Rainbow Six: Vegas

I got a few xbox360 games for xmas. Call of duty 4 was one, Halo 3 was the other and Rainbow Six Vegas was the last one. It took me a while to play it but when i did boy was I blown away. This was much better than i'd thought it would be. The physics are brilliant i love how i can map my own face to the character in the multiplayer section, it adds a touch of realism and depth to it. I wish that all games were like this. Adding yourself as the character brings out a whole new world and also brings a 4th dimension to the gameplay. I got so wrapped up in the game that i just blanked out the rest of the world as enjoyed being my digital counterpart of the duration of the game. Fun isn't the word i would use to describe it, totally adrenaline rush is what i would call it as you are constantly on your feet shooting at terrorists that have targeted you and ready to eliminate you at the first available opportunity. The sequel is going to have this again but this time you will be able to put yourself in THE ACTUAL STORY. Can't wait to play it. If you are like me and hate terrorists then this is the perfect game for you, you will be ridding the world of a hell of a lot of them. Be warned though, they are very cunning and could be lurking in that dark space behind you so always be ready and keep your eyes peeled for them. Good luck in the fight.

I own this game for PC, PS3, XBOX, AND PSP. So I can thoroughly speak for each version. Hands down the best version is the PC, but this was back when I was a PC gamer, and was used to the mouse and keyboard. The Xbox and ps3 versions are pretty similar, but the ps3 doesn't come with trophies. I do prefer controllers over keyboards just because it allows for easy use of the buttons. If I had to compare it to another game, it would be similar to Brothers in arms, minus the weapons sway. To this day, I still consider this game to be one of the best first person shooters of this generation.

I do enjoy using the squad commands, it adds more strategy to the game. I love the selection of weapons at your disposal, it has some of my favourite weapons. I've played through the entire single player twice, it doesn't have much replay value there. The terrorist hunt missions are my favourite, I played it more than the story mode. It simple, customize your load out and difficulty, pick a map, and eliminate all enemies. These can be a lot of fun, but do offer quite a bit of challenge. One wrong move, and it's back to the start. I only played a little bit of the multiplayer, it's pretty standard, but requires more of a strategy and team work. The graphics looked good way back when, but don't hold up as well.

The best part about this game is it's cheap now, if you can find it, buy it.
