Not as good as RSV1 [Posted on 2008-06-16]
If you get this thinking it is a sequel, going to start off right where RSV1 stopped then you are not going to be happy! This is more of a paralell story than a sequel. It should not have been called Raibow Six Vegas Two. Maybe RSV1.5 but not RSV2. I really wish the very first mission would have started out exactly where RSV1 left off.
The game is short, and online offers nothing better than RSV1. Basically, it does not live up to the hipe and expectations. I gave the fun level 3 stars as I do enjoy this style of gaming but enemies span in right in your face and kill you in terrorist hunt, not all shots are equal. One shot from a shotgun might kill one bad guy but the next might take an entire magazine. The AI pulls miricle shots, shooting with thier gun facing a different direction but you die anyway. Campaign may be short but it is nice going through it with a friend.
It seems they pulled a GRAW to GRAW2, should have been downloadable content instead. At least GRAW2 added some "new" toys RSV2 only added the ability to sprint. Play Call Of Duty 4, it is better.

any game played on the 360 is awesome, but this game was amazing. graphics are great, gameplay is sweet only thing i wish there were more maps. and terrorist hunt needs to allow for more than 4 people while on system link. other than that a 10 for sure

Gaming wasn't bad for me but i was disappointed with the online gaming. ok wasn't worth the keep after beating the game.

Decent shooter but very hard [Posted on 2008-08-09]
Basically the same as the the first , but very hard. Some missions I must have played 10 times or more to get past.

Over Too Quickly [Posted on 2008-08-22]
Pretty much everyone who picks up Vegas 2 has completed the original and knows that the ending is just the beginning. Except that it isn't. Instead you step back five years and complete a mission that doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense unless you look very closely at your team. Of course, they don't wear name tags so they have to get wounded for you to confirm their identities. So, you play through the memory scene and pick up the action in Vegas before Vegas 1 actually begins.

The interwoven storyline is one of the best features of the non-technical side of the game. It still seems ridiculous that Rainbow has randomly stashed crates of weapons and ammo throughout Las Vegas and that you seem to carry some sort of universal sound suppressor for every conceivable weapon (except sniper rifles). But realism has never been Rainbow's strong suit.

While the game is harder than the first I did not find it too difficult to complete as a single player. The 'realistic' setting will ensure that you're zapped by a tango sniper any time one is around. Situational awareness is key in Vegas 2. The new scenery is fantastic - especially battling through the backyards of the cookie-cutter houses (reminded me of Phoenix really) and the sign graveyard.

Technically, I had no issues with the game and believe that Ubisoft continues to put out polished work. The controls and layout are easy to work with and customization is pretty easy to figure out.

Overall, the game was a blast to play - although the final scenes took some frustrating replays (have to take my own situational awareness comment to heart). But I have to say that the game seemed quick and was over sooner than I would have liked.
