Great multiplayer customization and modes. Single player is exciting but the story is not easy to believe.
User Rating: 8.2 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas X360
This game has some really awesome aspects while few are a bit poor. The series doesn't seem keen on realism anymore. You have Halo style health system and seemingly unlimited revive shots you can give teamates. The story simply lacks enough detail to be remotely believeable with its many logic gaps. Its has some very lame dialogue. Voice acting is generally ok, but that dialogue read like a bad movie. That is saved by awesome sound effects and some nice scenery. The action and shooting will possibly grip you enough to want to finish the story. The graphics are very, very good though a bit lacking in the multiplayer. The physics involving bullet impact are great. The checkpoint saves are rediculous and frustrating as you'll be shot by the last man and be forced to clear 3 rooms yet again. Ever hear of save as you go? The multiplayer gameplay issues involve a lack of older maps and the Halo health system which still doesn't make sense for this game but doesn't hamper the MP enough to worry about for that part of the game. Alot of customization and probably downloadable content promises to keep it from getting boring later on. Not to mention 2 single player modes, 2 co-op modes, and a large amount of multiplayer modes. This is a game that will have a great following on Xbox LIVE for some time. Some people just love to know you can be taken down with one shot and it adds to the suspence in every online mode. Though if you are not a multiplayer gamer, this is a rental.
