    Vegas 2 is an astonishingly good time. While its single-player mode is above average for what an FPS might offer, the game's two-player Terrorist Hunt mode is where the game absolutely excels.

From the progression cycle that allows you to upgrade your gear in an unobtrusive and meaningful way to the terrorists' meme-worthy quotes peppered throughout intermittent firefights, this game is masterful in its execution. The gameplay is suspenseful, the controls are smooth (albeit not absolutely perfect), and there is even a unique endearing charm to the game that helps it stand the test of time and age gracefully.

    Vegas 2 is leaps and bounds above many shooters in the genre. I would even dare to call it underrated, as this is not a game I often hear compared to the titans of the genre (i.e. Halo, Call of Duty, etc.), yet I firmly believe it deserves to stand among them.    … Expand

    But I give this game a score of 7 out of 10

    In my opinion Vegas 2 was the best rainbow six game in the series up to that point. Today standards the graphics are still good but the gameplay controls are a little wonky, also the A.I of the enemy can easily be exploited

    Une très bonne suite que ce Rainbow Six Vegas 2 avec quelques menus détails de jouabilité modifiés mais qui ne s'avèrent nullement décisifs au final. L'IA est toujours impressionnante, les musiques captivantes (toujours signées Paul Haslinger) et les graphismes égaux à eux-mêmes, c'est-à-dire des plus corrects.

    Played recently with a friend because it's free with Gold and whatnot, and this game is horrible. The gun mechanics are pretty ridiculous in that even when you use a scope, your bullets will NOT go straight. you can be aiming right at some dudes face and the bullet will miss unless you use a sniper.

The gun mechanics are pretty ridiculous in that even when you use a scope, your bullets will NOT go straight. you can be aiming right at some dudes face and the bullet will miss unless you use a sniper. Speaking of snipers, that's pretty much the only gun you want along with a shot gun, because it's the only thing that has actual aim and can kill in one shot. Also, there is apparently no melee, which I feel is pretty ridiculous for a stealth game and any shooter in general. You can outfit your character, but to no noticeable degree because you'll get 2 shot in the endgame by pretty much everyone regardless of your armor stat. Basically, this game feels clunky and unfinished through and through, where the only reason it's difficult is because you're wrestling with it's horrible controls the entire time.

    Your two teamates, while useful for clearing a couple enemies in a close room, become a huge hindrance in larger fights where they keep dying or just plain getting in your way.

    Furthermore, the story boiled down to, and I'm not kidding, a former Rainbow member goes full terrorist mode because he has horrible Father issues. Like, what?

    So what is it good for? Playing with a friend and laughing about how atrocious this game is.    … Expand

    The single player campaign is ok for it's challenge but offers no real story you can get behind. You would think this would be more of the same and it kind of is but in the end I saw this as an add on for the co-op terrorist hunts, adding more maps but it seems that the AI has suffered as it just doesn't seem as sharp as the original. Still co-op saves the game.

    I didn't play this online so I can't comment on how it plays.
    Offline I found the game to have short story line and I finished it quickly, but it was fun to play.
    Good graphics and sound, but limited on what you can do or where you can go.

A lot of those people don't know how rating systems work. They are blinded by strong emotions and will give games 0's and 1's because they are mad about a certain aspect of the game, instead of calmly making an unbiased opinion and giving a true rating.

    It's an out of favor genre, but Ubisoft delivers a great tactical shooter and sequel that exceeds the original. Graphics and Game Play are strong, with a deep package of Single Player Campaign, Terrorist Hunt Missions and a very good Multiplayer. The result is a stirring gaming experience, especially Calypso Casino with evenly matched quality teams. They need to make more games like this.

    This shooter combines realism and tactics to make one of a kind, it comes with a long and realistic campaign and a great multiplayer with tons of ranks and weapons, sure, the controls aren't the best and the graphics don't really live up to what some people want but overall this is fun and really good.

    I played this before the first one. After finishing it, I played the first one and thought I had actually got the wrong disc. They have added NOTHING to RSV2 from Rainbow Six Vegas. The only difference is that you can customize your character and weapons by ranking up in single player and terrorist hunt as well, not just multiplayer. As with RSV1, the multiplayer is very laggy.

But terrorist hunt is a good feature. Lots of weapons and tactical gameplay. Controls could've been better but still not bad for a tactical shooter. Story is not good, but better than the first one. It's not like your typical shooter;- think anti-terrorist group or SWAT rather than super-soldier or GI Joe from the army. Definitely recommend it, but it doesn't have lasting appeal and gets boring quite easily.… Expand

But due to the fact that it does at least have on & offline Co-Op,& the whole story while doing so,plus other improvments,like being able to use your own custom character in all the modes including campaign,& the leveling system(PEC or Persistent Elite Creation),that unlocks more equipment,Armour & weapons,(You even see your rank badge on your character),in which you earn experience points in all modes,(Thankfully including campaign,for a change,for those like me,who have no interest in multiplayer modes)this game gets full marks from me.… Expand

I wouldn't go as far to say that this feels like a mere expansion pack. It still has a lengthy career and an improved multiplayer component. However, Vegas 2 feels all to similar to the first one. This is not necessarily a letdown, if you enjoyed the original Rainbow Six : Vegas, you will thoroughly enjoy it's successor. Vegas 2 has a story that is good enough to to keep the player immersed in the action,but it is by no means spectacular, but ties in with various missions to give the player a sense of purpose. However, if you expect the story to tie any loose ends in the previous iteration, you will be disappointed. You take control of a player named Bishop, and you will guide him through a narrative that runs parallel to the original Vegas storyline. Gameplay remains much the same, with a few tweaks such a tightened cover system and the introduction of a sprint function. It proves very useful in the game, especially when you are being overwhelmed by a large number of enemies. Enemy AI can range from tactical and aggressive, to downright daft. Throughout the game enemies will attempt to flank you and use cover. It forces the player to use some light tactical combat. There are very few instances where one can just "run-and-gun". A few set-pieces in the game, I encountered stupendous AI which affected my two team mates. From time to time, your team mates will attempt to go gung-ho and land up in impossible situations. This is a further annoyance because it's up to you to revive them. In most of these occurrences you will get caught in the crossfire and start again at the nearest checkpoint. In terms of graphics, Vegas 2 is identical to it's predecessor. Back in 2006, the original Vegas set the bar high for next-generation gaming. However, two years later, it does come across as sub-par. Nonetheless, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 will still appeal to fans of the first game. It has a stellar campaign, and a brand new leveling system, that expands throughout the various game modes, single-player or online. Then again, Vegas 2 does not introduce anything new in terms of visuals, gameplay and story. So if you did not like the first game, don't even bother.â… Expand

    The entire time I played this game, I felt like I was playing a Dreamcast game. Detail went into important things, yes, like the players and enemies. But where the designers missed is obvious. The world that surrounds you is a surreal cross-eyed version of a planet parallel to Earth, where ambulances have some red airbrushed on to the sides that may look like a red cross from several miles away, all bottles, cans, and containers have the same effect, minus legibility from far away, and the ground you walk on has trash and paper actually cemented to the ground.

    Decent game for the Tom Clancy fanboys or Tactical Gamers that want a new game to play. The campaign is really the only good part. Online is also mediocre at best. Major glitching issues and balance issues are a major problem. I must admit Terrorist Hunt on Xbox Live is addicting for about two weeks.

Its super buggy, enemies spawn out of nowhere in T-hunt and people take unfair advantage of the sprint function in online play, if I want to play COD4, I'll play COD4, but Rainbow Six is about tactics and stealth not running around like a jackass. But these are all trifles, the game is still really good, I really like some of the weapons and the cover system. Its just hard to justify buying this game, its not good or unique enough to differentiate itself from its kickass predecesor.

I won't lie, it isn't anywhere close to Call of Duty 4's graphics, but the important part is that they pull me in. Which the first one didn't and the this one did.

    A hell of a package. It's sort of a shame that so much of it is recycled from the last game, but nobody stops eating their favorite food because it's similar every time - and this is the Kobe beef of tactical FPS. [Apr 2008, p.80]

    Ubisoft has taken a huge gamble by not making wholesale changes to Rainbow Six Vegas 2, but it's come up smelling liike roses. It's still one of the very best-value, high-quality FPS packages available on the 360. [Apr 2008, p.72]

    Suffice it to say that if you enjoyed the first Rainbow Six: Vegas, then you will undoubtedly find considerable value in Vegas 2.
