Once Again into Sin City

User Rating: 9 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 X360
I played Rainbow Six Vegas and after some significant time between, I decided to pick up and play Rainbow Six Vegas 2. So far I'm having a wail of a good time. Either I'm out of practice (most likely) or this game is harder than the first. It's much the same as far as gaming mechanics but for me the enemies seem harder to get a bead on and kill.

I like the new upgrade feature where you rank up and get additional armor, helmets, weapons and other goodies. You can also get points for assault kills and marksman points for head shots among other things. I maxed out my guy with armor. Chest, shoulders, arms, legs and head best I could get... and I can still get kill with one shot. Oh well, at least I look cool :)

All the other great features of R6V are here. Character animation, sound effects, enemy AI, and dramatic scenery. The backdrops are not as pretty as R6V. There are more back lots, parking lots and industrial areas. But the all important gameplay is still satisfying right along with getting those all important head shots.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is another Ubisoft triumph as far as I'm concerned. I can't imagine what the next twist in the series is going to be. Splinter Cell Conviction and Ghost Recon Future Soldier have been announced with their next generation games so before long Rainbow Six should debut. I think we're done with Vegas so what will be next? Time will tell.
