Which is better, longer, better for single player, and has higher replay value?

Also how long is each game for a normal difficulty level.

If you are inot the single player get R6 thats got a long single player and i think much enjoyable story line and encourges you to see whast next. But Gears is also hella cool but normal is easy i mean the only hard part to GOW is the ending when you fight Gen Ramm. hard on that game was not evne that hard until the end, thast a lie its takes time but compared to R6 hard its nothing. R6 less thinking where GOW "A" its dose  every thing from  running, take cover, exit cover, jump roll, jump over cover. thats to much becasue sometimes you will be like hey i did not want to roll i wanted to run. Depends what your into. People tend to die ALOT slower in GOW then R6. But rainbow its all ablout head shots so if one shot hits you in the head of any gun you are dead. I love them both, but GOW is 2 player online. Go to game crazy and get which every one is used. i got R6 for 28 bucks at game crazy. Goo luck

Gears of war is the best game out period. -until halo 3,mass effect and all the next string of games,but even then it will still be played heavily-its like a halo type game were it never gets old

rainbow six is just a cross platform game,and itll ware off soon

PLEASE can somebody restrict themselves from involving Halo into EVERY topic of a shooting game? Its Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas, nothing to do with Halo.

I disagree with both of you. Rainbow is a much more realistic game and much more hardcore though. Both are equally good buy both of them.

I agree with Mr. Popinski. Rainbow is a waaay more realistic game... but, IMO, a way better game than Gears Of War. The way I heard another poster put it described it best -- Gears is an "entry-level shooter", lol. It's those training pants you get when you're a big kid, but not big enough for underwear. So, TC, if you're not sitting on a Havana omelet right about now, go get yourself a copy of Rainbow Six Vegas. AIGHT?

Oh, and Soda Popinski, aren't you on xbox360achievements.org too? I never forget a Punch Out character! I still have nightmares about Super Macho Man flexing his pecs before the bell rings.

Is there an online co-op for the story mode in R6? I just started playing it so I'm wondering if it's as fun as GOW's co-op?

Definately GoW. Vegas is a great game and all, but it can get seriously annoying at times. After I beat it, I've yet to touch it again...

Both are great games, and at one time I owned both of them.  I sold Gears Of War and still have Rainbow Six Vegas.  Rainbow Six Vegas offline CO-OP has not only the campaign but the terrorist hunt missions as well which is a plus for me as I have friends over to play a lot.  Also,  I found the online multiplayer on Vegas much more compelling than that of Gears Of War.

I think Rainbow Six is a good game, but Gears is a step forward in gaming, if you want something really special get Gears.

Yes. When you're online, you can play four player co-op. Go to custom match on the live screen and search for co-op story and there you have it.

RB is a way better game alla round. The single player is more thought out, the AI is a lot smarter, the controls are tighter and more intuative, the cover system is much better, and the online absolutely destroys every other game out there.

well, Gears has a much better multiplayer in my opinion, and I do like Tom Clancy games, so my opinion isnt slanted either. I do think Gears is a better game all around, though i've never played the R6V campaign. The Gears campaign is good, and has amazing graphics, though I don't know why u'd be interested in these 2 games just for single player, because for both I think multiplayer is better.

There are generally some shooters that have better multiplayer than campaign.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Halo (even though the campaigns great too)

You cant really say Gears is better all round if you havent even played the single player in Vegas.

Thats true, but I do think Gears has better graphics, gameplay, and is a bit funner. Its not that I dont like strategical games, because I do love GRAW, but from what I play in the campaign on the demo for R6V, it didnt impress me too much. I also know that the Gears campaign was one of the better campaigns that I've played for the 360.

I'm in this same predicament too... I've rented both, and I had a lot of fun with them. Gears looks absolutely amazing, and the SP was pretty fun, but I never had a chance to really try the multiplayer. RB6 was pretty cool too, but I got my butt kicked when I played online. I still don't know which to buy either. :?

I loved both games. But I liked Gears just a little more.

To the person who asked about Rainbow's online coop - yes it is there but they completely cut out the storyline for some reason, its like objective based T-hunt instead of a campaign

I have both. I like R6V way more. R6V is a lot more tactical than GeOW is. GeOW has become a shotty "run and gun" game.

From the way this guy talks you'd think he was describing Gears and not Rainbow Six... Rainbow Six is one of the few games on XBOX Live where skill decides your fate.

Dont forget that its fight for the sniper. No scoping the sniper really gets old quick too. I like how on Vegas its hard to do that they make you set up first before shooting. Its still possible on Vegas to no scope, but you must be pretty close.

GoW is good for a bit of fast paced fun and violence, it's something that you'll be done with after playing it every difficult. Even if your going to play it on versus matches... the enjoyment of those has been pretty much killed to be honest by that crappy patch, glitchers and children. To be honest, Strategy is slightly involved with GoW but there isn't much depth to the gameplay... specially when one button does about 70% of everything.

Rainbow Six: Vegas beats GoW in every aspect but it's not fair to compare. They're both shooters, yes. But GoW being the fast paced bit of fun, Vegas is the shooter that's got all the depth in the gameplay, the realism, it's a game you'll have to put a lot of thought, strategy and time into. Also the online play is far better, more modes and less annoying little kids.

I'd personally go for Vegas, but if your lookin for something fast paced and action packed go for GoW. Go for Vegas if you wanna go for strategy and depth :)

Gears has a great co op but certain bits will annoy the **** out of you on the hardest difficulty. The online mode is total bollocks though, it sucks big time. RV6 is a great all rounder.  The cover system is better, ordering your team mates is better, the online multiplayer is a million times better, I've yet to see a 'cheap' kill in RV6 yet, whereas you get them every game in GOW with grenade taggers.
