    This is as good as gunplay has gotten in a videogame. [Mar 2007, p.60]
  2. The gameplay mechanics are refined to the point of perfection and the presentation is stellar.
  3. Even if you don't have a top-of-the-line gaming rig, this is a superb title that is so good (even on medium detail settings) that you just might postpone that eBay sale so that you can play it through a second time.

    While Rainbow Six veterans will surely miss the familiar pre-planning elements of the hallowed franchise, most of the changes made for Vegas successfully ramp up its intensity, and more importantly, its fun. [Mar 2007, p.60]
  5. Rainbow Six Vegas isn’t the best tactical shooter ever made, losing a few points in the system requirements and the save system department, but it’s a very good game.
  6. The real problem is that it simply isn't as good as it could have been. Erratic AI, overly impervious sidekicks, some suspect voice-acting, patchily impressive and hugely power-hungry visuals. It's a list that adds up to a missed opportunity if ever I've seen one, but while Vegas may not quite have hit the jackpot, it does still manage to walk away a winner.
  7. I for one think console gamers can handle a real tactical sim, but I suppose that in this increasingly competitive industry, taking even the slightest risk has become passe.

You're really scared to stay out of cover even for a second here, it's not a game where you can just run and gun killing everyone in your way like terminator. Here you feel yourself very vulnerable, here you need to use all your tactic skills. This is a very realistic game where you can feel how a real gunfight dangerous is! The only disadvantage is length, I think the story is a little bit short. Expand

    Recently out is the Tom Clancy Bundle which, with 4 other titles, includes Rainbow 6 Vegas. I never got round to this when it first came out.Recently out is the Tom Clancy Bundle which, with 4 other titles, includes Rainbow 6 Vegas. I never got round to this when it first came out. Cant remember why.

    As it is 6 years old no point in talking much about graphics, but they do hold up very well.

    This is a 1 hit can kill sort of game.

    Many of the general game play is very good. Hiding and being able to peek and shoot or just hold your weapon round the corner and blind fire, abseiling (rappelling). Carry loads are reasonable but a very limited choice of weapons. The one glaring thing every reasonable PC gamer hates, checkpoint saves, there are no player saves. so loose 7 points automatically for this.

    The enemies are trigger spawned and often simply appear from nowhere so it is impossible to "hunt" as in a true RPG. When they do appear they are not completely stupid and do not just blindly rush. which is a bad side when there is no player save as it restricts initiative. Trial and error, which lets face it is the basis of most shooter/RPG gamer strategies, means doing the whole Bstrd sub-level from scratch if your plan is even slightly off skew.

    Solo play means that unless you want to just sit back and send in your AI team mates, who on the whole are quite well scripted, you are going to spend an entire weekend to complete one section of one level because you will get randomly shot over and over and over and over and well I think you get the drift.

    So Solo game gets a 1. (See no save game would have been an 8, think about that game designers)

    I never play coop or multi but will add 5 as I cant say if it is a good or bad aspect. Although other reviewers do say these aspects are excellent.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas e un FPS tattico in prima/terza persona dove sconfiggi terroristi in giro per i livelli.
    Il gameplay e qualcosa di tremendo muori subito in 3-4 colpi senza copertura e se il nemico ha il fucile crepi con un colpo, il problema e che se i tuoi compagni cadono e li mandi troppo avanti e hai finito le fumogene li devi per forza salvarli se no fallisci la missione, tra l'altro tu puoi salvare a loro ma i tuoi compagni non possono salvarti se muori quindi ricominci dal checkpoint cosa pallosa.
    A Medal Of Honor Pacific Assault avevi medico che si portava con se delle bende ovviamente c'era un limite per ogni difficoltà di bende tipo su normale erano 3 credo e su facile 5 ma almeno avevi medico che ti salva se sbagli qui su Rainbow NO! Se crepi amen ricominci da capo.
    L'intelligenza del IA non e tanto gran che avvolte si fa uccidere subito anche se lo metti al riparo.
    La grafica e la musica sono decenti diciamo che anche la fisica del gioco e carina tipo Logan il nostro personaggio quando subisce 3-4 proiettili vede lo schermo parzialmente nero, beh nella vita reale e tipo realistico perché quando svieni vedi parzialmente nero questa e una cosa interessante come lo hanno implementato non è come COD che tipo sullo schermo ti si fa il ketchup.
    Il multiplayer nel 2023 non funziona non andate a giocarlo per quello se vi piace giocatelo solo nel singleplayer anche se a me l'esperienza non mi è piaciuta per niente.
