TeamXBOX Review - 8.4

Ubisoft swears that the Rainbow Six 3 franchise will not return to Vegas, despite the clever ways in which the story could be brought back there with what we’ve been left with. If this is in fact true, we’ve enjoyed our time there, especially during our first visit in 2006. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is a competent shooter as well—just like its high-stakes predecessor—but we have a sneaking suspicion that Ubi sunk more development dollars into the next next installment of Rainbow Six than it did into this title. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is definitely worth a look-see, but don’t expect much more excitement than the first time you plopped Lockdown into that fat, black console.

I wanted for all 3 modes, SP, Co-op, and MP........but reading both reviews has me a bit second guessing if this is worth it and the slowdown issue is bothersome that they would have this issue.

If you're that concerned about reviews, you'll be happy to know that Game Informer gave it a 93.

Agreed as too many games are being given a pass for this. No excuse to not have a game with at least a solid frame-rate with these systems.

PSM3 Review - 7.8

All in all, though, the Rainbow Six experience has improved. A bit. The idea of having the custom-character system working across the entire game is a solid one, and the improvement in team-mate behaviour makes the single-playe mode easier to digest. But as a sequel, Vegas 2 fails to deliver. Ubisoft is asking big favours of the Clancy community by demanding half a ton for this glorified expansion pack, especially as this game showcases the duller, more forgettable sides of Sin City. So like we said, it's time for Rainbow Six to step away from the craps table and the roulette wheel while it still has the Kevlar vest on its back.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

After reading IGN's review about the co-op, I was alarmed by this comment,

"The changes made to the co-op gameplay were poorly implemented. Campaign co-op was shrunk from four players down to two. But you are still joined by two AI teammates. Only the host player is able to issue commands."

Please tell me you can play 2 player co-op without the AI!!

Not in story mode. I don't like that at all. Seems like for $60 all you're getting in some new maps for versus play.

Uhm....I think at this point I am more concerned about the framerate issues from the reviews and what asianflow noted that they come to a crawl.

LMAO, the human turtle!!! No not that dam body armor again!

This game is gonna own just like the last one. That IGN review is the worst one I've heard so far. For the 360, should be fine.

I think a turtle could beat me to a spot in the map..

I love my armor! The human tank..

It sounds like the frame rate issues won't be an issue on the 360, maybe PS3. THe gameplay videos I've seen all look fine.

This game will be more of the same for sure. So if you're good with that, then it's a buy. If not, you should pass.

Yup. The fact that he's on the 360 is even more alarming.

Think I'm giving this a pass. I don't care if someone likes/dislikes a game. Frame rate and features that don't work don't justify a purchase for me. Not looking for a glorified expansion pack.

Plus, MGS, GTA4 AND Gran Turismo are all coming out soon.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

So is the framerate problems online too or just offline in the story mode?

Maybe that's a good thing I won't be able to get the game tomorrow and a lot of people will have it tonight.

Im noticing it in both. Its more frequent in story mode though. Not a game killer though, but you do notice it from time to time.

2 guys already have reported issues on the 360 with the framerate issue during SP which will probably also be in co-op, unless the graphics have been reduced in co-op. I knew going in that this is more of the same, so that doesn't bother me. What bothers me like even Pared says below, this is the second go around on the same engine and there are issues/missing features (like the 4 player co-op which I was looking forward to). I'll just wait to hear back from a few others before going to get it, that's all.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

When can someone gets the game, can you please confirm whether or not it's possible to host private matches, or all matches setup on Ubi's dedicated servers?

If it's the latter, I'll be pissed.

I have the 360 version and trust me the 360 version has framerate issues.

I've seen it first hand in the story, terrorist, and online mode. The issue pops up a lot more in the story and terrorist hunt mode though.

There's really no excuse for the framerate problem because this is the 2nd game that is using the same engine. And considering the graphics really haven't been improved, I wonder why the framerate is worse than the first game.
