just got an xbox 360.. beat gears (which was as amazing as it has been hyped up to be and worth the console purchase already!), awaiting madden and halo3.. need a nice long game to tide me over and take advantage of live with.. which is the better buy and has more lasting value?? which do you reccommend? any other suggestions are welcome...
Rainbow Six Vegas is longer and possibly more visually impressive where GRAW2 is short but paced with big action scenes, so if you are looking for campaign longevity then Six is your disc. I would opt to get both if you can however.
Online I can speak highly of RSV since I play fairly often (though not so well) and every match is a blast, fun and munition wise. The cover system is the same as it is in single player as are all other aspects and this means if you can play campaign you can play online with little learning curve; the same can not be said of GRAW2 which feels very different in multi-player. GRAW2 I have tried to get into online but as yet have not managed, half because I spend so much time in Vegas online and half because I do not like the feel of the gameplay despite absolutely loving it's campaign mode.
If you enjoy tight area tactical battle in (mostly) short explosive bursts then you'll want Rainbow, however if you prefer large scale battles with lots of action in quick succession then the short but sweet GRAW2 fits the bill.
Never played either but I'd pick R6 based on the opinions of people up at 360monster.com - They also seem to indicate the online community is better there but that might be just be opinion rather than fact ;)
Rainbow Six is a better game all around, and the online is much better. Graw 2 has a good futuristic feel but at points during online play it just feels weird. Rainbow Six also has a better ranking system where you have to level up to unlock certain costumes and weapons.
