GameSpot has slapped up a review on Red Storm Entertainment's tactical shooter, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. With a score of 7.3, they don't seem too impressed with the game. Snip:

You'll find that the poorly detailed map in the command panel isn't as useful as it could be. A good full-sized topographical map would have been more suited to the sort of finely detailed movements necessary to keep your men alive. You really need elevation markings, not just generalized references to clumps of trees. The command interface has other problems. With the game set to high resolutions, everything on the panel appears rather tiny. Also, the panel seems unresponsive--you often need to click things multiple times to get them to work properly. There aren't enough hotkeys to really circumvent the interface panel, and you need to temporarily assume control of a fireteam to give it movement orders, which is very awkward, particularly during a firefight.
