Please note that this game will not run unless you have a top of the line video card. It would not work with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 card.

BEST FPS EVER!!

Seriously....both single player and multi-player has the best user interface I've ever seen. One of my all time favorite games.

EXCELLENT!

One of the best FPS games I've ever played on a PC. Exceptional single player and multi-player gaming. Unfortunately, it is very, VERY buggy, and the multi-player interface is not all that great. The gameplay is some of the best in the business, though!

Terrible graphics and performance

I was kind of stunned when I first started playing the game. Everything looked dull and flat. FEAR and GRAW look 10X better and a lot smoother.
I was getting very low framerates with my 8800GTX, Intel Core 2 Duo at 3.2Ghz and 2 Gb of RAM.
Graphics are nasty along with performance. Poor coding I guess.

This game will be AWESOME!!!!!!

depise the fact that this game has been delayed again trust me guys it was a smart move cuz if it came out on may 22nd. Who knows if it will be good or bad and since it got delayed again and im sure they are working on it to make it really great so the reviewers can say this is a great game and not give it a lame score like on those previous titles. I am very patient. This game will rule when it comes to stores on june 13th!!! Can't Wait!!!!

Well, i never really got to play the game on my computer because my computer has Windows Vista, and the game requires it not to have Windows Vista. And it also required other stuff that i had to buy in order to play the game. But my friend has it and and i was o.k. But, if you really like violence a lot, the this is a game to purchase.

Amazon drops the ball.

Unfortunately, I never received the correct item that I requested. Who ever the shipper was, they must not have been able to read--since they sent the wrong item TWICE. I would rate both Amazon and the shipper in a very negative light. After the second incorrect mailing, Amazon said that they would just refund me. What a total waste of time. Hopefully they will not use the same company that "filled" my order.

Best Game Played, Ever

You know, I cannot believe some of the bad reviews I read for this game. Sure, the game will be slow if you don't have the right system requirements. If you do have the right system requirements, the game is unbelievably fascinating. I'm not much of a gamer in the sense that I don't buy a playstation or stuff for playing games. I just play it on PC. Look at the recommended system requirements and buy the game based on that, I'm sure you will be more than impressed.

Usually, I do not like shooting games. But, Rainbow was an exception to that. I am a huge Rainbow fan and pretty much have all Rainbow Six games. I tell you, this game has reached a new level. With every new Rainbow game, the graphics has undergone major improvement.

"Major" would be an underestimated word to describe the graphics and technology improvements in Rainbow Six Vegas. I seriously cannot believe the graphics in this game. I'm totally amazed at what can be accomplished these days in the computer visual designs. This game has everything to keep it going. The music is exhilirating and suits the action perfectly. You feel as though you're actually in those places as you're going through. This kind of experience was never there in the previous Rainbow games. At least not to the extent I'm talking about...Well, you just gotta play it to understand what I'm saying. This game is just terrific.

The new characters were a good idea at this point. The story is also EXCELLENT. However, I do hope that they keep the four or five new characters they have introduced for the next several rainbow games. Any new and immediate changes would be a bad idea. Just like they left the characters pretty much unchanged in the first few games, they should do so with the next few games and wait for the right moment to change characters.

I can keep going on and on about this game...the point is that you cannot give a bad review for a game, just because it didn't work in your PC. I have a 512 video card (shared memory is not good at all, get a real video card like Nvidia or ATI Radeon). The game worked perfectly. There was some slowing down in a few scenes. But, no major issues. By the way, the game cover says "Windows XP Only." That's not true. It's Windows XP and higher. I do have Vista and the game works perfectly in it.

Best game I have played since Far Cry.

This isn't in the vein of some of the previous Rainbow Six offerings in the sense that it eliminates some of the tactical elements - though anything would be an improvement over Rainbow Six Lockdown. However, that aside this is a terrific experience. This has quickly become the staple game for our LAN parties and is really the best thing that I have played since Far Cry. I picked this up in the bargain bin thinking that it would have little chance of running on my 3 year old 2.8Ghz pentium. I was wrong. It works with all of the graphics options up full, and with patch 1.5 I can play it with full widescreen support as well. The single player campaign rocks, it runs perfectly fine on Vista, and the multiplayer with its 600MB map pack makes for days of Lan gaming on either Co-op, Terrorist hunt or any of its new game types added in patch 1.5. A must buy for PC shooter fans.

Best Since Raven Shield

Many of you won't believe it, but this is the best Rainbow Six in the series. I was totally disappointed by Lockdown, and had similar expectations for Vegas. But I was mistaken. In Vegas they've simplified the game and also added new gameplay features that ratchet up the excitement. Instead of peaking around corners with Q or E, you can now 'take cover' by hitting the right mouse button. This switches to a 3rd-person view of yourself against a wall or under a barrier, while still allowing you to aim. When ready to fire you move in the direction needed and your 3rd person self ducks out to shoot. It's hard to describe, but it's fantastic. You can also set up your scope, take cover, and pop-up into scope view to take a shot. The graphics are fantastic, especially on your character, Logan, and you can understand the requirement for Shader 3.

I'm giving this 5 stars instead of 4 since it is so much better than Lockdown and deserves a look from anyone who had fun in the past playing Rainbow Six.

My only complaints would be that on the PC it doesn't seem possible to have more than one profile (my son and I take turns making progress). Switching 'Q' from "peek out" in previous versions to "throw grenade" is a great convenience, but I was a little surprised when I went to take a peek around a corner and instead dropped a grenade on myself and my guys!

All in all, I've found this game a lot of fun, better than GRAW 1. (I haven't tried GRAW 2 yet).
