Between missions there's not much to do, other than drive around a spectacularly boring Bolivia looking for more icons to kick missions off. Bolivia's actually a beautiful country, and this game probably set tourism back for the country by a couple of decades.

If you're the sort of person who just wants to mindlessly shoot through co-op games with a chatty group of friends, Wildlands is fine for that. Anyone else should probably look elsewhere.

Despite its very inconsistent tone, lack of polish and finicky vehicles, the solid core gameplay and gorgeous open world make Ghost Recon Wildlands a highly enjoyable co-op multiplayer tactical experience.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is just another in the long line of Ubisoft's vapid open world games packed full of content (collectibles and quests) with no real meaning. The setting is absolutely stunning and a joy to view, but there's nothing in the world to actually incentivise you to travel around. It's a sturdy, but average shooter with no variety. At the end of it all, it's mostly boring interspersed with moments of fun.

Wildlands is a fun sandbox open-world shooter from Ubisoft Paris with a massive amount of content that is best experienced with other players in its seamless drop-in, drop-out four-player co-operative multiplayer mode.

Wildlands is a bad f***ing game -- it completely fails at everything it aspires to be. It's a bad co-op game, it's a bad shooter, it's a bad open-world game, and the writing is terrible. At best, the game is boring.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is a fun romp in a huge world that allows you tackle each encounter in as tactical or non-tactical manner as you please. Your fellow players are what bring this game to life, so best not look at this as a single-player experience.

While Wildlands never really gets out of third gear. it is the funnest, thrillingest, most epic third gear we’ve played online in a very long time.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands suffers from the repeatative missions and lack of polishing. There are no truly new ideas, dull AI, naive story, and not everyone will appreciate even those ideas, which were successfully borrowed from other games. You will spend a lot of time travelling on the huge map, shooting dummys. But with all this new Ghost Recon does not skimp on the atmospheric moments and fun gameplay at a high level of difficulty, giving a lot of positive experiences with the co-op mode with four friends.

Though I found the repetition too much, those cathartic moments of perfect planning in multiplayer are enough to warrant giving it a try, as long as you have a squad of friends to back you up.

It should be noted that there is an upgrade system in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, but it’s so incremental that you will rarely notice the difference. By the end of the game you will have unlocked the majority of the upgrades, so no real builds are necessary. In a game so focused on co-op, it would have been nice to need builds for different characters, or abilities that would drastically change the way you took each mission. But that’s not what we get here.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands features a huge and wide-open sandbox-style world with a polished gameplay and a seamless co-op that will keep you coming back for more.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is a great game, with a beautiful open world and authentic-style Ghost Recon gameplay. It is worth a buy and I do recommend it to anyone thinking about getting the game. Just understand it isn't perfect and there will be frustrating times in the game. The good news is when you really get into it, you will find yourself setting up for the perfect stealth mission, or a giant fire fight and you will stop just for a second and say damn this is awesome.

I did have some fun and enjoyable moments. Although, Ghost Recon Wildlands had potential but it didn’t manage to keep up with the standards of open-world games similar to Watch_Dogs 2 and Grand Theft Auto V. It has too many setbacks that prevents the game from reaching its true potential.

Wildlands wants to be both an ultraviolent cartoon and a grounded, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller. It can't do both, and it's much better at being silly and absurd. The mechanical experience of it is as freewheeling a sandbox as I've ever seen, but the frame, the tone and the script weigh it down like an anchor.

I Never Thought that Ghost Recon: Wildlands would be that Much Fun. There is a Massive world to Explore and you won't get Tired of it anytime soon. Gameplay is so amazing and if you want to see full potential of Ghost Recon: Wildlands, play it co-op with your friends. But if you experience it on single player, the game is do much fun too, because i played both ways for many hours and both are so amazing. The map is so huge and Cartel's members are more than 20 people that every one has a big part on map under their control. You must Eliminate them one by one to finally reach the main and interior cycle. With good and constant support of Ubisoft and important updates with new contents, now Ghost Recon: Wildlands is so much better than its launch time. Unfortunately, the Driving System isn't Good Especially with Bikes but Still, Ghost Recon: Wildlands has a huge amount of good aspects that we could absolutely forget about its small problems. Ghost Recon: Wildlands is an amazing open world game and one of the best co-op shooters in this generation. It worth your time and money very well.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands giving you open world and guns also vehicles and super charterer customization, it's a game with so many possibilities and fun factor whether you're playing it solo or in CO-OP Mode with friends, what the game lacking is the professional shooting mechanics which are more arcade than being hardcore also the repetitive mission design hurts the game in addition to bad Ai.

As a shooter, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is tactical, refined, and precise. As a world it is open, sprawling, and filled with things to do/find. And as a co-op experience, it's arguably one of the best yet.

On the surface, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a standard sandbox shooter to the max. But scratch deeper, and you'll find an engaging tactical experience that gets by with a little help from your friends.

If you've got some friends to play with, give Wildlands a bash, but better open-world games are out there.
