So. Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. Otherwise known as R6V2.
I saw this game and said it looked cool. I talked to my friends about it, who said it was cool. So, I go to the store and piss away about 285 on this, a 20 gig HDD for my 360, Mario Party 8, and Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
So, I pop the disc in and, to get the game's feel, I use easy.
And it lies to me. Vegas? Where did I get the idea the game would be in Vegas all the way through? No, we're in France. It took me, no shitting, a minute and a half to realize I was in control. No gun popped up, so it was an honest mistake. From the beginning breifing, I get that my name is Bishop and there are hostages somewhere. Okay.
So I kill my first enemy and I wonder what the fuck the point is for. So, I play to the point where I free hostages and they tell me to keep going. So I walk up to a crate, hoping to replace the god-awful MP5 for something else, maybe an M4. No M4, plus locked guns, equals what the fuck.
So, it then throws me into an insane difficulty turn. Where the fuck did I get the idea this would be an easy difficulty?
After dying once, I re-outfit with a sniping rifle and eventually finish the level. I'm entertained at this point.
Then it throws me into an East-L.A. type area, which is part of Vegas. Yadda yadda, eventualkly I get to MLG, et cetera, et cetera, I climb down the side of a building, so on, so forth, and yeah.
So, my ratings.
Graphics: 7.5/10. OK, but I've seen better, like Halo 3, Crysis, CoD4, Mass Effect...
Gameplay: 7/10. Confusing at first, terrible for FPS gamers who aren't accustomed to it.
Sound: 9.5/10. Not Perfect, I.E. the audio being drained out by my shotgun, but it got a 9.5 because of me throwing a nade and hearing an enemy utter shit before it kills him.
Weapon choice: 8/10 I can see there are plenty, but If only I could try them...
Devices: 10/10. Heat and night vision, snake cam, fully customisable weaps.
Overall: 8/10
In closing, buy this game if you want to be entertained by it's qualities. Fuck the box, it says "The perfect SHOOTER" when, clearly, that title went to something else this year.
