Some game franchises pull this off really well; The Metal Gear series comes to mind, as do the Half Life games. But Rainbow Six Vegas already made the big leap for the franchise by driving the game more towards a straight-up action title as opposed to the previously, strategic and heavy-handed Rainbow titles. Now don't be sending me any sort of hate mail, I liked those titles and I like the direction Ubisoft has taken the Vegas franchise, but again, the advancements the first one made are much more significant than this incarnation. By all means does it make this a bad game? Well, no, but it does create some issues." 7.5/10
