Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas Greatest Hits - PlayStation 3

If you are looking for a different type of first person shooter, this would be a good product to purchase. I was very satisfied with the amount of total control and amount of tactical strategies that you need to use during this game. Online play is fun because you can play typical death match/team death match or play missions with other people online. The addition of this feature makes playing the game much more fun with your friends or with random online gamers! I would recommend this product to people that are looking for a first person shooter with a little more tactical fun, rather than boring missions that you can run through.

This game is a great shooter game for anyone with action packed game-play and a great experience.

I really like the plot of the game, I just wish the graphics were better. I know the game is a few years old thou. Over all I really like it.

Most shooters have a choice, either be realistic and suffer with boring environments/weapons/enemies OR take place in space/future/non-realistic areas and risk realism fans. This game keeps the realism and brings the flash and excitement of a terrorist-filled Vegas. You cannot talk about this game without addressing the setting, which is wonderful without being distracting. The interactivity is great, everything breaks making distractions very possible, it is amazing this is the first game to feature shootouts in a casino, that I can think of. There are other places too, dilapidated streets, offices, "the strip" and a bank-like series of back rooms. The enemies vary a bit from poorly trained thugs to elite terrorist agents, not the variety you'd expect from resistance or half-life, but still better than you would get from other Tom Clancy games. The weapons don't vary that much but are fine, you won't be bothered by it. The only other game with this level of variety on the PS3 is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune which has only one person, not a squad, and there are more puzzle-elements in Uncharted, but it's worth mentioning in case you aren't a fan of Clancy. The only substantive problem you'll find is that there is little random content; the maps don't change, the character AI doesn't change, the weapon location doesn't change, once you figure out how to pass a challenge that method will always work and will probably work in later levels too. If you do get bored, there is a nice online feature, which is well worth a try and offers more variety. The controls are fine, but take a little getting used to, and there is some six-axis usage which is fine. The story is a little silly, but does it's job. I would recommend this to anyone who likes tactical shooters with a variety of environments and enemies, if they don't like online I'd warn them about a lack of replayability.

This game is really good all the way around. I have found that it has got a great single player and Co-Op online modes. I have also found that to be the problem, what works for those parts of the game hurt the multiplayer death match, including the lack of balance in the guns and the inability to shoot on target on the go (I know a lot of people will say dont run 'n gun and I am not talking about that, i like the speed of movement it is the in accuracy on the go). I find Death Matches to be more sped up and this games doesnt account for that. My friends and I found the gun fights to be often more about luck than skill, not to say we didn't have fun, we did, but this game's Death Match to me isnt quite there. I am glad there is no jumping in this game because soldiers dont dodge gun fire by jumping around the battlefield, so yeah that's nice. Maybe I play too much SOCOM.

I really enjoyed this game. It was my first interactive team strategy game (as in: you control the actions of a few characters, in the role of the leader). I had played COD4 prior to this, and was blown away by the intensity, story, acting, graphics. But that game, while awesome, was a little short. RS:Vegas was different. You had intense action, but also had to sneak around a bit. The story was well done, with plot twists and a logical flow; the voice acting was professional; you could even hear, through the doors, the terrorists having conversations (in English and at times in Spanish) about things like "when this is all over I'll get you set up in another job." The story was much longer than COD4, and epic compared to the disappointing Ghost Recon 2. And the replayability was great, with the ability to do "terrorist hunt" scenarios through many stages, some of which were not part of the story. You even get to go through these extras as alternative characters. I have not tried multiplayer so can't comment. This game has a co-op option I'm eager to play, but I haven't had anyone over who wants to try. I really enjoyed this, and it was worth purchasing, since I will continue to play it in its many components.

Rainbow Six Vegas (a.k.a Vegas) is a great game. Not only is the shooting style and controller layolut great, but the graphics are really good to. I am about done with Vegas right now and I know that after I beat it I am going to play it again. Another benefit of the game is the realistic mode. This mode is definatly for more advanced players, but it is still fun to ocasionally just mess around on to see how well you'll do. Something I found out about recently was the instant action section of the game. In here, you can set up maps outside of the Carear mode and just play against the game. It is really quite fun. I would recomend this game for anybody who likes stealth/ swat style fighting in a Las Vegas/ Mexico setting. But this game really is good.

Rainbow Six Vegas offers both a single-player and multiplayer experience. The single player game can be played on a normal difficulty as well as hardcore, and the game's length is not extremely long, and somewhat repetitive. However the strength lies in the online multiplayer. Players are able to compete in a wide variety of games, and advance in rank which allows them access to additional weapons and accessories (armor, clothing etc.). The online system is somewhat flawed however they are working on a patch. If you like to play online, this is a nice change of pace to Resistance, as there is more strategy and not as much run-n-gun. I recommend the game though, and I've been happy with my purchase.
