I recently picked up Rainbow Six Vegas (The original) as some of you may know from previous blog posts for the PS3. I thought I would post some of my impressions of it seeing as how it was a port from 360 and later in years.

GRAPHICS:

The graphics really dont capture me at all. However in R6V's defense, it is a port from a game that came out some years ago. Looking back on the time it did come out it was most likely one of the most graphical beautiful games available. While Mexico levels look lack lustre and not so detailed, Sin City looks phenomenal and extremely detailed.

GAMEPLAY:

What can I say? The gameplay is downright fun. While im not so much into the feel of R6V in first person, the cover system keeps me comming back. I really like that you have to hold L1 to snap on. It makes me feel like I have control and can easily get away if I need to. Tactics run smooth. While the AI isnt anything to boast about, the amount of true tactics you can do with them is. Every thing from fast rope to rapel. As well as many different door entries.

CAMPAIGN:

Not much to say on it really. Its straight forward and down to the point. It does make you want to keep playing so thats a plus. The cliffhanger ending however is very unforgiving. Terrorist hunt is like a bot game were you can just kill tons of smart AI terrorist. Its challenging but good for co-op fun.

MULTIPLAYER:

Fun. Exactly what the game was meant for. Online is not only fun but exciting. Many different game modes create a unique feal of online gameplay. Ranking system is very fun and user friendly.

OVERALL:

If you have never played the game and are thinking about number 2. Check out 1 first. You can find it at a really low price and it is well worth it. Especially because the online community is still going strong. Check the game out!
