Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (PC, 2008)

For this game's release date, it is quite a good title. The excitement when playing the game is at quite a high level to say the least, and even on a large monitor for the PC platform, the graphics are still quite stunning, though a bit dated in appearance for mid 2009. The storyline is nothing special, but what sticks out is the game play experience. The duck and cover system of the game is similar to that of Gears of War (not surprising; the game is made on the Unreal 3 engine, likewise to Gears). This type of game play feels quite smooth and well fitted for a shooter, and the first person perspective is well blended with the third through the cover system.
One significant downside is the fact that the AI of this game is much less respectable in comparison to other games of this caliber. Although the graphics and game play are quite astounding, this hiccup in the coding can be quite annoying at times, and has cost the game's overall rating from an 'excellent' to be recessed to a 'good'. Besides the less than respectable artificial intelligence, for the price, this game is quite enjoyable and should not be passed up.

I got one copy as a gift, and decided to buy another one for LAN.

Pros: Very nice graphics, very smart AI, 90% destructible environment, customizable character, smooth game play.

Cons: Not for computers barely making the minimum requirements, Not better than Call of Duty 4, Online matchmaking is sub par,AI team mates are a joke.

Most people who have played any kind of game are familiar with the Rainbow Six series of games. This is in my opinion one of the best additions to it so far. The gameplay seems a little more difficult then on a gaming system but with a little practice you can level the field.

Its a great game. If you like first person shooters you will certainly love this game. My only issue is the AI enemies have an uncanny ability to come around the corner shooting exactly at the spot your standing in. Having been to Iraq a few times I can tell you this unlikely to happen in real life. However, games are games and you get more than once chance, thats what makes it fun.

You'll like this game!

This game has many of the fun features the first one did, but with easier squad control and more customization of your main character! Graphics and sound are smooth (script doesn't sound corny) and is overall a fun game. It did get a 9.25 out of 10 on Game Informer.

I'm not a big time gamer, but I do like a good FPS game and this one is good, your AI counterparts are able to think for themselves, there is plenty of action and the graphics are decent in my opinion and from time to time the game or the way your enemies come at you will change and that is at times a big surprise!
