Finally, Rainbow Six: Vegas for the PS3 is upon us. After what seemed an endless torrent of delays, the tactical shooter is finally here; and its nothing short of amazing. From the beginning of the game, you are dropped in an intense shoot-out between you and mexican terrorists that are holding people hostage. The gameplay is simply amazing, and the AI is extremely intelligent. You can' just run in, guns blasting, or you'll find yourself dead in less than 10 seconds. You have to learn to use your squad members, whatever cover you can get, distraction techniques, smoke grenades, flashbangs, everything and anything you can use to your advantage. You squad mates are somewhat intelligent, and they have some random lines of dialog that keep you entertained. E.x "Anyone keeping score" after they kill someone. Audio needed more work, especially when you receive video messages that are louder than anything in the game. Other than that, guns sound realistic, flashbangs make your ears ring, and you can hear enemies moan in their last seconds before death. You also hear people's dialogues through walls, and the voice acting sounds fairly realistic. The single-player campaign is all nice and neat, but multiplayer is where the ps3 version shines above. Included with your nice purchase of the game, you get all the map packs released for the xbox360 (red & black pack) and the new multiplayer game modes. Multiplayer is a blast, but the voice chat could use some more work. I dont wanna play with the fear that my teammates voice can blow a hole in my speakers.
All in all, if you havent played this game on the 360 or PC, it's definitely worth getting. The single-player mode should keep you busy for a day or two, and the multiplayer will keep you occupied for at least a couple of maps. Ubisoft actually did really well with this port, and it sure wont dissapoint you.
