Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Game Review (from PlatformNation.com)

One of the first reviews for the game. Here is what PlatformNation.com had to say, "The story, while short, is extremely fun, fast paced, and immersive. You're the leader of your squad and you're going through Las Vegas trying to stop evil terrorists from blowing up a bomb, all with a surprising twist towards the end that I(Steve519 from PlatformNation.com) am not going to spoil.

As with the previous Rainbow Six games, the online play is really where it's at. Vegas 2 offers many different game types and maps for you to choose from, along with many different options for you to choose for each mode. There are several different weapons to choose from, and in the game you're given the chance to customize your character from top to bottom. This was popular in the prequel, and is also going to be in this version. Once again we are offered face mapping, and again it does take a long time to get your colors and skin tones right. Unfortunately they still do not allow you to use much of the equipment for your head if you do the face mapping, and still it looks a little cheesy, but do not let that stop you because it's always fun to see your real face in the game.

Enough of the face mapping talk, let me(Steve519 from PlatformNation.com) get right into the review because that is why you are here. You want to find out if this game is truly all that."

Rainbow six: vegas online sucked. Laggy and like one map was used. P2P usually sucks. I was playing resistance before the first vegas came out and it was shameful how bad and laggy the first rainbow six was.

I had a lot more fun playing singleplayer than i did with the MP,

3.1 - People might think
one thing or the other about RFOM's multiplayer experience. One thing is undeniable though. Online functionality in RFOM was top notch and has yet to be met, at least on the PSN. I wish to GOD that COD4 did things as well as RFOM. Client Servers, Squad mics, easy friend system, easy invite system, easy match making system, lag free, open private matches etc etc etc.

OMG could you imagine? Hopefully R2 learned a lot from the leveling system on COD4.

4 - Games get to good scores nowadays
I mean a 5 should be an ok game, not really good but not bad. Nowadays a 5 is the most horrific piece of shlt you could ever play. Dont mind me babbling, i just find it interesting.

Ps: It´s probably a good game, but in my oppinion i dont think the first deserved that score so i hope they have improved..

yes this is so very true. But it is because reviews/reviewers get flamed if it good game doesn't get 9's and 10's. Not every game is 9 or 10 worthy.

4.2 - Yeah
Good thing you noticed this as well, because 1up has too, games just aren't what they used to be, games no a days with a 5 mean horrific, and avoid at ALL costs, now they have the letter grade system from A+ to F, all in all IT IS a great system.

Pretty good score, I am not a big fan of the Vegas series but I'm considering this game.

7.1 - My friends and I played the original Vegas on the 360 for quite a while
My problem is now I have both the 360 and the PS3 and I have friends on both sides wondering which version I will pick up. I think the 360 is going to win this one. I simply have more friends that own a 360 over the PS3. I just hope there isn't that nasty audio glitch with this new Vegas that was present on the original 360 version...anyone else remember that, the gunfire that just won't quit. Gosh that was irratating!

I honestly thought the first vegas game was superior to halo 3 and GoW. I believe vegas 2 will be the top online shooter on consoles.

very under-rated game. Single player is average, but multiplayer is spectacular.

The controls were my favorite part of R6V1. I suspect the reviewer was playing the PS3 version instead of the 360 version. Either way I can't wait for this game. Other than the controls, this is a really good review of a AAA game.
