    With "Denied Ops" dropping the Conflict ball and "Call Of Duty 4"’s snappy splendour drowning any tactical sense, it’s a likeable and distracting continuation, but one that won’t be difficult to usurp. [Apr 2008, p.90]

    Fan service at best, nothing here warrants a full admission price.

    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.

    The coop campaign mode is extremely challenging and fun to play, yet the best experience to be had with games like Rainbow Six Vegas 2 still resides online in the 16 player lobbies via multiplayer.

In fact the story is so bad i would say that you don't need to fulfill the first episode, if you want to experience a SWAT (well Rainbow in that case) look alike gameplay, you might as well do it with the nicest looking one, those R6 games definitely offer this nice feeling . Or even Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 if you're looking for good tactical shooters more than just SWAT look alike.… Full Review »
