  • 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 changesTom 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

    Vegas 2 is still is one hell of a game. It is definitely the best shooter on the PS3 this year, if not the best shooter on the console overall.

    Whether a big fan, or just someone who is interested to see what all the fuss is about, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 delivers a stellar experience.

    Rainbow Six Vegas 2 isn’t the best sequel ever made, but it’s still a great tactical shooter in its own right.

    But the gameplay is still as hard as nails and importantly, uses the same excellent cover system.

    If, like us, you found the first game a bit sticky and imprecise to play, you can rest easier with this sequel - this is a crisper experience. [Apr 2008, p.110]

    The game itself is quite good. Graphically it does look good, it sounds good, has a very good story line and the choice of weapons, the ACES system and online play are all top notch work from Ubisoft. But the game still feels unfinished and rushed out.
  7. Game Revolution
    58
    It refuses to take any meaningful gambles. Fans may enjoy having more of their favorite game, but they might also find it drab and boring after so much of the same.

    I haven't played the first RSV but being a fan of the Splinter Cell series I bought this for my PS3. Playing this directly after playing I haven't played the first RSV but being a fan of the Splinter Cell series I bought this for my PS3. Playing this directly after playing COD4 I must admit, initially I was slightly disappointed, I think mainly because the controls weren't as fast and fluid as Call of Duty. After a few hours play my oppinion of the game improved, the co-op with the other members of the team is great, the graphics are good and it's actually a pretty cool game, worth getting.… Expand

    Good levels of customisation and an easy way to direct your squad make this an entertaining game which I revisit every so often. The story isGood levels of customisation and an easy way to direct your squad make this an entertaining game which I revisit every so often. The story is perhaps slightly one dimensional and cliched, and I feel that there isn't enough stealth when compared to firefights. The most satisfying moments are when you silently eliminate a terrorist with a woosh of suppressed bullets, while your teammates take out the others.

    Certainly not a must buy, but if you want a nice dabble of Special Operations gameplay then it is worth consideration.    … Expand
