An excellent game and is very fun to play. It is quite difficult, but with time, you will get the hand of it.

Better than the last one

The game play is just like the last game with a few minor exception(running and tagging hostiles) that just improved game play.

Worth every penny

I've played quite a few FPS's in my day, and this one sure is a lot of fun to play. In addition to the expansive single player story, the Terrorist hunt missions are a lot of fun too. I have a blast playing online with my buddy who just moved to another country. I highly recommend this 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.

A little old, a LOT of NEW

I may be a bit biased writing this review, since my love for the Tom Clancy series of games is widely known. I will try to do this as objectivly and non-fanboyish as I can:

Pros:
This game has been very well designed from the start and improving on the first game, I thought, would be quite difficult. However, the graphics are sharper, the weaponry is more real-world (i.e. the guns in silenced are less accurate and have less punch) and they added an XP points and achievements system to the co-op and story mode portion of the game, instead of just in multiplayer. The addition of the last thing and the co-op story mode made this game 1000X better than CoD4 or any previous Rainbow 6 title.

Cons:
While there aren't many, I'd say that most of the maps are either too small or too big and I'd like to see some more variety in the Terrorist Hunt missions. I think the controls can still be a bit clunky at times, although fine motor skills are way better in this game than the first Vegas title. The one other thing I'd like to see is better/smoother online experiences. The servers are too slow and they still have a "host advantage" at times. Nothing is perfect and it depends on connection, but hopefully they can iron this out soon.

Overall:
9 out of a possible 10. A good buy if you love FPSs!

Rainbow Six Vegas 2

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.

A tiny step up from the last

I am a big fan of FPS and this series in particular. I wasn't going to buy this one, but when Amazon marked the Limited Edition down to $29 and I had a $25 coupon credit (with 2 day free ship) I couldn't pass it up. The series is tight, and a top 5 FPS on any system. If you can't get a deal, I would wait as it is not much of an upgrade.

awesome if you never played the first

This is a great game. Best cover system around. The main gripe by most people was that it was not that different from the first RB6V. So if you haven't played the first one, pick this one up for sure. If you liked the first one, expect more of the same.

Also, they have released an update(patch via Xbox Live) that fixed most of the technical issues at launch.

good game
