    Game is awesome. Been doing the Terrorist hunt with a buddy the past 2 days and could not be having more fun. Sat there for about 10 min just watching our guys mouths move as we used the voip.

    An excellent shooter, alot better and improving gameplay over the last versions. 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.

    RSV1 lover? You MUST get this. I defy anyone who has played the first game extensively to tell me that this one doesn't blow it's doors off. I loved the first game a lot and played it all the time for months after it came out. This is even better in just about every respect and adds a better points system in the ACES system.

    this game deserves only a 10!!! FERNANDO NEEDS TO LEARN PROPER ENGLISH AND TO RECOGNISE A GOOD GAME FROM A BAD ONE!!! The terrorist hunt mode is so awsome! the terrorists r stupid when it comes to explosives though, but thats what makes it hilarious. throw a C4 and they all gather around to see if its their favorite brand of pretzels. KABOOM!!! try blowing someone off a rappel line. HILARIOUS!

    I had fun playing vegas 2, although the multiplayer seemed a bit jittery at times. The voice acting in a couple of parts was F***ING FANTASTIC, like in the convention centre if you take the time to listen to what the terrorists are saying some of their quotes are funny as. Guns arn't that realistic and the AI is a bit run, gun, stop, turn,gun, etc. But all in all it was an enjoyable I had fun playing vegas 2, although the multiplayer seemed a bit jittery at times.

    This is at least as entertaining as "Rainbow Six Vegas" and even better. Small improvements in every category. Graphics are nicer. Controls and movement are smoother. The new customizable character is awesome and it does matter if you wear just a shirt and pants. Only downside I noticed is your teammates AI. Occasionally there's moments when they don't shoot the enemy. This is at least as entertaining as "Rainbow Six Vegas" and even better. Small improvements in every category. Graphics are nicer.

    A really good game but too far from the previous rainbow six (rogue spear for example). High speed action, less tactic but a good story. Multiplayer is also good with mature players but crashes sometimes with some hardware components. I recommand this game for the story and the gameplay (similar to call of duty 4).

    I've beaten just about everything in the game and with it's many faults, I still absolutely love it. The campaign is very replayable as there are many ways to approach the perilous rooms that it contains, but don't look for a very good story as the main villian is a whiny **** who generally makes no sense. Multiplayer is very high paced and has a counterstrike learning curve, in otherI've beaten just about everything in the game and with it's many faults, I still absolutely love it. The campaign is very replayable as there are many ways to approach the perilous rooms that it contains, but don't look for a very good story as the main villian is a whiny **** who generally makes no sense. Multiplayer is very high paced and has a counterstrike learning curve, in other words, you will die. The online gameplay also resembles what happened with the original Gears of War, as people choose to forsake the safety of the cover system for a more agressive run and gun tactic. This seems like a mistake at first, but eventually you will get the hang of it, just like Gears. Customization is really where it's at in this game as you can fully spec out your character from pants to gun attachments. It's almost endless selection of clothing, clothing camo, armor, and assecories. The many different armor types that you can choose also attribute to how many bullets you can shrug off or how fast you can run. I found my self chasing after each and every level so I could get that new piece of gear that would really finish off my guys look. Now the mistakes. The AI is completely useless compaired to modern day games as they are very predicatable and sometimes a bit glitchy. Environments are generally bland despite the locations having true potential which can be noticable as you pound through the campaign. Leveling takes ages and even forces you to either cheat your way up or just grind it out in terrorist hunt. Talking about terroist hunt, it's pretty damn difficult as the enemies immediately come at you in a storm and actively hunt you throughout the map. It's completely frustrating and it still remains as the only part of the game I haven't beaten. The character models are pretty bad also with the pretty much every character in the beginning character selection look like they had been hit repeatedly in the face with a very large hammer. This game has faults, but I still find myself playing it more that any other game I have ( I do have alot of games btw). They really have something here in terms of gameplay and customization so I would really look forward to the next R6 installment where they might iron the problems faced in this already satisfying title.… Expand

    One of the few First person shooter that's actually really hard and good at the same time the graphics is little bad (even on pc) but gameplay is enjoyable and i like the style of shooter and stealth

    I had great fun playing this game! It's a nice terrorist-elimination game. People complain about the ai... well sure they can kill you if you are not smart and put them in the wrong place. After all, you tell them where to go... And for a co-op, it's just fantastic :) Good work Ubisoft :)

    A very good game, not as tactical like the old R6 games, but that doesn't bother me, because the game itself has so many stuff in it.
    Like the weapons you can use, every weapon has a first person view and the weapon amount is not low.
    Also you can use many armors and the coop is wonderful. The A.i. is very difficult if you play on hard also i like the maps. Great game! Looking forward    A very good game, not as tactical like the old R6 games, but that doesn't bother me, because the game itself has so many stuff in it.

    It's too bad most game programmers aren't gamers... then they'd rethink how it should be. R6Vegas has a lot of potential but they miss the big picture. It still is a fun game but Crysis is going to be hard to beat. Crysis missed the COOP play too... so much for any game being great!

    Hopefully Ubi shakes things up for a third instalment however, because the current trend is going to result in something downright style and mediocre for Vegas 3.

    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]

    Rainbow Six Vegas 2 isn't terribly exciting when played alone, but it is solid when you go online.
