Played recently with a friend because it's free with Gold and whatnot, and this game is horrible. So if you did not like the first game, don't even bother.â Then again, Vegas 2 does not introduce anything new in terms of visuals, gameplay and story. It has a stellar campaign, and a brand new leveling system, that expands throughout the various game modes, single-player or online. Nonetheless, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 will still appeal to fans of the first game. However, two years later, it does come across as sub-par. Back in 2006, the original Vegas set the bar high for next-generation gaming. In terms of graphics, Vegas 2 is identical to it's predecessor. In most of these occurrences you will get caught in the crossfire and start again at the nearest checkpoint. This is a further annoyance because it's up to you to revive them. From time to time, your team mates will attempt to go gung-ho and land up in impossible situations. A few set-pieces in the game, I encountered stupendous AI which affected my two team mates. There are very few instances where one can just "run-and-gun". It forces the player to use some light tactical combat. Throughout the game enemies will attempt to flank you and use cover. Enemy AI can range from tactical and aggressive, to downright daft. It proves very useful in the game, especially when you are being overwhelmed by a large number of enemies. Gameplay remains much the same, with a few tweaks such a tightened cover system and the introduction of a sprint function. You take control of a player named Bishop, and you will guide him through a narrative that runs parallel to the original Vegas storyline. However, if you expect the story to tie any loose ends in the previous iteration, you will be disappointed. Vegas 2 has a story that is good enough to to keep the player immersed in the action,but it is by no means spectacular, but ties in with various missions to give the player a sense of purpose. This is not necessarily a letdown, if you enjoyed the original Rainbow Six : Vegas, you will thoroughly enjoy it's successor. However, Vegas 2 feels all to similar to the first one. It still has a lengthy career and an improved multiplayer component. I wouldn't go as far to say that this feels like a mere expansion pack. For my general overview of this game,everything applies from my Rainbow 6 Vegas 1 review,plus what follows in this review for this game.This game,like Vegas 1,has great detailed graphics,great choice of equipment & weapons,& a great campaign & well told story,but one phrase that comes to my mind when thinking about the R6 Vegas games,is "They give with one hand,& take away with the other".& by that i mean Both titles have online & offline campaign Co-Op(Great),but you never quite get it 'all' in either title.i'll **** Vegas 1,you can have 4 player Co-Op in the campaign(again,great),but when played in Co-Op,you dont get any story cutscenes or **** merely play individual missions,without any sense of **** in Vegas 2,you have all the cutscenes & storytelling in Co-Op,but only 2 player Co-Op.Whats the crack!? can we have both next time please? is it too much to ask? But due to the fact that it does at least have on & offline Co-Op,& the whole story while doing so,plus other improvments,like being able to use your own custom character in all the modes including campaign,& the leveling system(PEC or Persistent Elite Creation),that unlocks more equipment,Armour & weapons,(You even see your rank badge on your character),in which you earn experience points in all modes,(Thankfully including campaign,for a change,for those like me,who have no interest in multiplayer modes)this game gets full marks from me.įirstly, this is not Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, this is more like Rainbow Six 1.5. I'm very suprised the user score isnt higher for this,but ah well.
