User Rating: 9 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas X360
Rainbow Six: Vegas is a superb, solid shooter that renews the franchise's license on the tactical first person shooter genre. Did I mention it's addictive too? Ubisoft Montreal delivers with this action packed FPS that goes back to the original Rainbow Six formula that many fans have long yearned for. Out is the arcade-y feeling of the past games. In is the tactical, real-life commando gameplay similar to that of another popular shooter, Counter-Strike. Each assault, if performed correctly, makes you feel like an expertly trained soldier prepared to save the world and all of its inhabitants. As you weave through rooms, lobbies, rooftops and corridors you get that visceral jolt that propels you onward as you smile to the crack of your assault rifle. Ducking behind shelter, ordering your squadmates to take cover behind a nearly decimated casino room slot machine to suppress the enemy, bursting through windows after rappelling down the side of a lavish skyscraper, and pulling off professional headshots with your pistol are all in a day's work for Logan Keller, the new southerner replacing Domingo Chavez - the franchise's previous cover boy. As cool as that sounds, it would not be so cool if it weren't executed well. In Vegas it is executed...flawlessly. The reverberations and echoes of breaking glass, yelling and gunshots all take part in this fast paced and action packed game that thrills you with excellent sound, gameplay, value, sound graphics and "oomph." Overall it really is a solid game. It will satisfy fans of the FPS genre and appeal to long time fanboys praying for the first "real" Rainbow Six game to come along since the game's beginning. Believe the reviews. This game is great.
