Video Game Reviews of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Customer Review: The Anti Call of Duty
Summary: 4 Stars
Now let me clarify, I don't think there is anything wrong with GOW or COD games, but I just prefer to get more control over what I can do to achieve my mission objective. I like to command my squad mates. I like knowing I don't have to fire a single shot if I don't want to. But if I feel itchy, I like being able to go "weapons free" and fire at anything I want too. So there, that's my take on combat games.
Playing Rainbow Six Vegas is pretty much the Anti Call of Duty and Anti Gears of War. You don't have endless streams of bullets flying from massive throngs of bad guys and you don't have chainsaws. Instead, like every other RS game before it, you have to think carefully not only what weapons you use, but how you use them and more importantly, how your squad uses them. I particularly like this style of play.
On the game itself the main advance from previous RS installments has been the addition of the excellent cover system. Sure the reviewers make it seem like Gears of War has invented this idea, but we've seen it many times. Here in Rainbow Six, the cover tactic works more naturally than in Gears, simply because the game itself is built around tactics. Who really cares where it came from?
The connections to its cousin Ghost Recon Adavanced Warfighter 2 are obvious at first, but then the gameplay differences reveal themselves quickly. RSV is probably more true to the tactical nature of the first Tom Clancy RS game. The graphics are very good. The character models are particularly well done, and so are the lighting effects. I have seen my share of weird graphics glitches, with some enemies stick in walls and things, but I have seen the same thing in COD 4, so polish is hard to come by these days I guess.
While this point is debateable, I think the environment textures are a little bland, especially when compared to more recent games. And despite what some other people have said, I think GRAW 2 is a bit up on the graphics side that this one, but RSV is still a good looking game.
There is a healthy challenge, with lethal enemies and sometimes sparse checkpoint saves. The multiplayer has tons of variables and intense gameplay - especially sans the cover system.
So sure, I've put in my COD4 time on my Prestiges, I don't mind some Gears now and then, but overall I think Rainbow Six Vegas has its own great breed of thinking gameplay, relative to the competition anyway. The team controls, weapons selections, excellent cover system and challenging mission layouts offer something a lot more than Call of Duty's quick draw contests or GOW's chainsaw and shotgun fest. Its not for everybody and not perfect either, but Rainbow Six Vegas does offer an intensity all its own.
