Digital Foundry : In a new Retro PC Time Capsule video, John and Alex go back to cross-gen gaming, 2006-style, with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Join us for a look back at a time where Xbox 360 out-performed mainstream PCs by a long chalk, resulting in some games receiving almost completely different versions of the 'same game'... and not even Ageia PhysX support can help PC on this one! Meanwhile, it's a sorry state of affairs once we get to look at the PS2 version of the game.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter launched nearly 20 years ago, but remains an easy recommendation even today.
It's 20 years old and we can still play it. Are we going to be able to play Avatar and Star Wars Outlaws in 20 years?
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Assassin's Creed Liberation HD are now Xbox Backwards Compatible games available for Xbox One.
The multiplayer coop was some of the series best work! Glad to see it here but it’s a shame the multiplayer doesn’t work anymore, really wanted to play coop missions with my buddy again but forgot all the old servers are offline
I stand corrected, multiplayer does work! Unfortunately the only game I found suffered the problems of the original, spawn camping and grenade launcher spam. Oh well, seems to run at an uncapped frame rate too.
GRAW was really good, and it was among the few games (cod 2, fight night round 3) that kinda a my mind graphically when I first saw them, definitely showed me a new generation was here. The
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter represents the best of Ubisoft during their golden age.

I never played the Xbox 360 version of GRAW1, just the crappy PC and PS2 versions, which were essentially completely different games. Looking forward to playing through the campaign, and playing some co-op if at all possible.
The pc version was not crappy, it was a more tactical game than the action oriented 360 version but still high quality
The ps2 and xbox (Og xbox) was complete crap however
I couldn't stand the PC version. It felt like a total corner crawler, and the cross-com never worked properly on the PC.
Nice, GRAW was such a great series.
I wish we got a 3rd one, but it wouldn’t be the same.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and Tom Clancy's Spinter Cell: Conviction could soon make their appearance among the titles of Xbox 360 backward compatible with Xbox One.
Graw was awesome
