Online, it’s a real treat.Īgain, compared to Call of Duty 4 visually, Vegas 2 doesn’t win many points. If you can really get to grips with things, you’ll find yourself wasting months on Vegas 2’s varied and exciting multi-player options. Not only can you play through the entire game via co-op, but there’s a mass of terrorist hunting missions to explore and play both on and offline. It’s not quite as powerful as Call of Duty 4, but it’s certainly a hell of a lot better than the kind of drivel we’re usually faced with.īut that isn’t all. A good half dozen hours is all you’ll need to see the final credits roll to a fairly satisfying conclusion. There’s some really cracking stuff in there if you manage to hit the highest levels.ĭon’t expect the single player campaign to last you too long mind you. Each kill you make earns you experience points, which eventually opens up all new avenues of armour and weaponry for you to try out. You’ll constantly be given brand new options too. And a whole heap of add-ons for each, allowing you to outfit your character in exactly the kind of killing tools you desire. There’s a mass of powerful weapons, from single shot pistols, through to huge assault rifles. Everything from knee pads, to gas masks are available, each of which affecting your speed of movement and ability to keep you breathing.īe prepared to be as eager to experiment with your choice of weaponry too. Thankfully you’re able to clad your character in all kinds of armour to help you keep your life intact. It’ll only take a few hits to kill you, so keeping your head safely behind some decent cover is absolutely essentially if you want to stop these terrorists killing thousands. Over-turned tables, piles of bricks, rubbish bins, almost anything in Vegas 2 is a hiding spot. Think the fantastic cover option of Gears of War tweaked to even higher levels of perfection. You and your two team mates will be constantly inching your way through the levels, making use of every semblance of cover you can spot. Unlike Call of Duty however, Vegas 2 is much slower paced. A bit like the sublime Call of Duty 4 in that regards. You’ll be constantly handed over brand new areas to reach and actions to perform. Same as always, Vegas 2 is all about fulfilling objective after objective. An invite might be a touch difficult when they’re trying to blast your brains out. Let’s strap on that body armour and see what "tangos" we can take out (as in kill, not a trip to a nice local restaurant). Set before, during, and after the events of the first Vegas game – where one of your team mates cheekily double crossed you – it aims to offer much more of what we all loved during the first romp through the Sin City. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (and breathe) is the least tactical of the Clancy titles. He’s sold millions of books, "advised" on a multitude of films, and the various games with his attached name are almost as popular as Santa. (Pocket-lint) - Tom Clancy must be really blooming rich by now.
