  • Summary: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is your last chance to rescue America's sexiest city from an escalating terrorist siege that will force you into heart-pounding action from beginning to end. Sin City is back and bigger than before. Explore all new Vegas hot spots as the environment changes from dusk to bright daylight to dawn, creating a visual experience that is as challenging as it is breathtaking. The multiplayer mode in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas has been upgraded to include 11 new, smaller maps that force more intense face-offs, 2 new adversarial modes, more rewards, and easier access to matches using the improved and intuitive matchmaking system. Create your own identity that stays the same in both single player and multiplayer modes and progresses as you do. Reap the benefits of your single player rewards in multiplayer and vice versa. Turn single player mode into co-op mode at any time, just by jumping into the game. Now your friend can jump into your single player game and help you without any change to the story. Single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, which means every map has multiple entry points and the story is the same. AI is more challenging than ever. Now, the terrorists are equipped with thermal vision, night vision, and shields – not to mention a multitude of varying reactions – all of which are guaranteed to give you a new playing experience every time you go into battle. As you progress within the game, you'll only be able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intel opportunities, such as thermal scanning, and tactical strategies, such as leapfrogging. Take down the terrorists more effectively using 11 new weapons. New camouflage, clothing and gear allow you to take customization to the next level. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    Sporting slightly more impressive graphics than either the 360 or PS3 versions (mostly due to the superior definition of higher-end LCD displays combined with flashy video cards), the PC version of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 could be the best version of the game.

    Nevertheless, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 remains a good game, recommended for military shooter fans and action games alike, because it represents the ideal combination between realism and action.

    Fun with friends, but folds like a nervous poker player in single play. Genuine chances need to be taken for the threequel to succeed. [May 2008, p.102]

    This Vegas 2 is more or less the same as Vegas 1 with improved graphics (not so much btw). Tbh it seems a bit a map pack more then a new game, prolly with this release the focus was all on multiplayer, as single player its quite flat corridor action based and really nothing more then first Vegas. Still ultra scripted so there is zero replayability, and the tactical approach is present only when opening a door. Cover system is still the same, not bad tbh, but in this release it seems to work a bit worse then in Vegas 1 prolly due to the fact there are more irregular objects around which can create some issues when trying to cover behind. The main problem in my opinion is that devs wanted to do something for the mass, looking as COD serie as inspiration, so they decided to cut out most of the tactical approach which was the core of the first games in serie, but sadly this title cant stand any chance compared to BF or COD serie in multi, and lost his fans as tactical shooter, so actually it has really not a specific place on the market imo. For a next time will be better to decide what kind of player please with the title, as this one fails a bit in every direction. Giving a 6 cause the game is not bad at all, especially now its easy to find it at super low prices, just its Vegas 1 with enhanced multiplayer support.… Expand

    urther gameplay has prompted me to update my review. The game is simply broken to the point that it heavily interferes with gameplay. When you add a cover system to a game like this its always good to make sure it WORKS. At least every map I've played I've come across a wall that either gave my screen a seizure when I leaned on it or prevented me from moving in some way. Another thing that got me was... Did my ai teammate just kill me with friendly fire? Really, the ai that's more piss poor than l4d abd halo combined just friendly fired me?! I payed 10 dollars for this game it's worth about that, but for a full price I have to laugh at Ubisoft for even trying to peddle this crap. Still very entertaining if you can play T hunt with people… Expand
