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
