    Este jogo é incrível! Eu recebi e ainda não posso parar de jogar. Os gráficos são tão detalhadas para um game e é desafiador, mas divertido e terá que jogar por horas! A história é complexa e profundamente pensado. O melhor jogo que eu já joguei de forma

    Fun enough in SP but who buys a Clancy tactical shooter to play alone? The box is clearly marked "Multiplayer co-op 2-10", but when you get all 4 of your gang together and load up the game, you learn that it only supports TWO players in co-op story mode. How lame is that.

    Buggy, Buggy, Buggy. With an online that feels reminisent to "Lockdown" all over again, with bugs that have carried over from Vegas 1 . My opinion is Rushed, more of the "SAME", and should have been an expansion pack for $20 u.s. at MOST.
    Ubisoft may turn into another EA before EA buys them out. Scary for us gamers and consumers.

    The controls were just at sticky and imprecise as the first game, not worthy of a sequel.

    Graphics are sub-par (looks very old). Audio programming is atrocious. Physics is bad. I can shoot through wooden crates & such but can't throw grenades through glass windows.

    I bought the game cuz I loved the 1st Vegas game. All this game left me is a sour taste. This game was rushed out the door so Ubi can rake in moolah without care for gamers. Go play COD4 you'll like it more!

    Mediocre at best. I bought this on release day and expect a great game that will get alot of longevity out of it. Instead I got a seemly rushed game with graphics that cannot compare to CoD4 or even Halo 3. The controls are simple and fine. The Co-Op can be fun, but even with another player in Co-Op you must drag those AI around with you the entire time, I'd rather have 3 otherMediocre at best.

    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.
    You might get a month or so out of this game if you are hardcore Tom Clancy gamers, other than that it is a Rent at best.    … Expand

    It plays annoyingly fun , the tactical theme is somewhat improved but slyly . The graphics are dated, but fine enough. Rainbow Six is not beater of the multilayer, neither a single player landmark, actually they do it nice and decent.

    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.

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

    I agree with wardieboy that it should have been an expansion pack but it is a huge step up from the original vegas. I especcialy like thefull character customization and improved multiplayer gaming but i also liked playing with the same people more than once rather than finding a new mathc eery time i want to play.

    A decent sequel, the new maps are amazing, but the weapons are still a bit old, and no matter how hard you work to unlock new ones, the ones you start with are just as powerful, and more than likely just as or more accurate, but this game is still worth buying, especially if you enjoyed the original RB6V.

    Plays exactly the same as the original, yet the level designs are bland and uninspired. This game is nothing but Ubisoft cashing in quick. Don't get me wrong it's fun to play, but should have been released as an ($40) expansion pack.

    Don't Listen to the other gamers giving this a 0 and 4, that is untrue. The gameplay, graphics and online play have been improved hugely due some minor alterations. True the game has not been massively changed but the levels are completely different and the story is the best from any games I have played before! The multiplayer and terrorist hunt put this well above COD4 for me. Don't Listen to the other gamers giving this a 0 and 4, that is untrue.

    I was hoping for at least some improved graphics in this game but I am really disappointed. After playing COD4 this feels like a big step backwards. It is just more of the same and it should have been released as an expansion pack. Rather than pushing out a FPS game every six months (GRAW & R6V) Ubisoft should focus on quality and not quantity. W e are not sony fanboys after all.

    Very happy they did not change much from its predecessor. Finally a Developer which is thinking about the whole picture; adding level ups for everything in the game, Yay! I would give it a 10 but I was expecting more apparel to be added. The single player is much more interesting than before too.

    Smooth performance, fierce gameplay. For such a graphically rich game with plenty of moments where a lot of people, gunfire and explosions are onscreen at once this game runs silky smooth. Whether you are in campaign or multiplayer, the game has very little trouble keeping up. There are very few moments when the game

    Actually a 7.5! I used to love the original Vegas 1, but 2 left me with mixed feelings. The story mode is good with a fair amount of challenge. Terrorist hunt is alot better in 2 than vegas 1.

The other maps just don't make you get hooked on playing for 6 hours like the last vegas. The new gameplay modes are fun for a short time, but after that... you're looking for something else to do. The matchmaking is extremely played out. When the 360 didn't have many shooters it was ok, and we got used to it. But know I get bored sitting in a room with people talking about nothing for long periods of time. Maybe i'm just spoiled by the recent crop of shooter games we received from last year. I was able to notice too many flaws with the game. From freezing, to loosing control of my squadmates, to extreme frame drops, and a list of other problems. I kind of with they had have waited on vegas 2, and remade the game from scratch. I have honestly been considering trading R6:Vegas 2 in, since 2 hours after I bought it. But my live friends keep trying to get me to keep it. I don't know if this game will last another week with me, cause I already rarely ever play it!… Expand

The single player story is very short even on Realistic setting its not much challenge. The multiplayer is average but the host thing is really poor and the game seems very laggy. If COD4 wasn

    Meh. It was fun, but I've played so many better FPS titles on the 360 that its hard to justify buying this game when its basically the same exact game, except easier. The first one required a lot of command on your allies part, this time around I found my self doing most of the work, not to mention how ACES rewarded me for not letting my allies get any kills, what's up with that.Meh.

And its short, even on realistic, ignoring, my buddies my first run through was only six hours. 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. Also, you didn't fight in as many casinos, that was a real letdown I mean come on, that's what Vegas is all about, right?… Expand

    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]
