bit-tech Shopping: UbiSoft Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (PS3)

Rating: 10

Time with product: 3

Strengths: Improved coop, AI teammates and graphic, need thinking to approach mission

Weaknesses: jumping picture in coop, experience drop-out from coop

Summary: The coop experience is improved in terms of allowing 4 players coop and 1 friend joining the story mode. That is fun. Coop communication is a lot better than last one. At least I can communicate with teammates during heavy fire.The AI of computer teammates is improved although they are still stupid sometimes. Graphic is definitely a lot better from last one which is very closed to COD4. Computer calculation is better so you won't be killed when hide behind wall. Also, I like it because it's not "go-shoot-go-shoot" as COD4 but the approach of mission makes a different to the result. You have to think how to use the AI teammates. For the last one, I only played once in the story mode but this one I am indeed playing the second time currently.Regarding the weakness, I experienced jumping picture/position during 4 players coop. That sucks. For example, I reload but next second I need reload again because it "jumps back". Also, player dropping off from game happens. As summary, I recommend this game to my friends and we have 7 people now so we are about to try the other multiplayer modes. :) Good game that you should not miss.

Strengths: Good gameplay

Weaknesses: Controls, Not COD 4

Summary: This sequel is very similar to the 1st Vegas game. Nothing new, gameplay is very similar and graphics have not improved. Very fun game, but would definitely still recommend Call of Duty

Strengths: Good team-work skilled shooter game

Weaknesses: graphics

Summary: Comparing this to the first Rainbow Six-Vegas I would have to say it's quite an improvement. While the storyline to the first was o.k. the graphics were quite choppy and team member control was sometimes confusing. They have seemed to clean these defaults up this time around. Overall I would recommend this game if any of the past Rainbow Six's have interested you.

Strengths: great graphics, addition of sprinting

Weaknesses: very tactical game play

Summary: I never really enjoyed any of the Rainbow Six games so my review may be bias. It really depends what kind of shooter games you prefer. I wanted a change from Call of Duty 4 and wanted a new online multiplayer experience. I think the game is very different from COD and I haven?t gotten use to it yet. The days of running and gunning are over. The game is very tactical and strategies need to be implemented in order to succeed in this game. The game does have great graphics and plenty multiplayer modes that should appeal to fans of this type shooter. I recommend this game if you are looking for a more tactical slightly slower paced shooting game.

Strengths: Just as good as the last one, Good action, Best Squad Based FPS on the PS3

Weaknesses: Nothing that new, Still Can't Compete with COD4

Summary: This game is a must if you were really into the first Vegas game. They added a few new features and multiplayer is way better.This is still no COD4 game, but if you're into squad based FPS...this one is just as good as the first one and has a little bit more. Storyline is good so far and will sure to answer some questions left from the first game.
