RainbowSix: Vegas

Before Play: This game looks hard-core I have long dreamed of a game that incorporates the flashy busyness of Vegas with the freedom of a first person shooter.

Review: They did this game well, (yes I finally predicted a good one.) Unlike the other game I purchased with this game, "Assassins Creed" (I have to bash that game every chance I get to make my money back.) I honestly enjoyed this game. The game has the unique environments that only Vegas could provide with out the worry of having to rob a casino or deal with take hostages or something like that. You do have to save hostages but thats pretty easy and happens few and far between. Virtual Vegas w/o crowds of "innocent" people as a FPS playground = all around good idea.

The Good:
Cool Guns
Amazing Multi player
Multi-game modes so if you get bored with one you still can do something
Pretty Graphics
Amazing environments

The bad:
When playing the single player you may notice that your squad members are really really dumb and totally useless. Well your almost totally right - they do have two unique uses other than having to do with the story.
#1 Meat Shields: You can only take so many bullets so you might as well use theese alies as sheilds
#2 Distractions: Using a sniper and can't see your enemy? No problem - just send these two out to the middle of the map. All your enemy's will reveal them selfs without taking the risk of getting yourself shot. And if these two die alls you have to do is clear out the people who killed them and then give them some medicine and then tell to run blindly into the next dangerous area.
The single player is short.
Sometimes you will be shot down in some crazy weird way by an npc that couldn't have been possible - actually this will happen a lot which can be frustrating and most likely will result in a lot of swearing and shaking of you first at random objects in the room "**** you lamp!". I personally blamed my brother every time I got (it was his fault pretty often though when we were playing the co-op)
The second one of these games came out pretty soon after the first which kind of made me mad because I spent 60$ to play this game and then shortly after everyone else was playing the second and this one was obsolete.
Also very small selection of weapons (even though they're are quite a few cool ones)
The story development line was increadably predictable but you really shouldn't be playing this game for the story anyways. And even though it was predicable it was still interesting.

Rent it or Buy it:
If you plan to play this just for the story/achievements to get caught up to the second game then just rent it; but if you want to play the multiplayer of this game then buy it. Even though you would want to buy the new one over this one if you could only rent one and buy one.

Rating 7 out of 10 crazy situations to send your allies into.
