    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]

    It's not as sharp as its console counterparts, but this PC shooter still gets the job done.

    This is definitely the weakest iteration of Vegas 2; if you have a PS3 or 360, it’s easy to recommend those versions over this one, even if the controls aren’t quite as tight.

    The quality of the Rainbox Six-series has reached an all-time low. The AI opponents don't take cover properly and then don't even realize when they are hit. The story doesn't seem to be connected to Rainbow Six: Vegas and some scenes in the game are simply absurd. It feels like Vegas 2 was made out of bits and pieces that didn't make it through quality control when the predecessor was made. Great controls and game mechanics can't save the game from being mediocre.

But sometimes you end up dying, way to fast you start to go a little towards your enemies and then you get shot once and then you are dead, i would have rated 8, but alot of people rated it 0 because they dont know how to play tactical-shooter games, so it gets a 10.… Full Review »

    Single player game is actually quite good but some missing controls over teammates make playing sometimes desperate. Simultaneous takedownsSingle player game is actually quite good but some missing controls over teammates make playing sometimes desperate. Simultaneous takedowns are practically impossible, teammates have some problems if you order them to shoot through window and game would need rule of engagement mode named sure-shot, where teammates would shoot only if they were sure about 1 shot kill… Full Review »
