So, to start. If I see one more "Xbox 360 this and that compared to PS3" I'm going to throw up. I hope you feel the same. Folks, they are 2 different systems, both are great for their own reasons, no need to compare.

So for Rainbow Six: Vegas on the PS3. I've never played it on 360, never looked at it on 360, never really cared to. All I can say is, the game plays fantastic, it doesn't feel like some "ported" game. The graphics look great, I am yet to have any loss of framerate, everything is super fluid, controls are fantastic as well.

The controls feel extremely natural, all the buttons are in just the right spot, and overall the game plays extremely well, I was very impressed. You aren't trying to quickly switch between stick and d-pad/buttons to do certain things, for instance, instead of pressing down on the d-pad to kneel, you just press down on your left thumbstick that you almost always already have your thumb on. Everything plays this way.

The campaigns are interesting and fun, and the weapons seem quite accurate. The only thing I really dislike about the campaign is checkpoint saves, in fact, I DESPISE checkpoint saves, and the checkpoints often times are far apart. It forces you to play more carefully, but can be extremely frustrating at the same time. But it's not a make or break thing.

The squad controls are very well done as well, they are extremely easy to work with, in fact, you only use 3 buttons, one to call them closer/stop them, one to tell them to hold fire or fire at will, and the last button you use to tell them where to go, which works by just looking somewhere with your crosshairs and pressing the button.

The A.I. is phenominal, your squad clears rooms properly, takes cover, etc... I was blown away. The enemies seem to work together and take cover as well. This also has the option for cover fire much like Gears of War, really neat.

Online Multiplayer is a great addition, almost everyone uses a headset as well and the player base is quite mature and pleasant to play with. The maps are great and the play types are fun too. I honestly can't get enough online multiplayer, I'm on it all the time. And it's only been a couple days since release! There are a couple glitches like lag and what not with MP, but the game was just released, most of these issues get fixed right away.

In conclusion, this game is a must have. Ignore the 360 vs PS3 garbage. Everything plays fantastic, graphics are great, and the online (FREE on ps3) works really good too with lots of players already.

Buy the game!!!!

Great game...! (The reviews are for the game, not for Amazon)

In this review section, you are supposed to rate the quality of the game, not Amazon. So by all of you giving bad ratings to "Amazon", you are all making the game look bad...Please stop this!! Thanks!

The game is great and although there are a few minor tweaks to the PS3 version of this game, it is basically just the same as the Xbox 360 version.

If you haven't played this game and you own a PS3, this is a MUST-BUY!

360 version rules, this should be no different.

This game was jaw dropping on the 360, the PS3 version will be no exception. As for the people that got jacked on the price, I dont know why you even bought into it in the first place, Amazon dosent set the price, the companies in charge of distribution to Amazon do. It was a glitch, a mistake, and im sure people that program the site are human and make mistakes too. So what I am hearing is that you as humans dont expect other humans to make mistakes? That sounds like a load of hypocrisy to me. Look, pay the 60 bones, get over it, and we can all hold hands and sing 'Mary had a little Lamb' together in the forest, k?

Game is great, sound is amazing, graphics are spectacular, nuff said.

Definitely one of the "Top 5" games on the PS3!!

This is a solid game with excellent gameplay. The control scheme is intuitive and really immerses you in the realistic action. Graphically could be better, a little hazy for my taste, but it brings to mind the real life cigarette smoke filled Vegas casinos. I have never played the Xbox 360 version so can't compare. Overall this is a must have FPS for PS3 owners and a top 5 game on the platform. NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU MANUALLY SET YOUR PS3 TO 720P AND NOT 1080i (FOR SOME REASON 1080i MAKES EVERYTHING SUPER BLURRY).

NIce beautiful

Only buy this game if your cool, 'cause this game is cool. You've got to use your brain though, very tactical if your into that stuff, (not for run and gun) which I am, so I bought it. You should to.

Finally!

Finally we have a good tactical shooter on the PS3! And finally they made another god RB6 game, after Lockdown I was worried my favorite game franchise was going down the tubes.

This game is simply amazing. The graphics are realistic and have far better textures than Resistance did. It is a little more jaggy, Ubi forgot to use AA I guess, but that is a very small complaint. The lighting is excellent as well, and framerate is smooth as butter.

That's all good, but the real beauty of this game is the gameplay. Simply amazing, this game has the best use of cover in a videogame ever. It's easy to use but it's deep at the same time. One hit kills add a completely different element to this game as opposed to Resistance. It's not a run and gun game (thank god), you actually have to use some skill. Gameplay is simply amazing.

All my favorite modes from the old Raven Shield and Rogue Spear are back, such as Terrorist Hunt and Survivor. I thought I would hate Sharpshooter mode at first since it had respawns, but it is still very fun and still manages to stay away from a run and gun type of gameplay mode. There is also Attack and Defend mode which is fun, and about 4 others that I haven't tried yet along with the standard team deathmatch and team sharpshooter. This is the game to play for team games like those!

A new addition, for Rainbow 6 anyway, is the ability to play coop missions online or split screen, which is cool, however you don't get any of the cutscenes of dialogue with it, which so far is my only real gripe about the game.

Simply put, this game is amazing and will keep me playing for year sonline. I was still playing Raven Shield up until now!! With 20 maps availiable at launch, and hopefully more to keep coming, this game will easily last just as long. Awesome stuff, buy it!!!

Awesome, Fun and addicting...

Honestly... i haven't played much multiplayer, i'm not the hardcore rainbow six guy and i haven't played it or seen it on the 360. [cuz i can really care less about that system...]

However... all that doesn't matter because this game is freaking awesome!! I can also say that my 1st gut instinct was to give this game a 4 star because the online play isn't as gorgeous as campaign mode and there really isn't anything to new about the game as a First Person Shooter. But... i love the awesome graphics, i love that they placed it in Las Vegas, and it is pretty challenging and makes you think about how you want to approach situations, and you can play co-op online and most importantly... it's just a really fun game to play... so i'm going to have to give it a 5 star. It deserves it! IGN's Game of the month! whoo hoo!

A must own for First Person Shooter and PS3 Fanatics!

great game
