I just played through this,I've been playing Rainbow Six:Vegas before so I thought I'd give this a try.First the visuals and sound are superb,the outside combat is really cool,love the maps,but the controls are lacking.My biggest complaint is the taking cover feature.In Vegas just like Gears of war you push a button to manually take cover,in this one though its automatic.You walk up to a wall and it automaticlly takes cover,this sounds good but its really not.Throughout the game I did and did not take cover when I wanted it to,it can be awkward.Having said that there is just to much good not to give it 5 stars.Be warned though Rainbowsix Vegas is a better game,so get that one first then go here.
Don't have to deal with out of this world HaloHeads or GearGrunts that are just way out of my league. This is a realistic RPG with a HUGE variety of modes, situations, weapons, and maps. UNBELIEVABLE!
I've just gotten started playing this game, and I have to admit I was a little intimidated by it at first. I played some of the first GRAW and had some difficulty understanding the cross comm. I enjoyed the game play and graphics but didn't get too far in it. I decided to trade it in and get GRAW 2 since it was new and highly touted. I have been more than satisfied with my purchase. The graphics are about as good as Gears of War (some of the cut scenes don't look as good as Gears) and the cross comm seems a little easier for me to grasp this time around. I don't know if it's because Ubisoft simplified it or because I'm simply familiar with it after playing GRAW. Anyway, once I got started and completed the training section I was hooked. If you like shooters you have to check this one out.
"Super-sharp... Best of it's kind... Needs a faster way to the select-fire and grenade launcher, but otherwise just short of perfect."
"Great game, played graw and now this, very good game. New weapons, commands and multiple features."
