This is my favorite game for PS3 by far, I love the ranking system and the online play.
The Single player is fun as well, but I love to play online.

R6V2 is worth playing

R6V2 was the first purchase I have made of this series. I have to admit, it's a great game and worth the purchase.

As fun as the original

I am enjoying this game as much as the first Rainbow Six: Vegas, they are very similar games. If you have not played the first one I highly recommend it to fans of FPS games.

There are some differences in part 2 - you can sprint now but I don't use it often since most of the time I'm hiding behind a brick wall. There are armor options I don't remember from the first game and some other neat tricks - like now you can have your AI partners throw grenades which is nice.

All together, nothing revolutionary here but as a huge fan of the first game I wasn't looking for much to change, more of the same is still a lot of fun.

Great game!

One of the best FPS games I've ever played. The single player campaign is short, and while some may say the story is forgettable, I found it gripping. There was never a dull moment throughout the single player portion. Multiplayer has so many options, that it will allow almost any fan of the FPS genre to find their niche and have a great time.

Production values are an improvement from the original Rainbow 6: Vegas. The game is visual stunning while the ambience of the music sets the mood. Sound effects for weapons and equipment are realistic, however some voiceovers of the terrorists are repetitive.

Overall, this is one of the best FPS games to come out this year. It will give any fan of the genre limitless options in their multiplayer adventures, yet still provide a solid single player campaign. A must buy!

Slow and disappointing

I love FPS games and was expecting more from R6V2. The story mode consists of a team mode and single player mode. In the first few chapters, you have two computerized companions who obey your commands (most of the time). You have to tell them to "Stack Up" at every door which becomes tiresome pretty quickly. Then all of a sudden, it's solo time. That's when it really goes down hill fast. My character has the heaviest and strongest body armor and caries two LMGs -- which is more than adeqaute for most situations (except maybe sniping). Since it's a game, I not too worried about the over-penetration of bullets that the game warns you about (LOL). Anyway, my tank player is slow to say the least but he should be bullet resistant to say the least. Not so in R6V2, he dies consistantly with one shot. Go ahead and walk into a room with 3 "terrorists" and see how long you last.

My other comments are related to gameplay. First of all if any real action occurs (like you're shooting somebody who is shooting at you) the game gets jerky and skips for a few seconds (WTF?). Secondly, it takes forever to reload from a checkpoint after you get killed (easily 10-15 seconds). And lastly, the checkpoints are really far appart (like every half an hour if you do everything right). If I've been down the same set of stairs 10 times killed 15 terrorists 10 times, I don't really want to do it next time I respawn.

When the opening credits ran and I saw Unreal Technologies, I new instantly I was in for a disappointment since Unreal Tournament 3 was such a let down too. I hate to say I told you so -- but I told you so.

In my opinion, Call of Duty IV is the the best FPS game ever made - Period. End.

Oh, one last thing: The Limited Edition DVD consists of about 20 minutes of mindless interviews with "professional gamers". "It's like, you know, you have to bounch a grenade of the wall just right." Blah, Blah, Blah... If you're still set on buying this game, get the standard edition (unless you REALLY like the poker chip keychain).

720 at best !

I was really disappointed with this game, although I only paid 29.99$ for it when it was on the lightning deal, but still I was shocked when I put it on and it only supported the 720 output so my HDMI cable was absolete I could have gotten that on the component.

The keychain looks cheap, actually the whole case looks cheaply made.

Overall it's OK.

Fun game

if you love the rainbow six trilogys youll love this one, a little slow, and its only 720p witch was very disapointing, but overall a good game. what really sucks is the 30 minutes I had to wait for the PS3 to download updates for the game, then another 15 min for the game to upload...ya that kinda Sucks!!

COOL game

I rented it. The graphics are average at best. That alone tuned me off. I play COD4 and it's just not close. The player customization is crap, again because the graphics are so poor, especially for the times.

This game could have been GREAT. I'd give it a 7 and that's being nice. I just don't understand these 9 plus reviews.

The game is flying off the shelves it appears.

Finishes what the first one started.

Not enough new here to stand on its own but for those who liked the first game it's a worthwhile completion of the story.
