Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas (PC Games, 2006)

PC Game FPS Review: Rainbow Six Vegas

This game is one of the best first person shooters out there! You get some very unique play control including a corner view for shooting around corners, a duck and cover button where your player hides behind cover, repelling ropes that let you latch onto railings and descend down buildings, and most importantly, you get thermal graphic and night vision goggles. There are some really great places where you can throw a smoke grenade down and then using the goggles, see the enemy by their body heat!

The weapons are very customizable so you can even get a fully automatic silenced sniper rifle. You can pick up any dropped weapon you find so the environment is very fast paced and there is more action than in any of the other Rainbow Six games.

After a couple hours of playing this multiplayer, I was completely impressed. This game has everything a First Person Shooter could dream of. All those little things you wish the other games had, this has it and more. Shooting around corners, repelling down the side of building, peeking under the door with a camera, thermal vision, lootable weapons and ammo, and even NPC that swear during the campaign! (if the game maturity setting allows)

I don't think I need to say any more. Just get it!

PROS – Completely unique perspectives and game play controls in a brilliantly designed world.
CONS – Steep learning curve to get used to the feel of the game, takes nice hardware.

I had this game on PreOrder for almost 2 months, and it was worth the wait. I have never played any of the Rainbow Six games in the past so I cannot compare this to the other titles, but this is a really fun game. This game combines strategy and a shooter together to make a very fun and difficult game.

The graphics are very clear and are everything a 3rd gen game should look like at this point. The sounds in this game is very cool when you hook your PS3 up to a good sound system.

The story modes and multiplayer make this games replay value very high, I will probably hold onto this game for a while because of that. I don't play on-line but you can build you character up the better you play and that looks fun. The map function in this game works well and you can navigate through areas easliy because of this. The game is really fun when you have your team with you because you can order them around and it helps you stay alive in the mission. The enemy AI is really good, and its tough to get through the missions without being killed.

Flaws: some flaws in terms of gameplay. I noticed a few gliches or flaws in the programing. You can only maintain one story mode per user-which sucks if you have someone else who wants to start a story mode-you have to log off and switch users. Vegas in not the setting for a some of the gameplay, so don't expect to rome up and down the strip in the story mode. The on-line has lots of flaws but a patch should fix it in the future.

Should I buy this game?
In short yes. As of right now the titles on PS3 are still slim, so this is an elite game for this system. Tons of games come out over the summer and into the holiday season but few I think can/will be as fun as this game. The game is worth buying if you have a tight budget on games because you can replay it with friends or on-line if you beat the story mode. If you have money to blow on games you already have this game or you should go get a copy.

Overall this game gets an A
It was everything the early reviews said about the game and more.

Have fun-hope you enjoy the game.

I bought this because i am a die hard Tom Clancy fan. I love FPS's and Rainbow Six games.

Pros:
-Great game
-Outstanding visuals
-Gets your adrenaline going
-Its tough and is a challenge even for FPS experts

Cons:
-The system requirements for this game (PC only) are unbeliveably HIGH. It really affects your gameplay if you arent completely up to date with todays top-of-the-line hardware.


I recommend this game to anyone who loves tom clancy games.

I love this game. It's hard to find a game where you and your buddies can play co op in story mode. I have three pc's at home networked and I played this game with my son and my brother. The graphics are decent and gameplay is pretty fun with human players. There are plenty of nice rifles, shotguns, pistols etc. to help you get rid of those nasty terrorists. I like the enemy lines of dialog. if you speak Spanish, you're gonna die laughing at the stupid stuff the enemy says in Spanish in the Mexican maps. The only problem with this game is the lag when you play online, even in a peer to peer network. Other than that, I recommend it. I know I will play it for quite a while...also, since this game came out in 2006, you can buy it really cheap.

Fast delivery, transaction without problems, recommend seller. *****************************************************
