Addicting, Complete, And Playable
Combine the popular "Dynasty Mode" and customization options of sports games with the great take-cover functions of Gears of War, and the weaponry and tactical realism of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and you have Rainbow Six: Vegas, probably the most complete shooter to date.
Let me jump to the custom character section right off: this is SICK. Using your Xbox Vision Camera, you can create an uncanny shaved head version of yourself to use in the game, and online. You can then customize your weapons, rated on accuracy, range, and damage, as well as your shoulder, chest, arm and leg armor, which force you to choose between mobility and protection. You can shoose to have a super-zooming rifle scope on your pistol or rifle, or a laser sight, or more. All prettied and ready to go?
Playing any number of games, either in single player or online or multi-player will earn you experience points and medals. The more points you receive, the higher your rank (you start off as a Private Second Class), allowing you access to even more customizable items.
To the gameplay: intuitive and useful, RS: Vegas doesn't throw in any useless controls. You can single click to put a silencer on your weapon, switch to night or thermal vision, or invert yourself upside down on a rapelling rope. You can look inside rooms with a snake cam before you enter, fire blindly around a corner, or detonate explosives from a distance.
The AI is superb; you can run the same mission three times in a row and never have the "enemies" in the same areas, or in the same amounts. If you faced four guys in the opening building the first time around, you might face two guys, with the other two sneaking around to flank you on your second try.
Adopting the Gears of War health system, where you take non-permanent damage that instead impairs your condition and requires taking cover to heal, works wonders for this game...you can't just bum rush enemies guns ablaze, because they're bound to cap you with a headshot.
It's a great game for the more patient sort, and might take some adjusting by those recently spoiled on Halo 2 or Gears of War, in terms of aggressive play. My only complaint (as one spoiled by the latter) is the lack of a run button to cover open ground, but hey, it forces me to take better cover.
Highly recommended, especially for the online co-op option.

One Of The Best On 360
This game not only draws you in with it's incredible graphics and gameplay, but the story is actually something involving. This game is very intense, but controls beautifully under pressure; Some Ghost Recon-type elements have been added to your movement, such as being able to seek cover and fire from around corners. Commanding your team has never been easier, and they actually help you more this time around; The enemies are smart and numerous, making some levels last as long as almost 2 hours to get through; But most of all it's REALLY FUN!! It is nice to see this console finally produce a game that hits all the right marks. I was overly impressed with this game...Plus I love all the shiny colors!! Ubisoft got this one right all the way around! And in case I haven't stressed this enough--the graphics are amazing, even on a non-HDTV.

Fantastic Game!!
It's hard to really describe how much fun I've had with this game. The graphics are supberb, the sounds also amazing. Grenades sound real and powerful, as does shotguns, etc. Especially with a solid surround sound system.

I've almost completed the campaign and have done most of the T-Hunt Missions. Both are very fun to play, and I LOVE the fact that you can do both co-op with a friend ON THE SAME SCREEN. Many other games force you to play co-op type missions online or don't offer them at all. But, RB6 also offers the co-op features online, as well as a wide array of VS modes to keep things interesting.

The only small complaint I have with the multiplayer is that only two players can play on one console, you have to set up a system link to be able to get 4 buddies in on the game.

Nonetheless still tremendously fun, and I like the "call of duty" style health system that is implemented (can take several hits but will need to duck for cover and then you'll regain health and be able to go back to business), whereas I remember the old school RB6 games it seemed like it was always one or two hits and that's all.

But they do have a "realistic" difficulty setting you can choose which I havent played with too much but I'm sure thats likely a more frustrating option.

I can't wait till the next Ghost Recon game comes out I believe in march, I'm hoping it is every bit as great as this game turned out to be!
