R6V2

Alright, so lately I've been playing Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. I'll tell you this much, if you're a gamer, this is a game worth trying. Especially if you're the least bit into shooters or tactical games. And if you're like me and you played the first one, it's a huge improvement on it. Definitely worth the purchase, in my opinion.

I will admit, the game has been out for some time, so my little note of it here is old. Yes, I've had it since release, and since release, it's been probably the only game I've been playing on my 360.

Between character creation and ranking up, the game really sucks you in the way MMORPG's have been sucking people in lately. You feel like you're advancing, even after the game is long beaten. Now, I'm only a lieutenant at the moment, who knows if I'll still feel the same way after I hit Colonel or Elite, but damn, getting there is half the fun!

Aside from that, it's a very realistic feeling game. Some of the guns aren't quite exactly the same as their real life counterparts, but it comes very close. Close enough to impress me, and I've been gaming since games used a single stick and a single button.
If you can ignore the occassional glitch (most of which were fixed in a recent patch), I think you'll be suitably impressed with the maps and graphics.

I think honestly, my only complaint is that the weapons aren't totally authentic. Weapon range, accuracy, and stopping power doesn't quite live up to the real thing. But then, if I wanted the real thing, I'd join a SWAT team.
