My Rainbow Six Vegas Review

In Rainbow Six: Vegas, you play as a Elite Special Agent on the Rainbow team. You start the game looking for a terrorist name Irena. You start off in Mexico, but soon after, two members from the squad are taken hostage and you find yourself battling terrorists who have taken over the city of Las Vegas. The rest of the game is spent looking for your teammates and trying to stop Irena from launching a nuclear weapon. There is a pretty big twist at the end of the story.

The gameplay is top-notch. You control a squad of two teammates, which are controlled by you. You can move them into strategic position, have them breach rooms with frags, breaching charges, smoke gas, etc. The difficulty is pretty high; you have to know what you are doing and have a game plan for each area, or you will get smoked quick. When your teammates get shot too much, they fall down, and you have to rescue them before they die.

The graphics aren't the very best, but they are good enough. The controls are really good and not very complicated at all. The story is pretty damn good for being a 1st person shooter (usually 1st person shooters have next to no good story).

You have access to a lot of real life weapons, including an Ak-47, Famas, G636, Desert Eagle and other assorted assault rifles, handguns and Sniper Rifles. The equipment in this game range from grenades to silencers to nightvision and thermal goggles.

The multiplayer is very fun and addictive. There are many maps out for the game, with some remakes from previous RS games. You can customize your characters look to make it how you please.

Overall, I give this game a perfect score, because it deliveries on everything a 1st person shooter should.
