I rented this game because I was tired of dropping 60 bucks for crud games. I just completed the game in Hero mode and want to buy it for its repeatability. Next I will hit Infamous mode to be the bad guy.
This game is fun and adrenaline pumping. Heal people, shock them with various methods, increase powers gradually, purchase enhancements to that power with XP points, hone skills via side quests, and so on. This game has it all.
Anyone that likes good or bad, open play, and flying high will enjoy this game
It only takes a little while to get used to Cole's hyper movements which is good considering some games make me "car sick".
This game replaced Resistance as my fave PS3 exclusive game! It reminds me of a fine tuned, perfected Fallout 3.
What's great about it: Just about everything
What's not so great: Glitched one time which is not bad
I would recommend this to a friend!

Finally a game fully worth 60 bucks time wise!

First off, the bad....
The only bad...is that the game has glitches. It will occasionally freeze and a restart has to occur. This is simple to resolve though. All you have to do is save often so progress is not lost. One can ease any frustration by saving.
This game will take more than most games out there to complete. I love that it took me several days to complete. Most games can be played and done with in a matter of hours. Not this one!
Weapons galore..shooters..body dismembering...exploders..you name it! You can even obtain schematics to build your own!
You will face ugly creatures effected by radiation as well as big mean guys...all the while figuring out who needs to be destroyed....who needs to be conned...who needs to be used...etc.
I usually do not like RPG games but this one kicks tail! I am more into shooters so I had to get used to not always shooting. This game is great and I hope for another one...somehow.
HIGH REPLAY VALUE!!! Play a good karma guy..or girl.....then decide to be a bad karma person.....
ADDICTIVE!
What's great about it: many weapons, you decide if you are good or bad, good storyline, long game.
What's not so great: glitches

Wow. Wow. Wow. R2 kicks tail!

The sequel rarely matches up to the virgin game but this one comes very close. To entice people in R2, new weapons keep things interesting. Check out the Wraith which has a.......300 round clip. Slicing apart some chimara with this one is truly exhilarating!!!
The bad guys from last time are here with plenty more. Nagging zombie types come and ya in droves like leeches. Then there's the BIG BAD GUYS that make your heart race when one you see 'em.
This game has a good storyline, great weapons, awesome enemies, and is just pure joy to play. I am an oldie dad of 4 kids so time is limited for me. I completed this game in roughly 6 hours in two chunks. My gamer son enjoyed it as well. With his advice we escaped in less than 4 minutes to see the credits roll together.
This game is a sure buy for any shooter fan. If you loved the first one you will love this as much. Well worth the money and high replay value! BUY NOW. Do not waste money on new shooter series first.
What's great about it: New weapons, graphics, pace!
What's not so great: Hmm....could not last long enough for this Resistance LOVER!

SynopsisBehind the bright lights of Sin City lies a deadly terrorist threat. Return as a member of the elite Rainbow Six squad and end the siege for good. This time you're up against new Artificial Intelligence characters armed with thermal vision, night vision and shields. Fortunately, you have a collection of updated weapons just as lethal. Smaller maps put you in closer proximity with the enemy for more intense face-offs than ever. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 also features two new adversarial modes, added rewards and an improved matchmaking system. Leave the gambling for the casinos and don't take chances with the lives of your fellow Americans. Watch the environment change from dusk to dawn and fight through both days and nights. Make your way through new Vegas hot spots upon 11 new multiplayer maps. Updated customization options let you create a character that stays the same in single-player or multiplayer action. In the innovative new Co-op mode, bring a friend in on the action at any time without impacting the story. Select wisely from your arsenal of 11 new weapons, but beware ~ sometimes they won't be enough. That's when you'll need to rely on the intel of thermal scanning and the tactical advantages of leapfrogging. Are you tough enough to see this battle through to the end?

This had potential. The biggest downfall is that you will be playing it and it doesn't register. Come to find out the "adapter" acts up. If it is a TAD loose it does not register so your progress is messed up or you have to restart. You will not notice that it is loose until it acts up. I mean it is THAT sensitive.
They need to rework the adapter and sell for a lower price because as it is..not worth the price. Come down on price for BIG flaws....or FIX the adapter problem!
This love....not a guitar song. Odd song choice...and I LIKE Maroon 5. Just not a guitar song people.
Get this with a discount coupon or sale ONLY. It will frustrate you.
What's great about it: great concept
What's not so great: adapter coming loose
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

good but need $ reduced

This game is a solid game with some quirks. The camera view or zoom could be better with badminton and volleyball because, as is, it makes it difficult ti judge when to strike.
Other games are solid.
Although this is a solid game it is worth a tad less than what it is being sold for.
What's great about it: game variety; games u cant find elsewhere
What's not so great: should cost less

Synopsis An armed man slowly approaches you. You subtly lower your hand to your gun as you get to your feet. Your heart races and your muscles tense. You don't know whether to shake his hand or snap his neck. It's life as usual when you're a double agent who's infiltrated a terrorist organization.Step into the shoes of veteran agent Sam Fisher once again and guide him through his toughest assignment yet. If you become too aggressive and kill too many terrorists, you'll surely be discovered and pay with your life. If you're too hesitant, the terrorist cell will kill millions of innocent people. Employ real-life tactics used by today's double agents to sabotage the terrorists' plans while avoiding suspicion. You better sleep with one eye open.

Another TC hit
on March 23, 2008
Posted by: tranEboi

If you like Tom Clancy games this will be no exception. It is maybe a step below Rainbow 6, but still a solid game.
The graphics are nice but not perfect. (Too many expect perfection from PS3 and I have a little more tolerance and forgiveness.) The sound is nice.
The missions are interesting. Swimming comes into play on this one. Heck we even fight in snow under harsh conditions. This alone makes it appealing to me. Sometimes I get tired of stealthing inside of drab buildings. This has a well rounded blend of action and location.
I was disappointed with the fact that auto saves was not in this one. Later on down the game...I found it to be an asset! If I hit a hard part and succeed..it is time to SAVEEE. But keep this in mind when you start playing...no auto save..so save often!!
Solid game with replay value.
What's great about it: versatile gameplay, storyline, pace
What's not so great: could come down in price due to age

worst FPS EVER
on March 23, 2008
Posted by: tranEboi
from Houston
I do not like to rate a game so low because I am a FPS fanatic and normally like to get some use and fun out of a game.
This one is along the lines of Conflict Denied Ops for PS3. The gameplay is not even or consistent. Play any level with tankers and you will see for yourself.
Enemies are super small. Color is drab and makes it hard to decifer. (And yes I am playing on a brand NEW big screen TV...still sucks).
Sound sucks....color sux...gameplay sux.
This game is not even worth renting.
What's great about it: none
What's not so great: everything
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is well worth 169!
The song choices are awesome...well rounded. The difficulty is better than Guitar Hero..meaning...one doesnt breeze right thru it..more realistic to real instruments.
guitar,drums are solid material...no breaking!
This game is the perfect party game...move over karaoke!
What's great about it: several instruments. solid song choices
What's not so great: hmm...none.....
