 FIVE STARS NO MATTER WHAT. August 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Alright..... yes..... it feels more like an expansion than a real sequel..
But i still give it five stars.
The enemy respawning thing is awfull...... they give you things like sniper rifles to ..... kill your enemy from far away, as you can do in the ghost recon series, because they populate the map from the beginning of the match, but here, you just have to wait until you arrive to a checkpoint to see eight or ten tangoes popping out of the air in front of you.... no surprise factor at all...... you are the only surprised one.
BUT............ FIVE STARS.
Not so many new weapons, but.......... five stars.
WHERE IS THE M14???????......... but ........ five stars.
No VINTOREZ either..... but.... five stars.
This game, like its predecesors, is the best CQB FPS there is.
If they manage to populate the maps from the begining of the matches with enemies, they will score seriously and gameplay will improve drastically.
FIVE STARS to this game.
 Over Too Quickly August 22, 2008
Pretty much everyone who picks up Vegas 2 has completed the original and knows that the ending is just the beginning. Except that it isn't. Instead you step back five years and complete a mission that doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense unless you look very closely at your team. Of course, they don't wear name tags so they have to get wounded for you to confirm their identities. So, you play through the memory scene and pick up the action in Vegas before Vegas 1 actually begins.
The interwoven storyline is one of the best features of the non-technical side of the game. It still seems ridiculous that Rainbow has randomly stashed crates of weapons and ammo throughout Las Vegas and that you seem to carry some sort of universal sound suppressor for every conceivable weapon (except sniper rifles). But realism has never been Rainbow's strong suit.
While the game is harder than the first I did not find it too difficult to complete as a single player. The 'realistic' setting will ensure that you're zapped by a tango sniper any time one is around. Situational awareness is key in Vegas 2. The new scenery is fantastic - especially battling through the backyards of the cookie-cutter houses (reminded me of Phoenix really) and the sign graveyard.
Technically, I had no issues with the game and believe that Ubisoft continues to put out polished work. The controls and layout are easy to work with and customization is pretty easy to figure out.
Overall, the game was a blast to play - although the final scenes took some frustrating replays (have to take my own situational awareness comment to heart). But I have to say that the game seemed quick and was over sooner than I would have liked.
 Decent shooter but very hard August 9, 2008
Basically the same as the the first , but very hard. Some missions I must have played 10 times or more to get past.

any game played on the 360 is awesome, but this game was amazing. graphics are great, gameplay is sweet only thing i wish there were more maps. and terrorist hunt needs to allow for more than 4 people while on system link. other than that a 10 for sure
