Probably the Best Rainbow Six Game Yet...
User Rating: 8.8 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas X360
I'll admit I've never been a big Rainbow Six fan. The tactical shooting genre just always seemed kind of boring to me until recently. After playing G.R.A.W. and Gears of War I thought I'd give this game a shot. I am happy to say I wasn't disappointed at all. Vegas has all that I could ask for in an FPS plus more. The cover gameplay is tight and works extremely well. The many weapons all have a very different feel to them and can all be somewhat customized. The graphics are solid at best and just seem to have that kind of weird look that almost all Unreal 3 engine games seem to have although they still look good. I would also say the sound is on par with the graphics. The singleplayer story mode is definitely not worth the purchase if you don't have Xbox Live though. It's decently fun and does it's job but doesn't even compare to the amazingly awesome multiplayer. It's got all your basic game modes with many fun maps but the game modes that stick out for me is the cooperative terrorist hunts and the cooperative story missions with up to four players. There is just something really fun about teaming up with three people on Xbox Live and killing some terrorists. The ranking system is also a lot of fun and beats the crap out of Halo's lousy ranking system. Your rank never goes down and going up in the ranks actually has benefits like new weapons and armor. Which is nice but even if a Private and an Elite go head to head skill will almost always decide who wins in a match even if the better equipment helps. One thing that I absolutely hated about the multiplayer is that in sharpshooter(deathmatch) and team sharpshooter grenades have way too short of a fuse on them and if ones coming your way and your behind cover...BOOM your dead. Also the game has TONS of glitches and it seem I can't get through three matches without some ten year old who plays the game 24-7 and finds all these crazy wall glitches and starts killing me from somewhere I can't see. Otherwise this game lives up to its predecessors and is a mustbuy for any shooter fan.
