 - Rainbow Six Vegas 2The folks at UBISOFT have done it again. From the very start it is action packed. Lots of new suprises in the game that continue to make it one of the best running PC games on the market. I look forward to the next episode in the series. Rating:  - Seriously in need of a patchCheck the UBI forums before purchasing so you know what you're getting into. If you can get it to play correcty, it's a great game. There are, however, MANY issues that render it unplayable for many people. I myself had to do a few reg tweaks, ini edits, and multiple updates to drivers for it to even make it playable. It still has some highly annoying issues, but is really fun to play. I haven't tried story mode, but I hear it has even more issues than online mp. Rating: - Okay considering the poor graphics, I got this for 20.00 on amazon...I knew it was going to be a poor game in so many elements. You can't use SLI with it or you get problems--not that you need it if you have 9800gx2's like me. I maxed everything out on this game and it still looks like an xbox game...lol. As for fun, well, it's pretty bland in that area as well. Grainy graphics, stupid AI. Your teammates with get stuck in holes..lol. You have to push them out of walls, etc..what a joke! However, as a fan of the original, I wanted to pick this up for cheap. I feel sorry for those people who paid 60.00 for this game on consoles. This game is worth about 20-30 dollars. It's that poor! More or less, it's like an expansion. Don't buy this game for more that 30.00! Rating: - Where is Vegas? Expansion Pack Really, Bugs make it unplayableMy favorite levels in R6V1 were the casino levels, without that you would have just your typical generic shooter terrain and this is what we have in R6V2, there's absolutely no reason to have Vegas in the name. If you're going to have a "sequel"(Full Price Expansion Pack) to an amazingly beautiful game like the first one don't let us all down in the same way GRAW2 really blew it with a short storyline and the generic terrain. I played the first one through many times, this one I don't see playing through more than twice so the value is just not there; like most sequels they get you with the first one and phone it in after that, don't pay full price for this game, you can get the first one for five dollars and get a much better experience. I would not pay more than fifteen dollars for this one. The many bugs in this game make freezing and CTD a common thing that I just took the whole thing off my computer it was so frustrating. I patched to 1.01 and it was actually crashing more! This game has technical issues as bad as Gears of War did and of course ubi is no help. So avoid this one for a while if you are looking for a smooth game that is worth the price. The controls are the same as the first one, which worked so well so why change it? For me the customization is meaningless as I play single player only and to me seems a little tedious with the colors, etc. The weapons are all pretty much the same, one thing I didn't like was the locked weapons and the stupid points system to unlock them, please do this for online only where it makes sense. It would make more sense to have the advanced weapons available at the more advanced difficulty settings during the single player campaign. In sum Ubisoft and the R6V team really let us down with this one and don't reward them by rushing to buy this , even if you loved the first one and have waited anxiously for a sequel like me. 8800 GT 512mb 3GB RAM AMD 64 X2 3800 Win XP 450W PS Rating:  - Same VegasR6 Vegas with new maps. The graphics are a little better but no Crysis. There are some bugs that have not been addressed. The campaign seems way too short and with ammo crates every twenty feet, its too easy even on realistic mode. The best part about the R6V2 is the co-op story, with dialog (as apposed to its predecessor). The ability to customize your character as you progress through the story was cool.
