Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas Reviews

Great game

Erdal Kaya Simulator: Origins

great game worth the price.

This is made by Ubisoft so I warn against buying it because who knows they might decide to delete this from your library one day if they feel like it since we are supposed to "get comfortable with not owning" our games

-{Graphics}--- The old PS3 looking graphic. The Vegas looks stunning to me, i was in a jawdropping moment once i saw it. ---{Gameplay}--- The gameplay is tactical shooting, where u will be accompanied by two (2) allies. This game has the First-Person View and Third-Person View, which makes this game dynamic in terms of gunfight, What I love about this game is they have the THERMAL VISION, which for me looks surreal, although the night vision could gone better but thats the limit of UE3, COD2019 still has the best night vision due to modern tech. Wonder if we get another tom clancy vegas? Hmm. The enemy AI got hands i tell u, (im playing on realistic difficulty) if u played Far Cry 1 u will know. The rope climbing is dope, we can see that now in R6 Siege. Missions are okay. Giving orders to your ally is a great mechanics but no no if u want to stay stealth and hidden bcs they dont crouch. ---{Audio}--- Cant speak much for the audio especially for the gun SFX but i can tell u if u were fighting enemies there will be a soundtrack just for that. Consider it as an indicator if there still enemies around bcs the song will stop once all cleared. One bad thing about this there is no subtitles to toggle on. ---{Audience}--- Well its an old game, doesnt harm to say this is for all ages of audience. ---{PC Requirements}--- Even potato PC can run this ---{Difficulity}--- Not sure about normal but the realistic can hit like a truck, and the vision on blood loss can hinder u from seeing things ---{Grind}--- Nothing to grind, nothing to unlock. U prep ur equipments, do missions, and kill enemies. ---{Story}--- Not bad, ur standard backstabbing shooter game. Cant judge till proven ehh? ---{Game Time}--- Jeez im having hard time on this one. If u play on normal, u might get 2-4hours from this. Since this game doesnt savepoint often, if u fail a mission, u will start from ur last checkpoints (I dont know how to put this). ---{Price}--- Dirt cheap, get it either full price or discounted ---{Bugs}--- There is a bug where i encountered during the mission to extract data on the enemy data hub, u cant progress at all. So u need to restart the level ---{Verdict}--- A good tactical game with a good gameplay. I had my sweet and bitter moments with this game but overall its alright. Will pick Vegas 2 one day

It's a decent game for a 2006 game, great plot, keeps you engaged with different locations, equipment and scenarios and the ability to make choices that's best for you and your team. I wish people played the multiplayer aspect of the game but the game is still with just the story alone.

Despite Ubisoft adding anticheat over a decade after release, and modern computer architecture causing issues with diagonal surfaces, the game is still a blast. Pick it up on a deep discount.

You probably know already that "Rainbow Six" was originally a novel written by Tom Clancy. And even that it wasn't Ubisoft who created Tom Clancy's brand or first Rainbow Six game, it was them who started making true AAA Tom Clancy's games targeted for mainstream audience. And so, if we speak about Rainbow Six Vegas dilogy in particular, both those games were true hits back in 2000s - they kept tactical gameplay of previous Rainbow Six games and brought everything else on true AAA level. They also worked on the setting turning what's happening on screen to look like a big-budget blockbuster movie and I mean it is a compliment. But what's also very important, it's that all Tom Clancy's games of Ubisoft of that time were still made in technotriller genre with semi-realistic artdirection. This is very different from what Rainbow Six series are now. So, if you want to experience "true Rainbow Six", playing Vegas dilogy would be your best take. Yes, those both games are old but what was released before them is even older, obviously. The only thing is that while second Vegas game looks and plays pretty good even by today standards, first Rainbow Six Vegas is not that good in some gameplay aspects (for example, checkpoints are placed just terrible) and it also aged in terms of graphics (but Vegas still looks good at night here). Still, I did advise you to just grab both these games on sale and to play their campaigns at least once - it will be worth it.

Personally had a little better experience with Vegas 1 than Vegas 2. Especially as the friendly AI was much more useful and got stucked on geometry only twice during whole campaign - much better than in Vegas 1. Still its far from perfect and if one wants to have the area properly cleared it is neccesarry to command them only few meters at a time. Enemy spawns were also much more sensible, with exception of dam level (I had to look up guide only to find that there is enemy spawn right behind teammate doing hacking}. Environment variety is probably slightly worse than in Vegas 2. Las Vegas is boring enough to set one game in it. Making two is just a quick cashgrab with recycled assets. Combined with 2000s muddy filter every city level looks the same. Level design is passable - there are few chokepoints where going in first is absolute deathtrap and one might as well reload if both friendlies got knocked out. Gunplay is good, sometimes cover is little broken but in most cases it all works fine. Minor gripe is completely unmanageable full auto - strong recoil combined with strong flash makes it applicable only on point blank - quite unrealistic as the protagonist should be skilled enough to handle them. Than again suppresive fire is not a thing here so there aren't much usecases for it anyway. Difficulty is generally quite balanced - even playable on an controller (tough gyro aiming is must). Story is there probably. Its evil terrorist doing evil things like having big bombs or hostages. It's there only as a set dressing and it shows. Overall I would recommend Vegas 1 over Vegas 2. There is just so much less bs, largely thanks to much more useful friendlies. It was an interesting experiment trying to bring R6 into a modern era. If you like "tactical shooters" give it a try.
