RS:V marks a new high water mark for level design. In particular, the fictional casinos painstakingly designed and built for this game are beautiful -- it is clear that real-world interior designers were involved, as the details are all spot on. The asian-themed casino would be a great blueprint for an actual casino design, featuring gorgeous lighting, materials, textures, elevations, and props such as the dragon columns that breathe flower pedals out onto the casino floor, Japanese style Zen rock gardens, and brass Buddah's throughout the casino. The outdoor levels are equally well designed, in both the campaign and the multiplayer modes. The gameplay is all there, and the way cover is handled is my favorite of all recent titles (including Gears of War). The visuals are excellent, the audio is great, and overall the game is top-notch production in every way. You should buy this title.
