 Really awesome game July 16, 2008
this game really accelerates the feel of the legacy that is Tom Clancy's rainbow six. it really was one of the best games that i have played although it was painfully short on the normal game difficulty. the second should really answer some questions, so i would get both of them to really get the full game story which lacks a little in RSV as the story is bitted together whith the picture-in-picture briefings that don't really make any sense, though the point of any given mission is to kill the terroist. This is made more exciting with the variety of ways to enter a room and clear it etc. the commands are really just fantastic with the variety of ways to get to a certain place or room, which really just makes the overall game 4 stars since the story and motivation don't really shine though the graphics are simply amazing.
Rainbow Six Vegas - Set-up for sequel June 25, 2008
The game was a blast to play. The final battle was far easier than I would have expected and I was somewhat disappointed when it was over. In fact, I was still moving from cover to cover thinking more terrorists were going to pop out somewhere - especially after the seemingly large number of tangos that took over Dante's Inferno.
The ending is a drag. . . No real set-up, no closure just a single line designed to pimp the sequel. I am OK with game sequels and many are better than the originals. But I do like it when the game I am playing at least reaches some level that ends rather than awaiting resolution later (although I already have my copy of RS: Vegas 2).
Gameplay is easy to learn if you follow Jo's instructions in Mexico. The complexity builds so that you're not killed all the time from the outset. You cannot let your teammates die - which is slightly unrealistic - and to prevent that from happening you have an unlimited number of revival shots for them - also unrealistic. Your team never runs out of breaching charges, flashbangs, or ammo and, as such, make great bait.
You, on the other hand, can easily run out of things if you don't notice the stock-up crates placed throughout the game. I was new to the RS franchise and did not really notice the crates initially and, instead, took the weapons from dead tangos. Not a bad plan, but not the best plan either (although, it did seem odd that there were supply crates strategically located throughout Las Vegas for use by special forces teams).
A number of battles seem ovewhelming and the team can end up dead pretty quick. The game requires some good small unit tactics to avoid these replays and provides you with the tools necessary to make it happen.
The only glitch I found was when i backtracked because I believed that I missed something and it re-set my save point to an earlier one but would not re-save again when I passed the later save point.
Overall, it was a fun an rather satisfying game.
Fast, action packed, shooter. May 31, 2008
This is a great shooter with a good team mode that amplifies your range of options in inspired maps. Great multiplayer, not only online but also offline (split screen co-op mode)
 Get the full package and buy them both now! May 19, 2008
Just going to say...if you don't own this game buy it, then turn right around and buy Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I thought this story was complete and gave you enough, but then the second one really completes it. Plus if you are on the 360 the experience and rank you gain through this game...you keep for Vegas 2. At this point buying just this first game isn't enough, but as everyone else said, it is hours of truly exciting gameplay.
A lot more fun than I expected May 6, 2008
I thought that a video game 1st person shooter based in Las Vegas was going to be over the top campy and silly. But I was pleasantly suprised to see that everything worked well and the game was very fun to play.
I recommend this game. Last I looked I saw it was selling used for around $[...]. A very good purchase for less than $[...].
