Vegas. Home of the famed Strip, playground of celebrities, vacation spot for over 36 million people a year, and ground zero for a terrorist threat that threatens the entire world. Team Rainbow makes its next-gen debut in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas. With a new leader and a new team, tactics are key this time. Utilize the unique skills of each squad member as you navigate real-life Vegas environments. Team members give real-time tactical ideas and real-time mission briefings arrive in the middle of combat. Enemy AI gets more sophisticated as you move deeper into the terrorist cell. In other words, the stakes for Team Rainbow have never been higher...

thank you,

The Rainbow Six series is well known as one of the forerunners of tactical, one-hit, one-kill shooters. Rainbow Six Vegas is the latest member of the series, and shakes up the formula a bit while still keeping the same general concept behind the game.

Vegas puts you inside the body of Logan Keller, a newly appointed squad leader within Team Rainbow - the world's finest anti-terrorist group. The game starts out in Mexico in a prologue that sets the stage, but quickly moves to its primary location: Las Vegas. Throughout the campaign, you'll be taking part in standard anti-terror operations: hostage rescue, bomb defusing, information gathering, and simple "kill the bad guys".

To accomplish this, you lead a squad consisting of two other men. You have a command system that's basically a cleaned-up version of that in previous Rainbow Six games. You can order your men to follow you, or you can have them go to move to a specific place. Your two comrades move as a pack - there's no way to order them two different places, but between the two of them and the one of you, you can do quite a bit of flanking of the bad guys. If there's cover near their destination, your team will get behind it. This doesn't always work very well, however, since you usually end up with one guy behind cover while the other simply stands out in the open. Needless to say, this can get annoying, so you need to be really careful about where you tell your team to go. Fortunately, your teammates are made of some very strong stuff. If they get killed, you have a roughly 30-second window to get over to them and give them a shot. If you reach them in time, they'll happily pop back on their feet without a single injury. If you don't get to them in time, it's game over for everyone. This makes the game much more forgiving, since you don't have to worry about losing your entire team for the rest of the level just because of a single stupid mistake.

On a more personal level, there are a number of changes to your character. In a break from the typical Clancy realism, Vegas features a regenerating health system a la Gears of War. If you get shot, your screen starts to blacken. If you manage to get behind cover, your health will slowly return to normal, and you'll be good to go. If you keep getting shot, though, you die, and there's no "magical injection" that revives you like it does your teammates. This system makes the game much less frustrating, since you no longer have to worry about a single injury crippling you for the rest of the level. You can afford to stick your head into danger every once in a while, since you'll be fine if get behind cover when you're shot.

So therefore I say, BUY THE FRICKIN' GAME!!!!!

Well i played the game and its a good challenge...the story and graphics are greate... THE GRAPCHICS ARE GREATTTT
Give it a try, you may end up playing it more than you imagine...

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas has to be one of the best online games that I have played. The maps in the game all have their special features. The weapons in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas are very similar to the weapons in GRAW(Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare). The ranking system is based on real army rankings, as you play online your character will move up in the ranks. And as he/she does this you will get new weapons, armor, and clothing. Anybody that has a Xbox 360 and you are waiting for GRAW 2, you have to buy this game.

You have gotta play this game. The Graphics, controls, enviroment interaction is the best that I've seen yet. Stop asken questions about it and go get it. Rent it, buy it just go get it.

Again another great Clancy game!!! Graphics are great depth of game play awesome, single player mode is fantastic, but the multi-player game just makes this game blow up!!! If you have xbox live you need this game!!

Another edition of the Rainbow six game and I must say this one is spot on. Tom Clancy: Rainbow six Vegas is a very good game. I thought when I first put the game in I was going to be deploying in the heart of Sin city, which is just not the case. The Story on this one is good. It appears they took some time to put it out there. First Mexico then Vegas. The game starts out throwing you right into the mix, but not to tough, gives you some time to get the feel for the game taking cover, firing moving your team around. Once you know the basics you better be ready to be on your toes. I played it on the Realistic difficulty and it had me angry more than once, so you best keep your head down if you plan to live. The graphics are pretty cool and some of the hotels you will notice when you fly over head like the Fountains at Bellagio and such. some of the lighting seems a bit odd, but I am being picky graphics are 7 out of 10 gameplay is 8 out of 10 replay value is 10 out of 10.. I really enjoyed playing this one.

Multiplayer.

This is very fun on xboxlive, but I have notice some very laggy spots every once in a while, but you can get through it.. when you start out you can jump right into the action there are pvp co-op story and co-op terrorist hunt, The maps are pretty good, lots of places to hide and get kills, but a lot of the missions are team based and if you like to be the solo hero well you are in for a rude awakening. online I notice that some of the guns have terrible range and accuracy, but I guess it is to give it that real life feel.

multiplayer 8.5 out of 10

Overall Grade 8.6 out of 10

good game I think it should be in your own video games, very very fun!

This game is sweeeeet! everything I wanted it to be. I love shooters and this one is very realistic but keeps the game fun (like not dieing every five seconds) although there is also a realistic mode for more hardcore gamers who want the challenge of being shot once and dieing. This game is not for the casual gamer, you can die very easily and if your not somewhat good at shooter games then you will die very often. all in all, this game is amazing, great graphics, and fun/realistic gameplay.

Rainbow Six: Vegas is a very fun single-player game, but it really shines with multiplayer online gameplay with XBox Live. The online gaming community centered around this game is extremely competitive, and quite addicting. The graphics are generally great.

Quite possibly one of the best shooters I've ever played. Loads of fun. Especially terrorist hunt. The AI is amazing,as they will try everything in their power to flank you and gain the upper hand. The only flaw in the AI is they will use smoke grenades when they have no thermal vision, giving the player the advantage. But the game play options are great, hugging walls, blind firing,and all the other usual goodies. It being a next gen game, the graphics are second to none. And there is no satisfaction like landing a head-shot and seeing the pink spray. There is some replay value and multiplayer is the way to go.

it is far too addictive and is ruining my life. so awesome. such an incredible time waster... is that sunshine i see outside? Just one more frag and i'll go out...

This game is so much fun, especially in HD. The online multiplayer is top tier, you will be pressed to put the controller down!

This Game rocks....A+ Ive spent hours on it and I cant stop...I feel More Like a Hunter rather than the huntee, Awesome Detail with sounds and graphics to match

The thing that I like the most about Rainbow Six: Vegas is that it is set in Las Vegas. IMHO you can play one Rainbox Six game and you've played them all. But this one shakes up the scenery and gives you some gorgeous visuals. I will say that I don't think this game is for everyone. It is definitely for a lot of people but there will be some that don't like how hard the game is and how monotonous it can feel level after level. The great thing about Vegas though is it's robust online multiplayer experience that keeps you playing by giving you higher ranks the more you play, which then lead to you getting better armor, clothes, and guns. Oh yeah, the maps are very well done and the gameplay modes play great with the games mechanics.

Highs: Rich and rewarding multiplayer experience. Crazy good graphics with good framerate. It's fun having large-scale shootouts in casinos...with terrorists, controls are well done, has a good cover system.

Lows: Horrid horrid horrid voice acting, AI isn't that smart but the game is hard (which means something is up), Shooting a guy 3 times in the foot will send him limping to the ground dead (and no, he didn't get the clue the first two times I shot his foot), gameplay feels recycled so there's nothing new and fresh, if you are really good at tactical shooters, you will beat this game in two sittings.

And Finally: Wow I had a lot of negatives for a game I really like. Tough love? My only gripe that really matters is Vegas adds nothing new from a gameplay perspective that isn't in all of the other tactical shooting games. But what matters is the game is fun and you will get a lot out of it if you play it online.

I must say that having not picked up a Rainbow Six game in nearly five years, I was not planning on buying this title until I downloaded the demo.

Completely revamped from previous outings and the new improved duck and cover system makes for some of the most intense shootouts seen on the console (on par with Gears of War in this respect). The array of weapons is satisfactory, but what's more impressive is the customization allowed, want a laser sight on your shotgun? I'm pretty sure you could do it if you want.

Only real downside I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be any way to play split screen multiplayer over XBox Live. I have heard rumors that this is just a glitch and may be patched, since the manual (in all it's miniscule glory) seems to allude to the ability to do this, though the two sentences in the manual that explain how to do this are vague at best. Other high points are the environments (much bigger than previous efforts) and the team command control. Now that everything is context sensitive, you need only send your team to a door, where they will wait until you determine what action they should perform (breach door, smoke door, flash bang door) using the D-Pad.

The game takes away all the micro-management of previous entries and has simplified everything in this respect, making the experience all that more immersive. Casual shooter fans may be discouraged by the high level of difficulty, even on normal mode (Realistic mode provides a nice challenge for the seasoned veteran). I could go on, but suffice it to say this game is a top 5 for the Xbox 360 library for sure.

This is a very great game. The single player actually has a good storyline unlike the other Rainbow Six's and the multiplayer is AMAZINGLY fun. Just being able to change the armer, camo's, and guns so cool because you can be look different unlike in Halo 2 or Gears of War where everyone has the same people and the same faces. Coming from a kid, trust me this game is awesome!

THE GAME IS ALSOME.THE GRAPHICS ARE COOL AND THE ACTION IN THE GAME IS LIKE A MOVE.
IT HAS GOOD SOUND EFFECTS AND ALOT OF ACTION.

This game is fast hard hitting killing fun. There isnt a better game like this out there sure there are new versions of this game but my clan uses Las Vegas 1 all the time.

THE GRAFFICS ARE SICK... AND THE GAME PERIOD IS TIGHT. PLAYING ONLINE UP TO 14 PLAYERS IS REALLY SICK THOUGH?
