I love this game. I have always been a fan of the R6 games, and this one is by far the best to date. The story is great and really pulls you into the single player game. I also love how you have the option to play through both the main story and the terrorist hunt mode cooperatively with a friend. This fun feature has added countless hours of replay value for me. The online modes are all very fun, and you will become addicted. Ranking up online and earning new gear is always great. There is nothing about this game that I don't love. It looks phenomenal and plays so well. I cannot wait until the next R6 game is released, but who knows when that will be.
Bottom line: If you have a 360 and you love action FPS games, buy this. If you love online team-based FPS games, buy this. If you don't own this game, buy it.

RB6V is one of the three games I got for the Xbox 360 (including GOW and GRAW2) and it quickly became the game I played the most until my 360 broke. This game is pretty amazing. The combat is realistic and I love the cover system (by pressing the left trigger), which is not quite the same in other games. Playing online was a blast too and can keep you entertained for hours. This is a must-have title if you own a 360.

Craziest game ever!!!!

I got my xbox 360 a couple months ago, and this is the first game i got. At first i thought, just another rainobw six game, but boy was i wrong! This is the best game i have ever played! Great graphics, realistic fighting,(it doesn't take half a clip to kill someone)good length intense story mode with surprising twist at the end. Once you finsih a soon to be classic story mode, you can try terrorist hunt and co-op(two more fantastic additions to the game.) I still havent gotten xbox live, yet i am still satisfied with this game after months and months. Me and my friends come over almost every weekend, and we play this game for an average of 5 hours non-stop.
Dont worry parents, the blood/gore isnt too strong at all. At most, you see a little blood spurt after you hit somebody at close range. My parents wouldn't let me get Gears of War, due to overdose of blood, so they got me this game. Im glad they did.
In other words for expierenced and new 360 players, this is a must buy. Tactics, teamwork and determination are all key in winning this game. For all you wannabe special forces goons, this is a great game to see if you can even handle the video game intensity. The only problem i expierenced is a scratch on the disk, which doesn't let me play one mission,(the strip)but what game wouldnt scratch after countless hours of play? a quick summary: buy this game!

Best Online Shooter

I borrowed this game from a friend and a week later i bought my own. It was that good. The campaign mode is just out of this world. The graphics are fantastic, as well as the game play. I was a little uneasy at first about the online mode because of the system they use which is that you get better along the way. I mean some people can be amazing and just bomb on your game experience, but the people are really nice and because its like this it just keeps on making you play because as you go you gain better weapons and cool colors for new armor and clothing for a fully customizable character you can use in campaign mode.
The game is sick and just absolutly awsome in every way possible for a game.
A most have for a gamer and Xbox 360 owner

I wasn't a big Rainbow Six fan until I picked this game up. DUDE. Pretty realistic and if you've ever been to Vegas, it's kind of creepy crawling around of Freemont smoking terrorists with a high-powered rifle. The squad commands are pretty intuitive and it's fun to replay areas and try different tactics. It's a violent game with graphic violence and frequent profanity. Parents, take note.

Amazing

At first I was reluctant to buy this game because I was saving money for the Halo 3 legendary edition but then I played it online at my friends house and its amazing. One of my favorite thing is the ranking system along with the Ability to customize your armour. Whether you want to be wearing recon armour or an all out assault vest is up to you. I am A halo fan at heart but ive always loved the Tom clancy series. Played the first ghost recon on PC and so on. Definately a good buy I have been playing for only a month now and I still havent played every single map theres nearly 20 of them. And ill be playing untill September 25th, 2007(Day halo 3 comes out for all you people that dont know)

Rainbow Six Vegas... You're favorite first person shooter, (you just don't know it yet)

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas for the Xbox 360 is the 5th generation of Rainbow Six games. With over 30 realistic weapons, high tech explosives and cool gadgets, it's safe to say that you'll never go bored with this title.

I won't spoil you with details relating to the story line that goes along with the Campaign mode. All you need to know is that the campaign mode for this game is a lot of fun. The enemy AI is intelligent so it won't be a run and gun experience for you. They'll flank you, dodge bullets and throw a few flash bangs. You'll have to play smart and shoot accurate to move through the levels. Great enemy AI with cool weapons, rappelling, night vision, snake cams and well laid out levels, the Campaign mode really is a treat to play.

Now most of you however will purchase Rainbow Six Vegas for its online capabilities. This is what I want to focus this review on. You first build your character, changing body build, facial features and camo to your liking. Choose your primary weapon, pistol and 2 of your favorite Gadgets/explosives and your ready to play. You can search for a quick match, a custom match or create your own. When you create your own match you have the ability to lock weapons, change match time, change the amount of respawns and more. You can have up to 14 players per session although there is an option to have 16 with the "dedicated server" option on. This reduces any lag issues, however the person who is hosting the match cannot play.

Once you get to playing you can unlock new weapons and camo every-time you rank up. There are ten enlisted ranks and seven officer ranks that you have to go through until you reach "Elite" which is the grand daddy of all ranks. Currently there are 10 ways to enjoy online play... Survival, Team Survival, Sharpshooter, Team Sharpshooter, Retrieval, Co-op Terrorist Hunt, Attack & Defend, Co-op Campaign, Assassination, and Conquest.

Every weapon and explosion sounds really cool and the music is very well produced. Graphics are amazing but not as good as Gears of War or the highly anticipated Halo 3. Don't let this detour you away from this game though. The graphics are more than adequate and it looks as it should on the powerful Xbox 360.

I highly recommend this game. It's a challenging but fun first person shooter that will have you wondering why you didn't buy this title it a long time ago. For your enjoyment, I have included a complete weapons list for Rainbow Six Vegas... Enjoy!

Sub Machine Guns: MP5N, MP7A1, UMP45, P90, MP9, MAC 11
Light Machine guns: MK46, 21E, MG36, M249 SPW
Assault Rifles: 552 Commando, AK-47, Aug A3, FAMAS, G36C, G3Ka4, M8, MTAR21, SCAR-H CQC
Sniper Rifles: M40A1, SV-98, PSG1, SCOUT TACTICAL
Shotguns: M3, SPAS 12, 870MCS, XM-26 LSS
Pistols: MK.23, USP40, Glock 18, 92FS, Raging Bull Desert Eagle
Explosives: Frag Grenade, Flashbang, C4, Breaching Charge, Smoke, Incendiary, Tear Gas
Gadgets: GPS Device, Motion Sensor, Radar Jammer, Shield, XM50 Gas Mask, SF10 Gas Mask.

C'mon... You're using the same weapons and explosives that the police, swat and special forces use to this day. Glock handguns, Remington Rifles, Heckler & Koch sub machine guns and more. Why don't you have this game yet!?

I absolutely love this game. The action is exiting and feels real, and tactics are a must if you want to complete your missions. Definitively my all-time #1 FPS.

Best Clancy game from any series

Great game, great game, great game. Rainbow Six: Vegas takes the best parts of the Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and Rainbow Six series and pulls them together into one of the best and must have games for the 360. The graphics are top notch. The location being in Las Vegas casinos, gives a new dimension to the genre. The story mode is fast paced, varied, and engrossing. The terrorist hunt is fun as can be. When you layer that with a top notch multiplayer platform, this is must own for genre fans and maybe for anyone. If you like Tom Clancy, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, or shooters in general, head out now and pick this up. You won't be disappointed.

11 Months later this game is still awesome

Most likely if you are reading this, you just got your XBox 360 and are looking for games to buy. If you have had an XBox for sometime and don't own this game, you probably are into stuff like Viva Pinata and the like. Not that there is anything wrong with those games. But I digress.

I bought this game the day it came out and can honestly say that I still play it on a regular basis... The other games will give you a review of the graphics and sound and what have you, so I don't need to get into that. Look at the ratings, nearly everyone gave it a 5 star rating. This game is amazing, and a perfect blend of realism and fun in a video game.

I got Halo3 because everyone had it. Don't get me wrong, it has some cool features especially the multiplayer method of putting matches together, that is cool. But I don't dig the aliens and lasers nonsense. Maybe I will be into that in the year 2319 or whenever it takes place and when we are fighting aliens, but in the mean time, terrorist taking over casinos is more likely. People continue to play this game, and even when GRAW2 came out people shyed away and came back. The Halo hype is wearing off and people are returning to R6V.

Do yourself a favor, get this game.
