...December last year, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas had been released right after the release of its brother Lockdown in the beginning of the year. Just as usual, Vegas land on Xbox first (which makes PC or other consoles fans disappointed because they have to wait for long time before the same version appears on their consoles). Gamespot immediately gave Rainbow Six Vegas 8.7 (out of 10) without any hesitation. The point which is in dream of other ...

...face on the character created. Rainbow Six Vegas has a system that gives you points as you play missions. The more you get the higher your level and the better you're guns (and that's what it's all about). So I was ready to go against real people and actually watch myself get shot. Attack and Defend Right my first game was attack and defend, I was defending in Calypso Casino (one of the many multiplayer maps which take reference from the single ...
...stealing some package. Well it didn't go well, choosing the M60 was probably not a good idea (You just shoot the roof). They stole the package within 2 minutes. Something annoying then happened they wait for the full 10 minute match before going to win because they gat more points. So I didn't play that again Survival and Team Survival The second game I played was a game of survival, I had a rapid fire shotgun it's impressive, the greatest panic ... Read review

Tom Clancys Rainbow Six is now the sixth edition of the renown games. You are part of a new team assembled to take back Las Vegas from a group of terrorists. From the first moment you play this game you can tell it has been made on the Unreal Engine 3.0. This is probably the best gaming engine for the next-gen games. The new Rainbow Six game has undergone many changes. Some more obvious than others like the game-play changing from a first person ...
...after time on the other Rainbow six games i have run out of bullets and i find myself trapped with nowhere to go and consequently dieing and having to start the level again. Although that would encourage better tactics on my part. Another addition to the game is in the form of multiplayer. You can now choose the equipment you want, you even have the choice of adding extra accesories onto your guns. Also, they have added some new multiplayer games ... Read review

...the rainbow six team, Terrorists take control of Las Vegas, and plant bombs around the city. Rainbow six are called in to take out the terrorists and defuse the bombs. As you get more into the game, it moves away from Vegas and moves to a small town in Nevada, where terrorists have taken control of an oil refinery. The graphics on rainbow six are probably the best I have seen on the Xbox 360. This instalment of rainbow six has been improved from the first Vegas. You can still order your soldiers to another area, and order them to stack up at doors and send them in to clear rooms. Now there is an enhanced ' cover and shoot' where you can take cover behind items and either fire blindly or target your opponent. There is also a point scoring system where you unlock rewards as you play. There are 3 different categories that you can score points... Read review

Advantages: Brillaint game play, extremely realistic, good graphics, well thought out story line.
Disadvantages: none

...Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was the first game that i purchased for Xbox 360. Now i have to say, I am not one for first person shooters, but when were talking about this game i have a whole different view point. I was expecting an extremely dissapointing experience but it was quite the opposite. The graphics of this game are some of the best I have ever seen on a games console and it is an extremely realistic game unlike other first person shooters such as Halo 3. This game is one of the best i have ever played online which meant I was completely addicted. It has a well laid out story line which is not complicated and monotonous which i have found to be the let down in most other first person shooters. Another good aspect of the game is the fact that you can hide up against walls and peak round the corner and shoot the enemy before... Read review

...A very good first person shooter for tom clancy to add under his belt he shows how to trueley play a great game the powwer int he game i very well but it is based on the slowly ageing unreal engine which unfortunalty limits to a degree which is a realy shame. as i am guessing you are getting this for the 360 it is great offline. so dont worry if you do not have live but i would be lying if i said you were not missing anything out if you did not play online. it is the best fps i hve played online recently and easily outstripps call of duty 4 which yes you may say is ver
