Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (Review)

Mar 18, 2008

Sometimes, a very good game can seem like a disappointment simply because it's a less glitzy, half-step sequel to a great game. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 leaves new boy, Bishop (your playable character) in a bit of a bind. As this game is part prequel, part sequel, part concurrent game, you’re never visiting the same parts of the city as you did in the first outing. And this is where Vegas 2’s first problem rears its ugly head. Until the fifth level - and these are big levels - you never get within 50 feet of a casino. Not a whiff of neon. Not a whisper of coins ...

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 trailer and release date (News)

Jan 11, 2008

Squad-based action doesn't get any better than a good old Tom Clancy title. This holds true for even the latest addition to the Tom Clancy video game series with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

The video trailer of the game looks more like a movie rather than anything out of a next-gen console. You're sure to appreciate the highly detailed visuals the developers from Ubisoft Montreal have put into creating the realistic in-game environment effects.

Judging from the trailer, it definitely looks like the game will concentrate on the seedier side of Vegas as you and your squad will have to take on all manner of terrorist elements in this exciting sequel.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is slated to come out by March 11 this year and will be available for the PC, Xbox 360, and the PS3. In the meantime, why not enjoy the trailer we have for the game below!

Shocking first Rainbow Six Vegas 2 details: The game is set in Las Vegas (News)

Dec 21, 2007

Destructoid voice their opinion:

"Scheduled to hit the PS3, 360, and PC next March, it doesn't look like Ubisoft's RSV 2 is set to offer many surprises. What we could have assumed: the game will contain an expanded multiplayer mode, as well as an expanded co-op experience; there would be new weapons and armor; and the game would take place in Las Vegas.

In a press release issued today, our the complete lack of surprises have been confirmed. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as Rainbow Six Vegas was more than a solid title, and one that offered a top-notch tactical multiplayer experience. On that front, Ubisoft are offering 13 new maps, two new adversarial modes, and an improved matchmaking system. Players will also be able to create their own identity, which they'll be able to use in both single-player and multiplayer modes; progress or rewards gained in the single-player game will be reflected in multiplayer, and vice versa.

Besides Ron Workman getting drunk in the Luxor and yelling at strangers about how Criss Angels "floated to the ceiling," I didn't realize Vegas had such a terrorist problem. You can find more fancy details about the game's improved AI and more in the press release."

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 still on for PS3 (News)

Dec 3, 2007

Despite rumours to the contrary, it seems that Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 will be coming to the PS3 next year.

According to the latest list of PAL release dates distributed by the French publisher (and published on Gamefront.de), Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has been listed as being down for release during Q1 2008, the same as the Xbox 360 version.

Rumours that the PS3 version had been delayed or even dropped started circulating last month after only the PC and 360 were mentioned on the game's product page on the Ubisoft website.

While the product page remains unaltered, given that Ubisoft has mentioned the PS3 version of its release schedule, it seems that PS3 fans haven't been forgotten after all.
