Rainbow Six: Vegas

Take all of the Rainbow six games and give it a boost of adrenaline, action and some amazing rendering and you get the greatest RS game ever. I really like to say that this happened due to the partnership with Ubisoft, creators of FarCry, Assassin's Creed, and Splinter Cell: Conviction. Here, you work in a squad based FPS environment as the leader of a Rainbow Six squad.

Like a number of games now, you can choose your equipment, add additional accessories for your weapons, rate of fire and even if it is silenced or not (dependent on the weapon). What I like is that there is a large number of items to choose. I like to change it up each and every time I play the game.

The story is not too complex and not too original, but it is good none the less. I have only read a few posts out there that seem to be disappointed with the story. Another thing is that any and all action games has terrorism linked to it now. Especially Tom Clancy games. Anyone who has ever read a book from this author should be well aware that he is all about espionage, secrecy, terrorism and national security. The good things is that he is good at it, the bad: it can get old after time.

The game play is kind of nice. You get two viewpoints in the game. You get the main one and that is the FPS, but what is nice is the crouching, the cover, and the stances where you get the third view point is nice especially when you can still aim. There was definitely a lot of work put into this game and I feel it is an awesome game. It really stands out.

One thing worth noting is a multi-player option. You can go on a Terrorist hunt and co-op it. I tried this with a friend and we spent 6 hours playing! It was a lot of fun that can be done LAN or online.
