The game engine is incredible, what with the level of detail it uses to render an entire city. HDTVs make it all the better of course, but even using just an S-Video connection, it's clear that a game that looks this good couldn't be done on a regular Xbox or PlayStation 2. The good news for those playing on standard-definition televisions is that the graphic quality of the game is plainly obvious no matter what type of television you use. To be fair, though, it's only the stark realism of the environment that gets you to notice a flaw like this in the first place. Still, it's a little eerie to see no cars moving around the streets and highways or people trying to go about their daily business. Apparently, all 9 million residents of Mexico City either vanished or are hiding indoors with all the unrest going on. Our only major complaint about the graphics is that for a city that looks so believable, it's as empty as a ghost town. But, presumably, this overbearing light is pretty realistic of how daylight can be in a near-equatorial area. Some people may find this annoying, as the high-contrast lighting makes certain areas very hard to see. The sunlight is so bright and intense that it's almost oppressive at times, with the way the glare affects your vision, particularly when you're squinting through a scope. The graphic detail extends not only to the character models, which are some of the best we've seen in a modern shooter, but also to the unique lighting and shadows. As you land, you find yourself engulfed by the metropolis and plying your way through the maze of buildings, streets, and alleys. Fires and smoke curl up into the sky from patches of fighting or factories. You take several helicopter rides throughout the campaign, and the city is literally sprawled out all the way to the horizon with buildings and streets. The first thing you'll notice about the game is how breathtakingly massive and believable the city looks. Major landmarks, such as Chapultepec and the spire at Angel Plaza, are represented fairly accurately in the game's depiction of Mexico City. You'll do this solo and with the help of three teammates-who you can issue simple commands to-and supporting vehicles. Over the course of the campaign, you'll explore the massive city-fighting rebel infantry, armored vehicles, and helicopters from within the dense, high-rise areas in the center to the dilapidated shanty towns on the outskirts. Disaster strikes when Mexican rebels attack the summit, killing the Canadian prime minister and causing both the Mexican and US presidents to go missing. You find yourself in Mexico City as part of the security entourage tasked with guarding a summit between the leaders of Mexico, Canada, and the US. You take the role of Scott Mitchell, a captain in the elite Ghosts-the light-infantry unit whose members are renowned for their skill and heroism in the face of long odds.
