    Big Dissappointment

    Posted .

    Overall there was not much improvement, if any, from the first Vegas. From what i have played so far, I can actually say that I enjoyed the first Vegas more. In vegas 2 the maps are too big and too difficult to navigate through. The actual shooting is terrible, if you dont connect on your first shot, you have no chance of hitting your target. The multiplayer servers are still terrible as well. It takes ages to find a game free of lag. There were no improvements in gameplay, only in unlockables, like the ACES system, plus a few new guns. When i bought this game, i was planning on playing it instead of call of duty 4, which didnt happen. I was totally disappointed in this game and have returned to call of duty 4.

    Well heres my story i preordered Rainbow about two weeks before it came out. So I was really excited but when i started playing it just got boring all you do is just hide behind something and kill a guy. So after that I decided to check out the online and it was horrible since I played Call of Duty so much I just ran around the level and got killed about twenty times. All people do online is just hide behind a corner and thats it and then you just wait. Me and all my friends got this game we played for about a week and then went back to Call of Duty. So what i'm saying is if you want a better quality game just buy Call of Duty.

    good game

    This is a good expansion to the first RSV. They added the running feature, which was a must. The online play is pretty smooth, i've had no more trouble with it than any other game on my 360. The ability to customize your character is also greatly expanded on. For those of you who played the first, part of your rank is transferred over to the second so you don't start from square one. When playing the story mode, the load times can get a little long, but that's what happens when an entire level is loaded at once and it's using an optical disc over flash memory or even a hard drive. The game itself doesn't bring much new to the table, but for those who enjoyed the first, i'd say go out and buy it. I admit, it's not Call of Duty 4, but it's a good game none the less.

    GREATEST GAME ON THE MARKET next to COD4 that is. Very realistic doesn't take a lot to kill him unless you have horrible aim. It is hard at first but when you get used to it it is fun. Great online play. I love how you can earn xp while in story mode n rank up n also get achievements. Great story mode. Took a chapter out of cod4 being able to choose guns n unlock camo but you can personalize your own character. GREAT. JUST AN AMAZING GAME. I never liked rainbow 6 Vegas until this gm came out. It is worth your money. Definitely buy it.

    BEAST GAME!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    THIS GAME IS TOTALLY WORTH THE 60$. I bought this game because the demo for it was fun, and I was blown away. I would recommend buying the first game so that you get the story line. It is realy is cool how you can take cover behind things and blind fire. The graphics are not good, but the game is lts of fun so that really doesn't matter. BUY THIS GAME!!!!! But younger players, this game has lots of language. When this game says strong language it means it, unlike most other games.

    Rainbow Six Vegas2

    This game is really fun. The best feature I like is the Co-Op play, which gives you the ability to arm up with a friend to play the campaign mode. There is a large arsenal of weapons, from assault rifles to sniper rifles. Like the first Vegas, you are given the ability to control your squad of men, mainly with your d-pad. The controls are fairly easy, and it is fun stacking men against the door and using them to breach. One item that is very fun to use is the snake cam. With the snake cam, you can look under the door and see into the room you are going to enter next. You are able to mark enemies, and when you do a red box appears over their head.

    I always end up buying the rainbow six franchise, because first person shooters are my favorite style of gaming and rainbow six in my opinion does it the best. Not to mention the online experience which, I think is the best out there right now. The only games that come close are Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, but you will enjoy beating the game itself, while spending endless hours online on the fast paced heart pounding action this game brings.

    I liked the single player, it's challenging and has a good storyline. The multiplayer could be better. Sometimes the levels are too big and it's hard to find people.

    I recommend the game to anyone willing to stack up on a down look through the snake cam. Put a breach explosive on the door, Boom!!! Go in shooting.

    Outstanding Game

    This game is extremely good. The graphics are pretty good, but the gameplay is even better. You have to think about what you are doing, so this isn't one of those games where you just barge into rooms and shoot. Game sort of reminds me of a realistic Gears of War. Overall, this is a great title with outstanding online modes. Get this game as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!

    Story mode on coop is pretty fun when playing with a friend. My favorite is to play terrorist hunt online with 3 other friends. Plenty of different online modes to play. Many people complain saying this is just an expansion to the first one, but they made a few changes, all new maps, and gameplay is great! Highly recommended!

    Not for everyone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was long looking forward to this release. The trailers and articles look good, but as the release date got closer more and more of the review did not look so good. But I am a fan of the Tom Clancy novels and games so I jumped in. I noticed not so new graphics - which was very disappointing even though I red about them. The enemy AI is much better but almost to the point of predictability. You teammates are also better. You still have to tell me to give aid to the other teammate. Story line is also good. The tactical interface is also enhanced. You now TAG targets and have your team attach them in the order you have selected leaving you to attach or over watch your team as they make the attack. For new comers to the Rainbow series it may not be worth the investment, but the gamer that played the first Rainbow Six Vegas it might be worth it. This new game feels like an expansion pack. If you are on a budget I would invest my money in Call of Duty - 4. I have given this a 3 star because of the story line, game play, and AI improvements. Better graphics should have made this a 4 or 5 star game.

    The online gaming is great. The graphics are great. The developers did a great job with the game. You can earn xp in campaign and online. I got this game when it first came out I wanted it so bad. It is a ton of fun. You should totally get this game.

    Back and Better

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    You will be amazed at how much Rainbow Six has grown over the years, and since its last release Rainbow Six Vegas...we get an all new game that has a lot of updates but is it really a 2nd game or is it more like a expansion? The game looks like it would hit more of the expansion side since everythings just about the same as it used to be except for the addition of graphics and the ability to level up without xbox live support. The map design is cool expecially in later parts where it seems ur trying to stop a terrorist threat from actually happening. Multiplayer is average if not a little above. Its never been so fun to do terrorist hunt with friends or play COOP Campaign. With that being said this would be a definate purchase for anyone even if u dont like Rainbow Six.

    The graphics are way better than Rainbow Six Vegas. I really liked the online co-op story mode. A buddy of mine and i played the whole story mode from the beginning. That was the selling point for me. Great game!!

    Overall its not that bad of a game, but online isnt all that great. I wouldnt recommend buying it because it gets boring really quickly. If ur looking for an intense online shooter, Call of Dudy 4 or Gears of War are probably ur best choices.

    What Happened?!?!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game overall was a disappointment in the end. I played the first Vegas which was absolutely amazing. In this one the Online games are just way to fast and not enjoyable. The game doesn't really require any strategy between players as the first one did. The story was not that much fun to play, unless you have friends to play it with. Even then there is something missing. Terrorist hunt with friends in this game is the only reason i would buy it, besides that it can become an expensive coaster to put your sweet tea on. Bad Points: Can get very repetitive, need online player to get your money's worth out of it, can be difficult at some points; so difficult to be annoying If you do not have xbox live i would definitely not buy this game. Seriously do not buy this game unless you have Xbox live. Have Fun! : )

    This game is one of the greatest shooter games you can get on the Xbox 360. If you love Call Of Duty 4 you should love this game too! Me and my friends always have a blast playing multiplayer.

    This game has a great multi-player and single-player campaign mode, it has a ton of replay value and the customization of you character make this one of the greats in the FPS Genre.
