The first Rainbow Six Vegas was a breath of fresh air when it dropped in late 2006. In an attempt to streamline a series that was once focused on planning phases and punishing diffuculty, Ubisoft designed Rainbow Six less like a real world tactical op and more like an episode of 24. The end result was a great mix of action and strategy, and offered up a killer multiplayer experience.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 doesn't appear to be reinventing the series as much as the first game did. In fact, to the untrained eye you'd probably think you were looking at the same game. But beneath the graphics and gameplay, whose tweaks are minor but appreciated, some very nifty additions have been made that are sure to enthuse just about any member of the Rainbow team.

There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other's fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let's take a look.
Neil writes "It's time for some new free games as the Xbox Games With Gold scheme prepares to deliver four new free titles for all Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers to get their hands on. But whilst we've seen the quality of the scheme tail off somewhat over recent months, can the offerings for July 2016 bring a much needed summer boost?"
360 got the short straw this time but I guess there comes a point where all the free games for last gen will be 'old'
Really...you played Banner Saga 2? You have played Tumblestone? Oh thats right you haven't. And Vegas 2 is now trash? Just please stop ... you only look foolish at this point.
You're missing out on a fantastic game if you think The Banner Saga is trash....
Banner Saga 1 was a solid game so looking forward to 2 but that's about it for me this month
I actually joyed rainbow vegas 2. Its be a long time since I've played it but remembered a lot of fun with it when it came out.
@ Paytaa
Terrorist Hunt still a lot of fun even today. There are always people playing this game mode in RSV2, and to a lesser extent, people are also still playing RSV1.
July is weak rainbow six v2 is great game but now only few people is playing it. Well at least I got 1000 achievement
Trust me don't won't to hard for them.. plus rainbow six siege flop bad even with two free copy of 1&2 . People rather play cod black op 1
Yeah, Siege was a flop. Right ... It's not one the best online console shooters ever...
I'm a Rainbow Six fan, but I much prefer the Vegas series over Rainbow Six Siege. Siege was really fun for the first couple of months, but you wont see people playing it 8 years after launch like Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Siege just doesn't enough content to keep people interested enough over a long period of time.
I loved Rainbow Six Vegas but hopefully they vastly improve on the graphics which were quite rudimentary at the time and also improve upon the horrible advertisement campaign they pulled. Imagine walking down the strip and seeing Dodge cars everywhere and only Dodge cars. Then imagine the Dodge cars were not graphically designed well (not many details or polygons and it showed) and that is what he had last time. Other then that though the game did hit where all games should hit and that is the funness factor. I'd choose a fun game over graphics anyday. With Call of Duty 4 we don't have to choose.
I can only hope there is some hint of graphical improvement on this game. I can't speak for the 360 version but the PS3 version was pretty blurry (well its possible the implemented haze/fog and didn't tell anyone). I hope they get fixed atleast. Other than that...RB6 provided me with a great 6 months of gaming pleasure.
For me...this is my AAA title...until MGS4 drops.
