Fantastic Game, It is a challenging yet rewarding game. Easily the best tactical shooter for the PS3.
On the topic of the use of cover it does this with absolute perfection. Switching in between first and third person perspective is simply perfect and seamless. It also adds a nice dimension to game it is really intense to hear the shots flying over you and watch your character react. The sounds in the game are simply top notch as well. The sound effects really add to the intensity of the game. It makes you feel that you are really inside a Vegas casino. The only thing is that the terrorists have a really limited vocabulary. They also have a tendency to give away their position too easily but this is a minor complaint. The AI in this game especially of your teammates is amazing they act and react well to all the commands which are simple to give simply by touching the "X" button. They can be really helpful and are also for the most part good shots. The enemy Ai is also very good while not quite as good as your teams. The only real downside to game is the Sixaxis parts. The snake camera and the sixaxis are kind of annoying. They feel tacked on and are a little unwieldily and not very precise. They are the only downside to an otherwise stunning game. The visuals are beautiful in the game. The setting of Las Vegas is a great choice for the game. As a user of a 1080i t.v I can attest that it plays great and suffers no frame rate issues. This is a great hope for the PS3. In conclusion Rainbow Six Vegas improves dramatically in all aspects over the last installment of the game which was rather terrible. If you are a PS3 owner and enjoy tactical shooters, modern shooters this is a must buy for you.
