Grpahics are great, but gameplay and multiplayer were average. The biggest disappointment was co-op campaign. The additional person is just along for the ride unable to perform any special functions pertaining to the missions.

I played through the first game and had a fun time with it, and I bought the second because of the lame ending of the first. If you liked the first game, you'll like the second. I cannot really tell a difference. Move checkpoint to checkpoint and kill the terrorists in between. That's basically the game.

Excellent Game

This is an excellent game! Better than the first R6V, in many ways. The Co-Op though the entire campaign, and over XBL, then the bullet penetration for the kill through cover moves all make this a very worthy step up from the previous Rainbow Six games. I have enjoyed every moment playing, and then to be able to just drop into a friends game to help him through a difficult area makes for a great gaming experience.
I can only say that the only drawback that I have seen is the continuation of the triggering the enemy system. Where you enter an area and then get to a specific spot and then the enemy comes barreling out of all corners. I really wish that they could have taken a tip from early Ghost Recon games and just set up static roaming patrols, and then also your stationary guard this point enemies. The triggering system makes for an unrealistic gaming experience when you tend to scope and snipe, before moving into an area.
But that does not take away from the overall gaming experience for me. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy playing this game, both solo, or with friends, and across XBL. I would defiantly recommend it to any FPS fan.

Great Shooter game

I'm new to the Rainbox 6 games and Vegas 2 Limited Edition is my first time I ever played a game like this and I now see what I've been missing! The limited ediition comes with an extra CD that has a lot of helpful hints, strategies and tips on how to play the game on and off line. Being a newb to this genre of gameplay getting the Limited Edition version helped my gameplay a lot. I would definately suggest anyone who hasn't played Rainbox 6 before (like me) and looking for a fun shooter game get the limited edition. Play the game for a week then watch the extras CD. It definately helped me to understand the strategies within the game.

Only bought it for the bonus!

I bought it ONLY for the poker chip keychain for the bf. He loves the keychain but the game, well, he already played it. Whatever makes the man happy. =) I do remember watching him play it and the graphics were quite good.

Online Update Ruined The Game

I was a big fan of the first one. And I liked this one before the software update which ruined the tactical aspect of the game. If you are interested in this type of game, buy Call of Duty 4, its a much better game in every aspect.

I have been a Rainbow Six fan since the begining of the franchiese. There have been some good ones and some bad ones. The first Vegas was owesome, I spend countless hours of fun in that game playing retrieval with friends, but in Vegas 2 I am dissapointed because there's no Retrieval. I think Ubisoft released R6V2 too early because the game is full of flaws. I've finished the story mode in Realistic but it didn't gave me the achievement for it, neither the achievement for Private First Class and some times when I'm playing my screen goes into slow-motion. I think you can still have fun if you play with a bunch of friends over XboxLive.

This game is very much like the first but has sprint, new guns, and new maps. The maps I think are a little worse then the orginal but the guns I think are suprior to it. The sprint is definetly a huge benefit.
