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

Advantages: Great graphics, storyline and sound effects
Disadvantages: Not that much different to the first in he series

...Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is actually a really good game! The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen, and the controls are really easy to use. The storyline is very realistic and runs on from Rainbow Six Vegas very smoothly. I was really impressed with all the functions there are, and the amount of flexibility there is in the way which you do the missions. The only one fault is its similarity to the first game, Rainbow Six Vegas. The two are barely indistinguishable from each other, apart from the chronology of the story line. Other than that, it is an absolutley great game. The graphics are really sharp, and the most minute details of the characters and environment have been taken into account by the makers. The sound effects are really great too, especiallly if you own a surround sound system, you really feel like you... 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 shooter to a third person. Which therfore eradicates the need for the cinematic cutscenes. This is instead shown through planning your moves ahead. Also, you very much rely on cover to generate your health back up, this is very similar to the Halo 2 and Gears of War health system. Now Ubisoft have enhanced the oppositions artificial intellegence, therfore making it a much harder game... Read review

Advantages: relaxing, good graphic.
Disadvantages: quite hard.

...Mid 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 games that released at the same time. Ubisoft really has achieved a great success with their series. In the single player’s campaign, you’ll be Logan Keller, leader of a special squad of three, fighting against terrorism. They started the mission just after failing to take the terrorists down in Mexico. For some reason, they change their target to casinos and big hotels in Las Vegas... Read review

Advantages: Great plot, location and graphics. Simple gameplay, point and shoot.
Disadvantages: None.

...I couldn't wait for Rainbow six Vegas 2 to arrive when it was released on the 21st March. I had pre-ordered the limited edition steel book version from play.com at the price of £39.99. The steel book case is very well presented and worth the price, most games are £39.99 anyway so I was on to a winner getting the limited edition version. After taking off the wrapper, the case had a cardboard sleeve around it, after slipping it off revealing the metal case I was really pleased with how good the steel case looked. On opening the case I was surprised again, what I didn't know was that the limited edition game came with a bonus DVD. I'm not one for spending time reading instructions before I start playing games, the good thing about games like Rainbow six is that they are not complicated in anyway. The plot of the game follows... Read review

Disadvantages: price

...Rainbow six Vegas Xbox360 Review Rainbow six is one of the longest running game titles to date, there has been so many games with this name that it was beginning to become a little old and gameplay was dated. However, rainbow six Vegas has broken the mould in this respect- this is totally new rainbow six with some of the best tactical gameplay to date- especially on the xbox 360- only rivaled by gears of war and advanced war-fighter. Gameplay- there are numerous ways of tackling each situation, though some are better than others. You face a group of terrorists and often have to go through room to room of them. Ways in which to enter the room vary- through a window, through two doors (you have a team), through a skylight etc. Using scopes which can see under doors helps you to plan your entry and form of attack whether its to smoke...

...Rainbow Six Vegas - XBOX 360 this has got to be the best rainbow six to date, from what i have heard on all platforms, but from my own experience, on the xbox 360 it beats the others i have played. There are so many rainbow six games out there, but this is definately on another level. The idea, is a shoot em up, following a team through a wide variety of levels, with a great story. Its a reasonable difficulty, with good fun trying to achieve ranks online. But the best part, of this game to me is the interaction with your team mates, the way you can instruct them to do a huge variety of tasks i think is brilliant, storming doors, with options of clearing, breach and clear, moce in silently, i think its great Multiplayer is good fun, and the things you unlock, are great, the different combinations you can have with your...

...- This is the equivalent of the training mission, since althought it is challenging at first, it allows the player to geta grip of the controls before really throwing them into the action. Las Vegas Strip - The Las Vegas strip enables the player to fight alongside 3 other members of Rainbow Six and into the casino. In this episode the player will have to take on numerous enemy charges, mounted guns and suprise flank attacks! Calypso Casino - The casino is full of bright lights, luxurious decoration and ambient sound. This is a brilliant level and absolutely huge! Although it is challenging, it is well worth the playtime! Skyscraper - This level makes the most of the new moves available in Rainbow Six - Vegas. The player is able to rappel (absail) down the side of the building while viewing the city of Las Vegas in beautfiul 360 graphics... Read review

Disadvantages: Some missions can be very frustrating

...Right from the word go, you know this game is aiming for realism, a rarity in the first person shooter genre, and with the name Tom Clancy associated, you know the storyline is going to be as seamless and solid as any you are going to find. The year is 2001, the former parts of the Soviet Union are in disarray, war has broken out in dozens of hotspots around the world, and terrorist organisations are springing up everywhere, causing chaos with weapons and organisation beyond their means. Enter Rainbow, a covert international counter terrorist unit operating out of 22nd SAS HQ in Hereford, counting members of the elite anti terrorism units from around the world in their membership. They are NATO’s best hope of preventing the spread of these wars into the West, ultimately leading to a world war. The on screen story starts in New York... Read review
