I was so excited when i heard the game came out this week, so i went to pick it up at best buy, but guess what the release date was not accurate on this website and i had to come back the next day. Maybe someone was telling me not to get it? Anyway the online is bad, maps are boring, the enemies are the same every time and i completed the a.c.e.s in a few hours. If you have R6 1 keep it and dont waste your money on this. I was a big R6 fanboy until this game came out.
What's great about it: new story, A.C.E.S
What's not so great: Online is worse than before, horrible maps, and repetitive opponents

I was long looking forward to this release. The trailers and articles look good, but as the release date got closer more and more of the review did not look so good. But I am a fan of the Tom Clancy novels and games so I jumped in. I noticed not so new graphics - which was very disappointing even though I red about them. The enemy AI is much better but almost to the point of predictability. You teammates are also better. You still have to tell me to give aid to the other teammate. Story line is also good. The tactical interface is also enhanced. You now TAG targets and have your team attach them in the order you have selected leaving you to attach or over watch your team as they make the attack. For new comers to the Rainbow series it may not be worth the investment, but the gamer that played the first Rainbow Six Vegas it might be worth it. This new game feels like an expansion pack. If you are on a budget I would invest my money in Call of Duty - 4. I have given this a 3 star because of the story line, game play, and AI improvements. Better graphics should have made this a 4 or 5 star game.
What's great about it: enhanced AI, ACES, personal settings
What's not so great: graphics are same as origanal RSV

This is a very good game. I like how it isnt run n gun and rushing to kill people like in call of duty 4 (even though call of duty is one of the best games ever made) I love customizing my guns and camos on my body, and whatever you wear your team does too. Commanding your team is easy and fun also. All in all this game definetely deserves 5 out of 5
What's great about it: story mode, guns, voice commands are cool

Overall there was not much improvement, if any, from the first Vegas. From what i have played so far, I can actually say that I enjoyed the first Vegas more. In vegas 2 the maps are too big and too difficult to navigate through. The actual shooting is terrible, if you dont connect on your first shot, you have no chance of hitting your target. The multiplayer servers are still terrible as well. It takes ages to find a game free of lag. There were no improvements in gameplay, only in unlockables, like the ACES system, plus a few new guns. When i bought this game, i was planning on playing it instead of call of duty 4, which didnt happen. I was totally disappointed in this game and have returned to call of duty 4.
What's great about it: ACES unlockable system, virtual unlimited customization
What's not so great: gameplay too slow, terrible shooting feel

I think this game should be called Rainbow 6 Version 1.5 because it really didnt improve on the original Rainbow 6. The background grapics were slightly toned down. The online matchmaking system is horrible, you cant tell what the ping rate is. I will log in to a game with a green ping rate and then notice during the game it will have gone to red. Making online play very choppy and horrendous. The online multiplayer maps are smaller with more twists and turns. Tried to make the game more like COD4 and it does an ok job in that. Now you can earn ACES point by shooting through walls, etc to help you increase rank and unlock weapons and camo. There are not enough ACES levels, I hit all 20 levels and I am still a Sergeant in the game. The XP is nice that is transfers between SP and MP but it will take a long time to rank up. In SP, your teammates help but they are as smart as bricks. They spend too much time trying to get to cover instead of helping you pass the level. At one point, they got stuck at a table (couldnt walk around the table )and I didnt get to use them for the rest of the level until I hit a check point. *Spoiler* The end Helicopter battle is fun, but not long enough. The game on realistic seemed very easy to play, I beat the game in about 5 hours of game time. I would recommend COD 4 over this game.
What's great about it: T-Hunt and ACES, Single Player
What's not so great: Graphics, online play, not enough ACES, slow

If you enjoy play halo or Call of duty please don't waste your money......this game may have been good if it was released on the Xbox (thats where the graphics stand!) but keep $60 in your pocket and go buy something worth it!
What's great about it: Cool vision like the first one.... (night, heat)
What's not so great: everthing in the game! (graphics!!!!, controls, shooting, maps
