The graphics are amazing and the driving experience is better than any game ever. It's so much fun causing chaos and running people over in your car and running from the cops! The missions are pretty easy with the exception of a few which are very difficult and long. Overall, it's a must have.
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?

Great game! My friends and I have been playing it since it came out in early 2008 every time we hang out. Great graphics and many good maps and weapons and clothing items and armor types and online game types. The only bad thing about this is that enemy terrorists sometimes spawn out of nowhere. For instance, in the Terrorist Hunt game type, on multiple occasions, my friend and I were standing in the corner room of a map looking at the doorway which was the only possible way a terrorist could come and reach us, and we were somehow shot from behind, which is unrealistic. Other than that, this game is perfect and better than most if not all shooter games that are out now.
What's great about it: It never gets old or boring
What's not so great: Enemy terrorists sometimes just appear out of nowhere
