PS3 version of Rainbow 6:Vegas Review From 1UP

For anyone holding out to play the PlayStation 3 version of Rainbow Six: Vegas, the wait has certainly yielded the most generous version of the game so far. It's a substantial and feature-packed game: It includes all the features of the 360 version (bar the Vision Cam face-mapping technology) and the recently released Player's Pack Red Edition, new multiplayer maps, and some extra tweaks like using the Sixaxis to control the under-the-door snake camera.

8.5 is usually a great score but for Vegas? I hear PS3 version is no different than 360 one and 360 version got a 9 or something.

[badaxx]

no it got a 8.5 too

[Seraphim]

as already stated, the 360 version got the same score. But what I'm LOL at is it looks like they took snippets from the original 360 review and posted them w/ the PS3 review. I glanced over the 360 review and saw several portions which exactly the same as the 360 review... WTH!?

[Rims]

MK_Red. The 360 version also got 8.5.

[tehcellownu]

It looks like im goin to be gettin this game..i rent fear since it was a crappy port..didnt bother to get it..

[FirstknighT]

A few weeks ago a video compared both version and the 360 clearly had the edge in graphics. The differences were pretty big. That is why the 360 gets a well deserved 9. Great game. Pick it up!

*EDIT* Nope...sorry son, but the graphics are better on the 360. This has already been discussed. And please 9 disagrees is nothing. I got 67 disagrees once. You sony boys take life to seriously. HAHA

Here is the video and proof...

Get pwned again sony suckas! Oh man it's to easy proving you sony suckas wrong. The 360 wins another multiplatform comparison! :)

[PSTripleOG]

Both versions are the same.... Dont try to start a flame war, i will do that. hehehehehehehe

(EDIT) FirstknighT, maybe you should keep your mouth shut, look at all them Disagree's, PRlCK :(

EDIT again.... FirstknighT you are desparate, just like microshaft and Bill gates (takes it up the arse), you need to chill and stop being a coward.... PRICK:)

[LSDARBY]

lol denial.
360 got an 8.5 aswell

[harpua]

bwaaaaaaaah, the review at yahoo said the PS3 actually had some visual improvements. nice try fright...but don't worry, if i owned an xbox 30% i'd be pretty insecure about it as well.

[toughNAME]

get out of her you pansy sony boys hes right click the link

free features + lesser grpahics DOES NOT equal that hugee delay in the 2 versions

[CrazzyMan]

well atleast, i haven`t seen that much during those 2 month i am here. =)

about multiplatform, eurogamer.net is doing best multiplatofrm comparison, so just wait and we will see, who was right. :)
for now, all those comparisons are bullsh1t. =P

p.s.anyone to help return my 4th bubble back? thnx. =)

[Loudninja]

WHo were hte 4 that agree? all your alt accounts?

[nanometric]

Let me correct you, thats 48 disagrees =D

[redmamoth]

..what a loser!!

[ImWithStupid]

!!!!!!!F!!!!!!! this game,people should boycott it to teach UBi a lesson about meeting deadlines. Pushed back 5 times in one month...that's just pitiful.

[ps3gogetitt]

to use the face map feature...

[hfaze]

Once the PlayStation Eye is released, I wouldn't be surprised if a patch comes out to enable face tracking.

If Sony can pull off 120fps out of the PS Eye, then it will be amazing for face and motion tracking.

[Danielson]

idk if i should get this or the darkness, any help
they both look good i just need a good game too hold me over for a while

[lil bush]

and im having the same situation but i have to get one this week and one the next, but i would say the darkness imo, but when your there go with your gut feeling, but no matter what its a hard choice, , and not amtter what your choice is not really wrong cause there both good games but as i said i would get the darkness..........

[TheExecutive]

well, im having the same problem... multiplayer will be better on Rainbow Six. I guess you just have to ask yourself do you want a realistic shooter or more of an arcade shooter?

[sjappie]

with R6 than The Darkness. R6 is a great game and it has better replay value and multiplayer than The Darkness.
Although The Darkness seems great to, the fun's not gonna last very long I think. If I had to pick, I'd pick R6.

[lil bush]

sick, im getting this game..........

[Keyser]

I wonder why it didn't score higher than a 8.5 even though it has more content that was not necessary to download? Oh well, it's good to hear that this game is just as good as the 360 version because I missed picking this up for the 360 so I'll grab it for the PS3. Good job Ubi, you could use the good PR.

[THAMMER1]

The 360 version only got an 8.5. I think this is a fair review because the 360 version was not complete when it came out last year. I would still prefer the 360 version because of the rumble, light graphical differences, and achievements but this is a treat for PS3 owners. I say go pick it up this will be the best $60.00 you had to wait to go spend.

[achira]

light graphical differences, yes, but in favour to the ps3.

[tonsoffun]

Just goes to show that extra developmetn time will always make a better version of the game, be it more features or better graphics.

BTW, the comparison on this website was a bit suspect, I think.

BUT who cares? The ps3 version isn't a crappy port and you get extra content. If I didn't already have it on the 360, I would have gotten the PS3 version.

[Maddens Raiders]

I just got The Darkness today which looks ridiculous, and R6 tomorrow? Splendid!

[psycho360]

"I just got The Darkness today which looks ridiculous"

Meaning what? is it bad looking ?

I remember growing up and learing that "the movie is sick" means its bad or the "movie was $hit" also meaning it was bad but now these "wow the movie was the $hit" meaning it was great or "the game will be sick" meaning that it will be great.

What with the 12 year olds misusing these words nowadays? Stop spending all the time on games do some studies as well.

[THC PRITCHARD]

see what gamespot says

[Bathyj]

8.5 is too low for this game. Thats about what Gears of War should have got. I'd give Rainbow 6 about 9.3. Very little to fault here. I havent played the PS3 version but it appears identical.

Good job I suppose to Ubi for finally getting their act together. Now if they can just start making release dates, or hell, even improving a game a bit when you have 6 extra months they will get their name back as the quality cross platform developer they were known for last Gen.

[Charlie2688]

god every time I remember the ending of this game I wanna murder someone >.>

be prepared PS3 players for the wave of Calipso Casino multiplayer ONLY maps...jesus can someone play another map like Dantes or something >.<

@Bathyj I agree this game deserves much more the only thing I didnt like was that it was short and the ending was garbage, but the weapons, squad tactics and the excellent cover system makes the game a true gem

[Rythrine]

That's fair enough. Now I'm just waiting reviews from other websites because lately, 1up's reviews have confused me a little bit. Also, I'm wondering if the FragFX for PS3 would work with this game because it is a semi-FPS. If somebody can lend me the info, I will greatly appreciate it.

[Bathyj]

The Frag FX would be good with any game that aims or moves the camera with the right stick. Remember you dont need mouse support in the software. The mouse simply replaces the right stick. Im getting one right away. It will be great for any shooter like Stranglehold or The Darkness. I just hope it comes with built in batteries like the 6ax. (Remember how much everyone complained about that? My controller hasn't been flat since I've had it and think of the money I've saved on batteries.)

[Charlie2688]

technically the fragFX was built so the PS3 will think its your average controller and immediately use it, for example other games like UnrealT3 have built in mouse and k support (sort of like in game drivers) and the PS3 will see them as other devices (m&k) not a controller, that is why games without this "drivers" dont support m&k even if you have them plugged in

so the fragFX should work on any game that supports the PS3 controller

and if you are wondering about control scheme (apart that the fragFX lets you costume it) R6V works pretty much like a FPS and when you cover it changes to 3rd person

[Rythrine]

Thanks for the info guys. I'm sure getting the FragFX, if I can find one that is lolz. Thanks again. Bubbles for both of you.

[Komrad]

SOLD!

[babyhand]

I have this game and its great. It looks as if both the consoles have the same graphics and gameplay. I love my 360, but also want a ps3 for the hell of it as i like games not just the systems.

[THE_JUDGE]

I have never played a Tom Clancy game but this looks like an excellent place to start. The online play is a major factor for getting and keeping this one!

[AdmiralX]

I played for a while last night. This game is great. Very tight controls, great graphics, voice chat in game, and it is easy to invite your friends into your board. I gained a lot of points for the ranking system last night. In my opinion this is the must own game for PS3. The multiplayer alone is worth it.
