After playing Vegas 1, this game is miles ahead and a lot more fun. I am now hooked on tactical shooters..
This game is just fun and it more than just a point and shoot. You MUST be smart about your game play to get through on the harder difficulty. If you bust into the wrong room too aggressively, the bad guys will be cleaning your brains off of the walls. You also get points for different types and methods of kills which get you higher ranks and better weapons. Vegas 1 did not have this type of scoring and it really adds something extra to the game. You start to think about HOW you want to take a guy out so that you can advance in rank rather than just taking him out.
Game play is a bit more refined as well and it an improvement over Vegas 1. All in all, I can see myself playing the game more than once through in order to unlock new weapons and such. This is something that I also did not plan to do on Vegas 1.
The good: It kicks arse and the scoring system is vastly improved.
The bad: Uhhh.....well.....I don't know yet.
