Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Back to Sin City With Some New Stuffs

For anyone who ever played Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas last year, they will already know how intense and fun the game. Now Rainbow Six Vegas is back with a sequel, still in the same city but with some new fun additions.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is one of tactical team shooter based on Tom Clancy's franchise. You are a Bravo team leader named Bishop, the mentor of the first game's main character, Logan. You are back in Las Vegas to continue the story of the first game and to eliminate terrorist threat once and for all. For anyone who has played the first game, you will know that the main enemy is Gabriel Nowak, the former Rainbow Six team member gone bad. And once again, you will be teamed with Michael Walters, the demolition expert and Jung Park, the electronics expert.

The gameplay of this game is very similar to the first one, which is good because it can create an intense full-action combat complete with some simple team coordination. You can order your team to open a door, storm a room, throw a grenade, and move to a certain position just like in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. However, since Rainbow Six Lockdown, this team coordination and tactical choice has been much simplified. There are no more mission planning and elaborate team commands like in Raven Shield or Rogue Spear. This might be a dissapointment for someone who are interested in detailed planning and realistic condition. However, this simplification means broader acceptance for gamers because it is more action oriented and more gamer friendly. Basically the action in this game is intense without losing much tactical aspect of coordinating other team members. And about AI, both enemies and team members are very good. They can improvise based on locations and situations making their action looks real. However, there is some bug where the team members cannot pass through a door or stuck in some location. But after loading the last checkpoint, the bug is gone as the team members position are reset.
About the graphics, it uses the same Unreal Engine 3.0 as the original game. It gives a nice graphical effect complete with Shader Model 3.0 (SM 3.0) and blur motion. However, I notice that there is no improvement compared to the last year's release. Knowing that Unreal Engine is capable to do much more (See Unreal Tournament 3 or Assassin's Creed for comparison), Rainbow Six Vegas 2 graphics quality should have been improved, specifically in coarse texture details which makes it looks more like an XBOX 360 game than a PC game. However, overall the graphics looks quite nice with some special effects which suitable for the full-action gameplay experience. Note that to play this game, you will need a modern graphic card that supports SM 3.0.

While the gameplay formula and graphics quality remains the same as the first game. There are some additional features which makes this game more interesting. The most significant change is Vegas 2 includes a complete character editor which allows you to customise your character appearance from gender, face, armor, clothing, accessories, and arms. The best thing is that now you can use your own face for your main character by using an attached webcam in your PC. It looks really cool having the main character with your very own face. Other additions are the experience points known as A.C.E.S. system. As the game progresses, you will gain more experience points which allows you to unlock weapons, clothing, armor, accessories, and clothing colour / texture. Overall, the developer team has made great additional features which makes the game more fun.
Personally, I like this game even more than the first one. Although my dissapointment comes from the so-so graphics quality and almost no gameplay improvement. But with the same gameplay and some fun additions this game is superb. I would recommend this game for Tom Clancy series fans and any first person shooter gamers.
