Set in the near future, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 puts the player in the shoes of a highly trained operative who works as part of the U.S. Special Forces' elite military unit known as "Ghosts".
The game is set in North Korea, where an evil general is diverting all humanitarian aid to boost his forces and gain more political power, and it's up to the Ghosts to eliminate this threat.
The game features a single player campaign mode, where the player must take on the evil general in 11 different missions. There are also multiplayer modes both online and offline. The main campaign can be played through with a friend, or you can fight other players in multiple game modes spanning from deathmatch to team-based modes.
A new feature in this part of the series is the option to use a third person viewpoint, but the classic "From the eyes"-view is also available.
