I think most people would agree the first game was the better of the two. That being said, I don't agree with many people saying the game is bad or not that great. This is a really good game. Someone below had said it was short..... They must be used to playing oblivion or something because this game was longer than the first. I was glad to be done with it by the time the end came around.The graphics are really nice. They are like an updated version of the first game. There's a few bugs that drove me nuts such as an enemy shooting through a wall that's supposed to be cover. Glitch. This game features shooting through cover such as wood or plastic, but i'm speaking of actual walls. You can see their rifle sticking out of it. Another annoyance is the fact that you can die if someone shoots your hands alot. I understand that you can do that to your enemy, but still.The game only crashed on me once. I closed to desktop, restarted the game and was fine. The new patch seemed to work fine for me.As for the setting, I thought the levels were very nicely laid out. Yes the casinos in the first one were really cool and fun, but there's alot more to vegas than just that. The story was revolving around catching someone, not just fighting your way through things.Gameplay is the same. There's a whole experience/level up scheme to this game that can be a little cheap with the weapons. There should've at least been the same weapons available as in the first game. You end up having to level up and use certain strategies to get the items you want. It's annoying, but I thought it was cool leveling up. In this game you tend to get hurt alot more than the first one on normal difficulty. Even with the heaviest gear on I found I was dying alot more.There's even a level where you're by yourself! It's neat because you can be more stealthy. Most of the time in both games you'll pass an invisible tripwire on the map and enemies start pouring from everywhere despite how quiet you were being. In this level, you can avoid alot of fighting simply by sneaking around and pulling out your trusty silenced pistol.The end fight is about as obnoxious as the first game except if you die, you have to go through a cutscene over and over and over.The story is good. I liked it. The main twist isn't much of a shocker, but hey, it's tom clancy. I was disappointed in some of the new voices for the same characters though. Logan's voice is different which just threw me off because whoever did his voice in the first game was fantastic and unique. This time it's just some american without an accent. I'm pretty sure Mike's (the heavy gunner on your team) voice is different too. Jung and Gabe is still the same.All in all I liked the game. It dragged on a little towards the end, but I enjoyed it almost all the time. I'm glad I waited for the price to drop. Amazon is selling now for 20 bucks which is definitely a good buy in my opinion. Pick this one up. It's worth the play.

I've been a big fan of modern combat games like those in the Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and Brothers in Arms series. It wasn't until recently that I picked up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 when it was on sale on Steam, and I'm very glad that I did.RSV2 is primarily an FPS game, but you get to control a small team of two other specialists as you comb through industrial and commercial complexes looking for bad guys to shoot. Your team will follow your orders to move to a position, throw grenades, stack up on a door, etc. allowing you to coordinate and time your attacks on enemy positions.The tactical aspect of the game is especially apparent when you have to clear rooms. You can scope out a room using a snake cam and tag two enemies for your squadmates to target first. After commanding your team to stack up on a door, you can tell them to breach with C4, throw grenades first, or just open the door and start shooting. I found myself replaying sections of the game to see how successfully I could coordinate the assaults. The rooms are designed so you usually have a choice of doors, windows or skylights to use as entry points.The single player campaign took me about 8 hours to finish, which is a little short, but I thought it was one of the more satisfying FPS games that I've played in a while. There's also a Terrorist Hunt game mode that's basically just stand-alone levels where you're timed in how quickly you can kill all of the bad guys. They give you a pretty big selection of levels, adding tons of replay value to the game.I'm thinking of going back and playing through the first RS Vegas game, which many people deem the better of the two. As far as I know, you don't need to play the first Vegas in order to enjoy Vegas II. If you liked other modern combat shooters like Modern Warfare or Medal of Honor, but wished for less twitchy and more open-ended gameplay, I high recommend checking out Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

I really wanted to like this game. I was really hoping this was going to be a more polished version of Vegas 1. Instead the game seems to have started that way but was pushed out the door long before completion.The story mode seems to feature more attention to detail than the rest of the game. Multi-player story mode is fairly nice as far as the maps and the gameplay. I really wish they had not trimmed it down to just 2 players in that mode. The AI teammates controlled by player 1, are not incredibly useful other than to act as cannon fodder, luring out bots that have phenomenal accuracy and psychic tracking abilities. The overall storyline is quite forgettable IMHO.Other gametypes are hindered. Terrorist Hunt has numerous issues. The way the bots 'spawn' in is downright hideous at times. Features have been taken from the control of the player such as the number of respawns. There are countless bugs in the game some major, and many minor. They scream "unfinished" or "hastily slapped together" and it is my belief that this game was released before it was completed. These hinder what would otherwise be a very fun installment of Vegas.
