This game has probably been my most wanted game since I purchased Call of Duty 4. Sadly, I was GREATLY disappointed to find it was the original put in a new box. Graphics (3.5/5): The graphics are no better than the original's. But they're still pretty good. The character faces could of used a more polish, and then again, the entire game could of used a bit more polish, but nonetheless, it's still good. Sound (4.5/5): The sound is DEFINITILY improved since the last game. I mean....A LOT. The voice acting is TERRIFIC, especially with the terrorists. I caught myself laughing sometimes at their humorous conversations that never seem to be the same. The only flaw I could find is that sometime, even if the guy is shooting right next to you, it sounds muffled and almost as though it's in a different room, but GREAT job with improving th sounds, Ubi. Game play / Storyline (3.5/5): The game play is still as great as the original. The new sprint feature brings things up to par with many of the FPSs dominating the market. The new guns are pretty sweet. As for the storyline, I couldn't really follow it that much. Maybe I was just paying to much attention to the game itself. That's how good the gameplay is. The guns feel pretty solid and great. The whole bullet penetration thing is really cool and it's a lot better than CoD4's penetration system. The enemy intelligence has been GREATLY improved and they actually use some items that they didn't in the previous game, which makes it more challenging, in a good way. Of course, with every game, you AI squadmates have their own issues, whether it be shooting at a wall while trying to kill an enemy or just running out into gunfire, which does get pretty annoying after awhile. Lastability (4.5/5): The multiplayer is probably one of the strongest points of this game. With a few new game modes and maps, it has a pretty strong lastability. Sadly, PS3 owners have been having connection issues, which will HOPEFULLY be fixed VERY VERY soon. You can now send messages to your friends and the online interface has been revamped. Final Comment: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 could pass off as the original with it's somewhat dated graphics and overall style, but keep in mind, the original was freaking amazing. With some new features, extremely solid gameplay and multiplayer, and some new guns, it shouldn't be too much of a pain to pick up this game and give it a try. Trust me, you won't regret. You'll LOVE this game, especially if you're new the the Rainbow Six series. It's probably one of the greatest games you'll buy for the PS3. A 3.75 out of 5.
