REVIEW
Finally team rainbow is back after a long wait in its next gen debut. This game is actually the best shooter’s of the year and the story is simple ‘ bad guys have taken over vegas and its up to you to stop them . keep in mind this is a tom Clancy game and you know that tom likes to twist and turn with the story line . just you know that you have to move through mexico to the floors of well known casinos and outside into the streets of las vegas and finally you’re gonna end up at the top of the boover dam so you’re gonna see plenty of action .
Cover system
The rainbow six vegas features a all new control scheme most noticeably a fantastic new cover system , basically you’re gonna walk up to the piece of cover like a wall , bush , car or any other object and pull the L trigger and immediately you’re gonna be sucked in and the camers will switch to a third person perspective from there you can blind fire from the corners or you can movie side to side. You’re also able to aim at enemies while still behind cover and then at the very last minute when you have your aimer right at the enemies face you’re gonna pop up squeeze the trigger pull of around take a headshot and then get back into cover . I love this cover system I think its even better than what we’ve seen in gears of war . even when I play other shooter games I sit there wanting this cover system its one thing from which every first person shooter can benefit from .
Tactical tricks
Some of the other highlights you’re gonna be able to do are that you would be able to repel down the side of the skyscraping casinos you can actually revert down the rope and crawl down the side of the wall upside down until you get a good angle on a terrorist and you’re gonna be able to get a headshot from outside upside down on a rope it’s a awesome sweet move specially in multiplayer.
Weapons
Of course being a tom Clancy game this game is Clancy proof what that means is that every weapon is real looking. In single player you’re gonna Cary three weapon slots 2 gadget slots and you’re gonna have sub machine guns like the mp5 and live machine gun like the mg36 , assaulte rifles like the ak47 and everything looks real exactly like the real life counter part .
Multiplayer
Now the single player game is pretty fantastic but the multiplayer is where rainbow six vegas really shines. Upto 16 player can jump on xbox live and there are variety of game modes like retrieval, attack and defense which is my personal favourite . you’re gonna create a online persona and the more you play the more you unlock guns and more gear . you could even put you own face in the character by using the xbox live vision camera so you’re gonna see allot of ugly terrorists online still the highlight of online has got to be the four player co-op . this is one thing which I like even better than halo2 or gears of war because you and your team mates over the live headsets are gonna actually decide together how your gonna approach a room , whose gonna repel upside down , whose gonna , whose gonna put a breaching charge on the door and it turns out really fun better than playing single player.
Graphics
The game looks great , you can actually see the casinos you can see the effiel tower near the paris casino . there are some hilarious diologues between the terrorist where they are waiting around talking about what their favourite video game is or again there are some gritty diologous where you’re gonna burst into a room and you’re squadmate is gonna be like “on your knees or I will fu*king shoot you” keep in mind this is a tom Clancy game and is for mature people and its not for kids but the realism in this game is awesome and at times hilarious.
Conclusion
In the end rainbow vegas is a total epic.looks good, sounds great and plays fantastic it really returns the rainbow six series the form which is the best tactical shooter out there .overall I think if you are a fan of the shooter genre then it’s a must buy for all you out there.
9.3 OUT OF 10
