I was playing Call of Duty 3 before getting VEGAS. I'm playing VEGAS now. I love the tactical side of the game and your mates really do play well as A.I. The colors are also really sparkly. Don't worry about being dissappointed with this one. Get it.

Excellent Game! The most fun on XBox Live since Rainbow Six 3!

Incredible multiplayer experience. Balanced gameplay and fantastic return to form for the Rainbow Six franchise!

Rainbow Six delivers another stellar title

I really, really like this game. The single player campaign is a blast and the enemy A.I. makes it a worthy challenge for even the most seasoned gamers. The multiplayer, of course, is probably some of the best online gaming that I have ever experienced with great co-op and adversarial matching. Graphics are top notch plus the overall sound design is just about perfect.

I wouldn't say that this game is for everyone, as it is a little slower paced and is by no means a run and gun shooter. This is definitely a one shot, one kill type of game and emphasizes the importance of staying under cover. Still, the sheer amount of insanity that happens during a close quarters fire fight makes this game an experience worth checking out. Just the other day while playing an online co-op match with three others, I made the mistake of rappelling past a building window three stories up without checking it first. To make a long story short, after the match, one of the other guys told me that he looked up just in time to see the window explode outward and my body fly back and down to the street below from several well placed shotgun blasts.

Character creation reaches a new level also with the ability to put your own face on your character using the Xbox Live Vision camera. It's implemented really well and you'll be surprised to see just how good it looks after you complete the short process. A big plus!

All in all, I am strongly recommending this game. It's a lot of fun, there's a huge community online playing as we speak and there's hardly anything wrong with it to speak of. If you liked Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, chances are you'll love this.

best 2006 shooter...

I played all the big ones of 2006, and I think RSV is the best. Gears of War is better looking, Splinter Cell (kind of a FPS) had some better story elements and cool things to do, but overall Rainbow Six Vegas is the best shooter of 2006. Without question it is the best multiplayer shooter of the year as well, as it is a very realistic and powerful platform for multiplayer matches.
The only downside is that the single player campaign is very very hard. Literally sometimes you have to die 20 times or so in trying different ways to make it through a nasty area full of enemies.
Another wonky thing about the single player is the varied accents that come and go in the game. This black guy about halfway through the game (maybe I didn't notice the accents until then, but then it was like they were hitting you in the face with them. bad voice acting) starts sounding like an Aussie, and your character starts to sound like some banjo player from Deliverance. Weird, and poorly done.

Great Game

I bought this game for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. He thinks the graphics are great and the missions are fun. He does get frustrated because he keeps dying at the same part but that is part of the fun he says.

Great quality and timely service

The tactical shooter is my kind of game so it only follows that I would love this game. The graphics are great and as always, so is the multiplayer. I really enjoy the new additions to the multiplayer online especially some of the difficult terrorist hunts which are quite challenging at times. I'm addicted again like I was to the original. Perhaps I'm too old to be playing these games still....nahhhhh, they're too much fun!

Alot of fun to play online with friends!

This is my first game on the XBox and the first time I have played a first person shooter and I am enjoying it alot!

Alot of fun to play teams or play against the computer with friends and be able to strategize with each other in real-time.

The "True Identity" feature is awesome.... you get to map your face onto the character using an XBox Live cam... such a trip to have the character look back at me on my screen and it's me!
