This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm for PlayStation 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm for PlayStation 2 combines two tactical campaigns. Island Thunder sends the Ghosts to Cuba after Fidel Castro's death; Jungle Storm adds eight Colombian missions against an armed cartel. Before each assignment you assemble two small fireteams from different classes, weapons and specialists. One bad position can eliminate a soldier, making reconnaissance and coordinated fire more important than a fast advance.
You control one Ghost and command both teams through a map and quick menu. Objectives range from reconnaissance and rescues to securing locations. Survivors earn combat points, and special objectives unlock experts with unique equipment. The disc also contains local split-screen matches. The original online features, including cooperative missions and competitive game types, required a network adapter and official servers that are not promised as a current service.
On PS2, Jungle Storm is a standalone game rather than a small expansion: it includes the Island Thunder campaign, which had not previously appeared separately on this platform. Extra controllers are required for local multiplayer; check the selected game type for the supported participant count. The campaign works without internet, uses a DualShock 2 and saves to a PlayStation 2 memory card. Features from PC or Xbox editions are not attributed to this release.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 2 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm for PlayStation 2 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm
Red Storm Entertainment developed Jungle Storm within the early Ghost Recon series, and Ubisoft released the PlayStation 2 version in 2004. The original Ghost Recon had already reached PS2, but Island Thunder was not sold there separately. Jungle Storm addressed this by combining the Cuban Island Thunder campaign with a new eight-mission Colombian campaign and additional multiplayer maps.
It was the first Ghost Recon release on PlayStation 2 with official online support. Players could once compete or tackle campaign missions together, while local split screen offered an offline alternative. The core stayed deliberately strict: soldiers have no large health bar, teams must be positioned before a firefight and losing specialists can make later assignments harder. This design distinguished the series from more direct military shooters.
After Jungle Storm, Ubisoft moved the series toward a more direct perspective and a stronger focus on one team leader in Ghost Recon 2. Advanced Warfighter later introduced modern interface elements and future technology. Jungle Storm therefore stands at the end of the classic formula with two plannable fireteams, individual soldier statistics and missions prepared on a tactical map. The PS2 disc also preserves two campaigns in one release.
Similar games for PlayStation 2
The first Ghost Recon on PS2 introduces two fireteams, vulnerable soldiers and a campaign in Eastern Europe. Jungle Storm keeps that structure but combines Island Thunder with a new Colombian campaign, plus local and historically online multiplayer. The original is plainer; Jungle Storm offers more missions, maps and equipment variations.
Ghost Recon 2 uses a more direct third-person perspective and puts Captain Scott Mitchell firmly at the centre. Jungle Storm more often allows switching between soldiers and controls two fireteams on the map. The sequel feels more cinematic and faster; Jungle Storm demands more preparation and makes the loss of individual specialists more serious.
Rainbow Six 3 covers indoor counter-terrorist actions with doors, hostages and short assault routes. Jungle Storm uses larger outdoor areas and two separate fireteams. Both reward cautious command, but Rainbow Six focuses on room actions through one leader while Ghost Recon distributes positions across broad terrain.
Global Storm allows instant switching between four fixed squad members and combines tactics with more ammunition and action. Jungle Storm uses assembled teams, more lethal hits and a planning map. Conflict is more forgiving with recovery and inventory; Ghost Recon is stricter about sightlines, cover and preserving specialists.
SOCOM II follows a fixed SEAL unit and supports optional voice commands through a headset. Jungle Storm positions two fireteams on the map and contains two campaigns with selectable soldiers. SOCOM presents missions more cinematically from one leader's view; Ghost Recon focuses more on team composition, statistics and simultaneous routes.
