I bought this game on Tuesday and had several times where tha game has frozen to where my controller wont even shut down. I have also had alot of glitches where my teamates will jitter back and forth and not respond to where I send them. I have to go back to them, lead them to a different location with me and hope they dont freeze again. Wasted about 10 minutes getting them unstuck in the parking garage. I will be returning this one tomorrow. I think they ran out of things to do with this one.
I bought this game a couple of days ago and started it immediately. Played through it the first time on normal and beat it within in 6 hours. Thinking it would be more challenging on realistic I switch the difficulty. First off lets just say the AI is retarded, they are in the same spot and do the same actions as normal difficulty. Second they still can't shoot, I died once on realistic, only because I forgot about a sniper. If you are looking for a challenge, look somewhere else. For online game play I can't speak for that as I haven't played it online. This game is a disappointment for graphics and gameplay in the story mode.
Wow, it took me less than 18 h to beat this game... The AI is just bad, it reminds me of some of my first shooter 10-12 years ago!!! The control are clumsy, must be remapped, and the game crashed 4 time on my 360.... I am REALLY disapointed, RSV 1 was such a great game
It's Funny to read the comments from "user" on my review: Looks like Ubisoft PR is trying hard to save this game from the hall of shame.
This game made some improvements over the last Vegas. I can't stress enough how much i hated being required to play with people to advance in PEC, and thankfully, they've done away with that.
I'm also an enemy of any game that forces you into a character, so I like how this one uses what ever you make.
However, at the same time, they took Rainbow Six Vegas' worst problem, and made it even worse. Terrorists spawning at point blank range with shotguns. That alone pretty much negates all forward progress this game's made, in my eyes.
The original Rainbow Six Vegas was a well constructed game, and very fun despite its few problems. So I was eagerly looking forward to the sequel. I was not disappointed.
The core of the gameplay remains the same. All the mechanics from the first game are in here as well. In fact, if you ignore the new features, it would feel as if you were playing the same game. Unfortunately, this means that you kept the downsides as well, but more on that in a minute. The added features come as a welcome addition. The ability to do a scan and see the position of bad guys occasionally is really nice. It adds another layers of strategy onto of a already strategic game. Also, the ability to throw either grenade without having to switch which is equipped is also a bonus. It allows you to think more tactically in a situation, and react with more options.
The AI is still a problem, both for you and for the bad guys. Even on the hardest difficulty, the enemy AI is both stupid and prescient. They react in the strangest ways, taking cover in areas that are completely open and acting spastic. At the same time, even if you do nothing, they know exactly where you are and their aim is unerring, which is a little annoying. And as bad as their AI is, your team AI is worse. At times it's like having to direct a band of retarded monkeys. They will often just stand getting shot at until you give them direction, not even bothering to get cover. When assaulting, they will move to their attack points, and stop. Their aim is as bad as your enemies, and you will find yourself having to do most of the heavy lifting.
The story itself is passable, and eventually picks up at the end of the first game, which is nice. It is still the standard, goofy FPS plot-line, but what can you expect.
Overall, this is a fun game to play, and worth both your money and your time.

It is a shame to let individual sell items on your site and not provide any response!!! Take our money and run!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a disappointment. Aside from the fact that it's basically a rehash of the first episode, my copy of the game was/is plagued with all kinds of bugs /technical glitches...the most annoying being the fact that the game cuts out 3/4 of the way through playing the primary storyline. I get a 'Disc Unreadable' error and then it craps out. After several attempts to get ahold of ANYONE at Ubisoft, I've resigned to just selling it at Gamestop without even completing the game. Awful.
Despite giving the impression of a "more of the same" sequel prior to launch, RSV2 managed to win my heart in ways the first could never imagine. There are still a few problems, but overall the game is adequately polished and highly addictive.
A tactical shooter, by definition, is geared toward teamwork and strategy. It only seems natural that such a game should offer a truly superb cooperative experience and RSV2 does just that. Be it split-screen, co-op campaign, or even terrorist hunting, there is a heap of great team-oriented play to be had here.
The best part is that in delivering a co-op smorgasbord, RSV2 (unlike certain other co-op focused games) didn't sacrifice the single player campaign. With seven acts consisting of several scenes each, you've got hours and hours of solo play available as well. The scenes and environments, though not particularly unique to Las Vegas, are extremely detailed and offer wide variety. My favourite place involved an indoor rock-climbing facility- an extremely creative idea, in my opinion.
The pièce de résistance for me was the character development through experience. Your character, complete with the myriad of possible unique armour, clothing and weapon combinations, are persistent throughout any game mode- online or off.
For all its glory, though, the game is not entirely without flaws. As cool as most of the unlockables were, some just didn't make sense. Who thought that pink camouflage was a great idea for a high-level reward? The AI is also still more A than I, with terrorists stupidly running into your crosshairs despite how many already felt your wrath. Your teammates can also be complete dolts when it comes to ordering grenade tosses or staying within the cover of their own smoke.
In spite of these minor blemishes, the bigger picture of RSV2 is still quite magnificent. Online or off, there is enough replay value here to last a very long time. If you can only buy one shooter right now, this may be the one you want!
This game is fun and great. Theres nothing wrong with this game you people should give things a chance either that or you suck at shooting games, but this is a fun game. The story mode was great the stages were great with nice background and design, and the graphics are nice. Terrorist hunt is fun to even when 2playrs, so this is a fun game.
I was totally disappointed with the game especially after loving the first vegas. My problem with this sequel is that it played it too safe. There was not enough change to make it feel like a sequel. The gameplay is still a blast but it was just as fun two years ago so I felt like I was playing an older game. This is a bummer because games should make one feel like their playing something new even it it is similar. This game suffers from a lack of imagination. Even the story of the first game was better than this. Generally the game is enjoyable but definitely not worth $60. I would recommend waiting until this game is $20-30. Even the multi-player does not stand out out with games like Call of Duty 4 out there.
this is by far the hardest game i have ever played. I am about half way threw campaign and i have died atleast 100 times, playing on the easy difficulty! Other games like halo and call of duty i can beat easily on normal and with some difficulty on hard. I have decided to finish campaign just so i can feel like i got my moneys worth but the fustration it is bringing me is putting me on the verge of insanity. Stay very far away from this game!!!!!!
Just bought the game, and this was the worste 60 dollars spent. Graphics are nothing to brag about. Gameplay is nothing special, feels like I am playing a game that game out years ago. Tom Clancy needs to step his game up. I will be returning this game to EB Games ASAP. COD4 for the win.
Do Not Buy!!!
