Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (Xbox 360)

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sequel to the popular Tom Clancy series, it released in 2008.

This is a multiplayer game, that's the selling point here. A popular and enjoyable multiplayer was probably the reason most people played it. The best aspect is definitely terrorist hunt, which is a cooperative horde mode. These are the reasons to play Vegas two, it's an online shooter basically.

Now, the reason I play game; story. BLERGH. Absolutely terrible, if it wasn't coop, I wouldn't have bothered at all. I didn't think the first game was great either, but I at least enjoyed some of the campaign. Here, it's just there to add more to the game, but don't bother, seriously. Cliché, pointless and just generally shit.

Here's my main issue though, this game came out in 2008. That's one year after Call of Duty 4. Just compare these two for a second. Back when they were developing this, they must've realised that was their competition and the heights they had to reach. The graphics are ugly as fuck, the people look like test dummies dressed in SWAT gear. The controls are outdated, they were in the first game and they still didn't update it. The game is boring, weak story and bland voice acting. It's really poor and I was expecting more because I heard so many good things.

I really don't know what else to say. The multiplayer is good but it's not that popular now, terrorist hunt is by far the best and fun with friends, if you can get past the poor controls, the story should just be skipped completely. It's a short review, but in my eyes, that's all it deserves. They didn't even seem to try and beat CoD 4, it's not a surprise that it never became a trilogy and why there was a seven year gap until Siege came out in 2015.
