The Tactical shooter of this Decade delivers again
Why the criticism this game received from so many, I yet to understand. The Vegas series is easily one of the best made, with its Terrorist Hunt agenda and awesome shooting mechanics not to mention sweet frame rate, there is simply nothing not to like about RSV2 or the first one. This game throws you right back in the midst of the action where the Terrorist are looking to take over Vegas, and your job as Bishop, is to lead the assault or the Hunt against them. There are some great locales and wide open maps that are the most exhaustive I have yet to play in a shooter. Your objectives vary from, disarming bombs, saving civilians, and taking out the enemies...And much more.... With the addition of the sprinting ability the action does pick up pace in this second installment, and its something that works really well...Especially considering the enemies AI has been revamped and they are pretty sharp as well as accurate. You can now run from one point of cover to the next, you also can sprint from side to side, something new in this genre and its useful to say the least..... The sound of the game and the weapons are top of the line, very much comparable to the sounds of COD....The visuals and graphics are absolutely stunning and watching enemies blood decorate the adjacent wall after shooting him just never gets old....The storyline is simple but good and you will be hooked as soon as you turn this game on. Did I mention the frame rate is running at 60 frames a second and never misses a beat. The A.C.E.S system is also a great addition allowing you to hone the many skills you have in combat, from a marksman, to all out assault....These also unlock weapon and camo upgrades that you constantly get to outfit throughout the game. If anything keeps this game from a perfect score it would be the lackluster partners AI and the weak MP, that just did nothing different and the matchmaking system is nothing to brag about leaving you searching for games for longer periods of time then you might want. The lobby is just one I personally care to avoid. The other thing that can get you frustrated is the DIFFICULTY...This game is one of the hardest I have yet to play, you will be reloading checkpoints way more then you care to, but that being said the gunplay never gets old and you can earn xp all over again even reloading so in its own way it is not too bad..... Bottom Line is, there are not many games that can even wave a stick at this one, it is by far the top FPS on the shelf, right beside COD 4 and if you care to do yourself some justice then pick this game up. Its worth every penny.....If you are a Hardcore FPS fan then this is a perfect fit, where as the casual shooter might not be up for the war that wages in Rainbow Six Vegas 2........ A hard and long fought battle, but rewarding in every way
