Inside Mac Games has posted a review of Aspyr's tactical shooter, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.

Here's a clip from the review:

Rather than the Hitchcockian style of minutely planning out every single move before being put on the field, Ghost Recon allows players to make up their strategy on the fly. This time round, you're in charge of three teams; Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. You can equip each team any way you like, however you cannot play with more than three members per team and six members total. Typically your Alpha team contains your riflemen (and women), your Bravo team contains your demolition types, and Charlie team contains your sniper(s); however you're completely free to equip and set up your teams whichever way you please.

When the missions begin, you're placed on the field with a set of primary objectives and one secondary objective. Completion of the primary objectives is crucial to winning the level; secondary objectives, while not necessary to gameplay, unlock special ability players that you can use in future missions. These special ability players, which come with higher ratings and more powerful weapons than your current team members, come in extremely handy when facing some of the more challenging missions as the game progresses. Successful completion of a level is also rewarded by the doling out of combat points to the surviving members of our team, which can be assigned to one of four player characteristics: Weapon, Stealth, Endurance, and Leadership. Careful fulfilling your objectives however; if all three of your primary objectives get completed BEFORE your secondary objectives, or if you kill all the enemies on the map before completing all of your objectives, the level ends and you move onto the next challenge.
