I should be picking up my 360 Elite this week and was wondering what everyone thought was better; Rainbow Six Vegas, GRAW2, or Gears of War. I only have the money for 1 game off the bat and I will have live.

 

Thanx for the help:)

I like pretty much everything there is, tactical, team based, mp, single player. The only thing I'm not as big a fan of is acrade like shooters.

Gears is small in tactical movement on MP, short SP, and when people starting getting into small clusters to have a shotgun fest... it can become very arcadey.

GRAW2 has a small SP, since it focuses mostly on MP.  MP is great, but IMO gets repetitive after a while.

R6V has a great SP (don't know personally... i am an MP guy myself; heard from others on this forum), and the game is heavy on being tactical and sticking with your team.  any sort of run-n-gun gameplay tactic will have you dead fast.  i would say R6V is your game.

Thanx, yea I'm looking at Rainbow Six because my friend has it on PS2 and I play online with him when I go to his house and it tends to be more tactical and not too many gltchers even in ranked. Thanks so far for all the advice from everyone and keep it coming=p

They're all superb, and arguably as good as each other, but I'd say GoW is the best game to show you just how powerful the 360 is.

G.R.A.W.= Fun, Frag em' up action not alot of whiney kids, fairly easy achievements, And if your favourite color is Turquoise your in luck.

 

Vegas= For a challenge and alot of replay value,Not that many whiny kids, fairly easy achievements.

 

GeOW=Amazing Co-Op, Good online,Basically Shotties and Snipers, Some whiney kids, fairly easy achievements,And if your favourite color is blood your especially in luck.

 

 Great Question though.

Well I really like how Gears looks but I LOVE team based shooters and can't stand when you get a bunch of idiots in your room that can't play the game and I'm afraid that Gears might have more of them then Rainbow Six

Single Player wise I found Rainbow 6 and Gears to be 2 of my favorites games. IMO Graw's single player was boring. So I would say Rainbow or Gears for singl player anway. What I really liked about Vegas was that on realistic difficulty it was very challenging, but when you get killed it's always your fault for doing something stupid, not because of cheap tactics to make the game seem more difficult.

Rainbow Six Vegas is just fun, it's the only multiplayer game I can play all day long.  I've been playing it for over 5 months.

Gears of War was sort of fun at first, it was just average and all it did was get more repetetive and boring as you played.

My 360 came with GRAW, I don't have GRAW 2.  The multiplayer was ok, I never got into it.  Like if I played a couple matches I'd be finished with it for the day.

Well I'm still split between the 2, if I can find the special edition Gears then I might get it. but also I want your opinions on Lost Planet too because I've played that demo alot and realy tend to like it.

Vegas or Gears. Graw 2 has a great SP, but imo the MP is pretty bad. Gears is faster paced but with more thinking involved (i know that sounds wierd, but trust me), and vegas is vegas. I can't really describe it. If you want a good SP then gears, if you care more about Mp I guess vegas is a drop better.

Vegas is awesome.  You can't beat the multiplayer.  The multiplayer in gears sucks in my opinion and I can't say anything about GRAW 2 bc I have never played it.

Lost Planet was never really that great for me, and although you haven't mentioned Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion that game is awesome too.

Gears, although the online is honestly pretty flawed. it's also strangely fun and addictive...

Gears of War. It's gory visuals and addictively fun gameplay just makes it the most enjoyable online experience. R6V is also great but just does not have that same appeal.

I have them all gears of war has the best multi plus single player hands down. rainbow six has very little story and is very short the multi player offers terrible graphics and annoying controls. graw 2 has a great story and is my preference over rainbow, but in all id have to say gears and that pretty much the concensus read any review

Rainbow Six without question. Best multiplayer on Xbox 360 HANDS DOWN, and the single player is very good too.
