    The new multiplayer modes are extremely good fun and highly addictive, the maps are much bigger and Xbox Live 3.0 is in full force with clan matches, voice and text messaging and even team lobbies with level maps to plan attacks.
  2. This game isn't for the unreal championship type of player because you will definitely need team work and the help of your buddies most of the time.
  3. One of the most complete online-enabled console shooters around.
  4. 8 / 7 / 7 / 7 - 29 [Vol. 848]

    This games rocks. It is like getting an expansion pack for the classic R6 3 game. The terrorists even scream louder when you hit them with the gernade launcher :). Expand

    OK, I should point out that if you have not played any of the earlier RS6 games then take this rating as a 8.5. If you played the first then you would have to be quite serious to go out and get this one. The game play, voices and about 85% of the game is nearly the same as the first version. In my opinion its really an extra 10 levels to play onto of the first version but nothing overly new. The AI is pretty much average. You can shoot a terrorist dead and the terrorist right next to him with still stand completely still so that you can pot him off as well given that he should have run or hid after his mate hit the floor. Don't get me wrong, still great game play and good graphics but this game should have moved above the benchmark set in the first version. As such, its kept it at the same level. Expand
