Game of the year! More gameplay value than Gears of War, and graphics just as good. This is a must own!
Don't let this fool you though, even thought they have taken away pre-entry planning, and character team selection, this game still packs a lot of realism. A few hits from a bullet, and your down for good. The realistic difficulty is amazingly hard, enemies are accurate, they suppress and flank. Planning still often used to find multiple entry ways to clear a room. Rappelling down buildings, and learning when to use silencers and when not to.
The graphics are amazing in this game, almost as good as Gears of War, though it is dummed down a bit in multiplayer. The sound will blow you socks off, and the gun models are amazing. The selection of guns and attachments may be enough to make you die from a happy seizure. Then there's the multiplayer. 16 people online, with realistic damage, and all the guns and cover system in single player. The normal modes, death match, team death match. Also added is the classic Rainbow Six Team survivor and Survivor, where if you die, you are forced to wait for the next round. This adds a whole new layer of tension to the game. Rainbow Six Vegas also supports 4 players CO-OP, even rivaling Gears of War. It supports 4 players, split screen or over Xbox Live. It allows you to play the whole Story Mode, or a mode call Terrorist Hunt, where you find and kill randomly placed terrorists. Rainbow Six Vegas's CO-OP adds a un-presidented level to CO-OP play. Imagine you are in a casino, playing with your buddies. There is a room up ahead, you move up, and find a second door. You can take command and order 2 of your buddies to the second door. Then find out who has a breaching charge, and who's going to throw the frag grenade. You count down 3, 2, 1, the breaching charge goes off. You chuck a grenade inside, and you quickly rush in after it explodes. Then suddenly you find yourself face to face with 4 terrorists that didn't die from the grenade. Suddenly your buddy that entered from the other door kills them all, and saves your life. The whole thing happening in less than 5 seconds. That is just a normal encounter in Rainbow Six Vegas CO-OP.
Now of course Rainbow Six has its faults, the story line is seriously lacking,
And the game is a tad short, but really not many people care. Quality of quantity they always say, and Rainbow Six delivers just that. Hey what’s better than rushing into a casino in Las Vegas, and shooting terrorists in the face. This is gaming at its best.
