Does this game out do FPS heavy weight Gears Of War?
User Rating: 9.2 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas X360
Well the games are quite similar in gameplay terms both games require you to use cover in order to stay alive and both use this new health system that seems to be in every single shooter now which is good because its a great system. But personally Rainbow Six: Vegas has its nose out just in front of Gears Of War this is mainly down to Rainbow six's great xbox live multiplayer mode. In this mode you will create a charachter, the creation of the face features isnt too deep its just selecting a certain face, which is fine considering you will have it cover most of the time with all the different hats, helmets and masks you can have on your charachter. There is a great system that allows you Rank up by just playing the online modes and there are lots to choose from and as you rank up you unlock more stuff and to be honest some of the weapons are a tiny bit dissapointing according to the stats on them, but i am told many of the stats dont actually matter im not sure how true this is. The single player is great too and it never starts off on any menus you just go back to the helicopter and it will take you to your next mission and you rapple yourself down at the start of each mission, which is a cool way to start off any mission. This is a game that you wont going charging into you will need to take a look at the area around you and plan each move, it does a good job of scaring the sh*t out of you when ever you hear an enemy shout, because just a few shots and your dead but thankfully there are plenty of well placed checkpoints to help you a long. But the man facter in this game is in the multiplayer, before i had xbox live i used to hate reading game reviews that said that, but to those who dont have xbox live its still a great game to play single player and split screen, for me this game is better then Gears Of War, the multiplayer action never gets boring and the ranking up aspect will keep you busy for weeks and maybe even months.
