 3DS releases have catered to the average sports, platformer and racing gamer, the strategy genre has not been represented at all. This isn't much of a surprise given the industry has been pulling away from this genre more and more in recent times. But at least we get something from Ubisoft, right? Before you start rolling your eyes, the game I'm about to discuss does not mix in with the port-centric focus they had from the start. In fact, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is quite the departure from the traditional games of this fame. More than that, not only is this Ubisoft's strongest title on this platform to date, it just so happens that this is one of the best games to get for the 3DS right now." -- Wiiloveit.com

Wait till you guys see all the Pay To Win micro-transactions that are in this game!! Yes, everything from buying weapons (NOT just skins), to attachments, to skill unlocks, to "time savers", etc....and this is just naming a few. Check out the videos online for Breakpoint's Store!
I was so jacked for this game, but now it's a pass just like this year's COD.
I'm predicting that these greedy companies will soon be the death of video games as we know it.

Cyburn writes : "One of the launch games for the Nintendo 3DS, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars from UbiSoft is a turn based strategy title with a similar feel to Advance Wars and Fire Emblem but easier to get into.
The story feels like a cliché of a Cold War plot brought into the modern era with the enemies being ultra-nationalist Russians who want to conquer East Europe and return it to a Soviet Union. Our heroes plus a Kazakh agent sidekick seem like a generic multi-racial team of GI Joe rip-offs, though the story while thin does keep a quick pace.
In terms of gameplay and setting: Shadow Wars is presented in a overhead, third person perspective and you move your units around like chess pieces or figurines – each having their own special abilities".
is this game online ??!!
