Sure, I miss the glitz from the first game, but the series has always been pretty much the same w/the exception of it's ever-evolving control and command scheme; These games are now 2nd nature to fans in terms of control, and everything worked smoothly for me. If only 'Army of Two' had taken a nod from any of the Tom Clancy games in this regard. I also appreciate the fact they put in a 'casual' gamer option. While not for me, I know people just starting out on console gaming, let alone a FPS's, could use the help at first. Colorful and intense, this game is just fun and great at what it sets out to do. We all know what to expect from the series by now, and this delivers more of the same...in a good way. Nice ranking upgrades in single player mode, as well as weapon selections and upgrades. The character model selection is also kind of fun. However, some better locations and more shiny, bright lights would have made this a five star game. Also. I thought the single player mode/story was way too short and not as intense fighting-wise as the last game. It was much easier, in fact.

Engrossing! I loved the gameplay improvements, storyline, and the replayability of it. I have always been a Rainbow Six fan. This game has all the heart pounding action and set in a realistic background. The storyline ended a little too movie like though. Myself I would like to keep the cliffhanger thing going so that I will stay hungry for the next installment. In a nut shell I had a great expierience playing this game. And that's what counts. If you want a game you can get lost in with real weapons, really smart bad guys, great location, huge sets, and the ability to kick some terorist butt? Then look to this game to give it you. This game should be ranked right along side of Call of Duty 4. Myself I love the online play better than the game, because of the people you meet and fight with are just like christmas (you never know what you going to get). As a recently retired service member this game has more realistic action than people who have never been in a fire fight would care to know. Buy this game!!!

What a disappointment. Aside from the fact that it's basically a rehash of the first episode, my copy of the game was/is plagued with all kinds of bugs /technical glitches...the most annoying being the fact that the game cuts out 3/4 of the way through playing the primary storyline. I get a 'Disc Unreadable' error and then it craps out. After several attempts to get ahold of ANYONE at Ubisoft, I've resigned to just selling it at Gamestop without even completing the game. Awful.

Not the Vegas we all know. But, a pretty good game nonetheless. I like the new terrorist hunt for quick killing. I do think the AI is a bit better and natural. I did find more bugs than R6V1. I would occationally, unexpectedly just die...no enemies in sight...just dead. I would also sometimes randomly drop into a part of the map I'd previously been. Near the end, as I was about to fastrope to the airport hanger with the white lear jet, I suddenly was transported back to the previous map, in an area I could not get out of....trapped. No biggie, but anoying. I don't regret this one. I just wish they would bring back an updated Ghost Recon or Island Thunder titel....now that was awsome controlling two teams and be able to switch to any of the characters. Loved that one and want another...

I was fairly excited to play Vegas 2 online. At first, the game was exciting, but after a while of play, the faults of the game were just too obvious. This is without a doubt one of the most frustrating games to play online. The blame lies in both the developers and the players. I'll explain the problems further below.
List of my likes and dislikes:
* Customization of your character is fun and exciting. No two players online will be the same. On top of that, you can make custom faces (i.e. your own face) to put in the game. I haven't tried this feature, but just the thought of being able to do so is thrilling. You can customize everything from clothing, armor, and camouflage. A big plus to the developers on this one.
* You unlock new weapons by going through the A.C.E.S. I forgot what it stands for, but I'll explain what it does. The ACES is divided into three categories: Marksman, Assault, and CQC. You add points to each categories based on how you score a kill. After so many points, you gain a level (up to 20 levels per category) within the category and you can either get a new weapon or more experiences toward your overall rank. I thought this was a pretty cool idea, but some of the weapons within each category make no sense. For example, in the Assault category, you mainly score points by using explosives, but yet the weapons within the category have nothing to do with explosives.
* Finding a match online is just flat out frustrating. The lag is nearly unbearable. It seems like the host needs a very good connection in order to host large amount of players. Indeed, the developers can't control this, but I'm guessing they could at least minimize the lag by sending smaller packets.
* You will get kicked and banned a lot in this game. I don't know why too. It just seems like every other game I go in results in me getting kicked or banned. I have a mic, and I usually don't talk.
* Small maps and same respawn points. I'm assuming the developers made the maps so that you play one round then load another map. The problem is most game hosts use unlimited respawns, which sometimes cause losing teams to be stuck at their own spawn point and unable to get out of it while the other team sits and wait for you to come out of your spawn point. You do get a 5 second shield, which makes you invincible for about 5 seconds when you first respawn. Problem is some people are clever enough to wait outside of the spawn point near a door such that your 5 second shield is gone. I would have loved the game if the developers made it smart enough to respawn at another location on the map once the other team overrun the current position.
* Some guns look unrealistic. For example the 92FS looks like it has a huge hole in the center. Other ones look funny enough to me. I thought I was using a supersoaker when I first saw the M468.
Overall, I liked the game. But the flaw of the respawn system and the constant kicking and banning and the unbearable lag makes the game not worthy enough for me to play online. Please don't purchase for the full price. Wait until it becomes 19.99 and get it then. The price and content just don't go together. You pay too much for something that seems broken.
