What happens in Vegas...

Las Vegas. A city of women, gambling, and... guns? Yup. The terrorists have come to Vegas and they mean business. Naturally, you are called in to stop the threat. While the single player of Rainbow Six Vegas is short, it does help to prepare you for the real bread and butter of the game which is the multiplayer.

"You play as Logan Keller in search of two of his friends who have been captured by the terrorists. Of course, you end up in Vegas and soon you figure out that this is much bigger than you thought. There is very little more to the story. You are simply briefed in a chopper about what you need to do and then you simply jump out and do it.

"Although there is not much to the story, the gameplay is amazing! There is a great cover system similar to the one in Gears of War which brings a whole new dimension to the game. Instead of always crouching behind cover, you simply walk up to a wall or box and press and hold the left trigger. From here you can blind fire and also assess your situation.

"Weapon customization is another awesome addition to an already great package. You can fit your guns with all kinds of scopes, sights, high capacity mags, and silencers. This means that not only can you pick the right gun for the mission, but you can also customize it to fit your needs exactly. Whether you are the silent and deadly type, the run and gun type, or somewhere in between, the options are vast!

"Like I said before, the multiplayer is the bread and butter of this game. It is very addicting. It is the reason why you should get this game. When you start out, you customize your player and then get right into the game. As you win more games, you will unlock more things to customize your player. From clothes, to armor, to hats and gas masks... and pink camouflage? Yes, I think everyone has a very unique looking player. You can even use the Xbox LIVE camera to take a picture of your face and put it on your player. If that isn't customization, I don't know what is!

"The graphics on this game are beautiful and are a huge step up from the last Rainbow Six games. Rainbow Six Vegas has a very distinct look that no other game has. Everything is sharp, windows smash into thousands of pieces, and the environments are visually amazing and memorable.

"I hope this review convinced you to get this game because it is really awesome! If you are thinking of getting Rainbow Six Vegas 2, definitely get this first. You won't regret it!
