Still one of the best shooters out for the Xbox 360 even a year after its introduction.
User Rating: 9.7 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas X360
I honestly don't know where to begin; this is such an amazing game. Though Rainbow Six is based in tactical shooting, it still maintains quick pace to keep things interesting. The single player campaign is awesome, and beating it on realistic, though very hard, is one of the most satisfying experiences to be had on the 360. Though almost a year old, the multiplayer field is still well populated and for good reason. The multiplayer experience is very deep here as well. Character customization is great, and the slight RPG elements are only outdone by the great RPG integration in CoD4. The cover system really stands out in my mind when thinking of RS. Though a cover system may seem like a small thing, the way it is integrated into both the single and multi-player experience in Rainbow Six makes it a very fun and interesting ingredient in the RS formula. This cover system is very cool, and it makes cover systems from games like GRAW and GoW look antiquated and awkward. Overall just a great game. The only down side to Rainbow Six at this point is that it is soon to be succeeded by the eagerly anticipated Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.
