    Hi,

    Today steam released bunch GRAW games. Couple years ago, I played GRAW for Xbox 360 and I liked it a lot. I thought about getting GRAW 2 but I heard that it's bad compared to the first one. So, which one should I get? With FPS, community is very important to me because I don't play single player mode.

    thanks, :)

    sadly, the communty is horrible for both games. i own graw2 and bought it when it came out, played for awhile and hopped online but no one was there besides like 12 people. i figured i'd give it time for people to get the game and stuff but i recently looked once again at the servers and there was 3 servers with about 6 people on each. that is all. i am sadly dissapointed because i LOVE graw2 on the xbox360 bcause of the online play, but no one plays this game online! :( oh well, back to css and tf2

    The PC games are EXTREMELY different from the ones on the Xbox 360. The PC versions can only be played in first-person mode, and are very realistic - meaning they are hellishly hard. Unless you like ferociously tactical FPS squad based games - where you'll die every 10th step, these games aren't for you.

    Thanks. I guess I'll have to let these games go.

    Yeah it's a pretty difficult game. Very slow paced in that you have to assess the situation, command your squad (who sometimes doesn't do what you want or just do some really stupid things) and also make sure you have use all of your gadgets and options.

    I lost interest after the first mission when i would die so often it just lost its fun.
