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.
