Video Game Reviews of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Customer Review: Unplayable - Unless You Like Headaches
Summary: 1 Stars
There is no need for a long review of this game...It is simply UNPLAYABLE. The graphics are so unbelievably BAD that it gave me headaches every time I tried to play it. Looking down a street you can't even tell a bad guy from a trash can and it's not because they are using the trash can for cover! It's because of inexcusably HORRIBLE GRAPHICS for a PS3 game.
I've read where you have to go into the PS3 menu and modify video output settings to clean up the screen...But why bother? This is a PS THREE system, not a circa 90s PS ONE, so I don't expect to deal with "PC Load Letter" type problems when I install a game. I also didn't invest in a 1080 flat screen so I can manually dumb down the video output on the PS3 to 720...HOWEVER, I went the extra mile and DID change the output to 720 expecting the screen to "clear up"...Mine DIDN'T. This game was a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY and for that reason I can not give it anything more than 1 star (since Amazon doesn't allow ZERO star reviews).
The only reason I can think of to play this game is if you've already played EVERY OTHER shooter on the PS3...Then you'd better have a bottle of Tylenol next to you.
Customer Review: Excellent gameplay and sound, but lackluster graphics.
Summary: 4 Stars
THE GOOD:
- Gameplay is amazing. From shooting around a wall, crouching behind a barrel, etc. all gameplay is very realistic. This gets you into the game quickly.
- Weapons selection is excellent. Pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, sub machine guns, this game has a great selection. And they are all available from the get go in the single player mode. There is also a great selection of grenades, smoke bombs, etc.
- Sound: in Dolby Digital, the sound is great. Bullets wiz by your head, and you can pinpoint terrorist locations based on voices or gunfire.
- Computer AI is good. When you send your team to clear a room, more times than not they do a great job of it. The terrorist AI is also very good. They spot your movement easily and adapt to many different scenarios.
- The default difficulty level is perfect. Not too hard, but not too easy. Realistic mode is difficult, as it should be.
THE BAD:
- Graphics are marginal at best. I was pumped for great graphics during the start up screens, then it gets to the main menu and the graphics go down the drain. Menus, character editing, the entire game suffers from mediocre graphics. There are some nice lighting effects, but otherwise I was very dissapointed. However, the gameplay makes you quickly ignore the poor graphics. (I use a 1080P Sony SXRD TV with HDMI connection).
- Online gameplay has some issues. Overall online gameplay is decent, but there are some lag issues, and I found it overall too difficult (however, this is dependent on the difficulty level set by the moderator).
- Some levels are too dark and it's difficult to see
- Sometimes your computer teammates get in the way (AI glitch perhaps...)
Customer Review: Made for Profit
Summary: 2 Stars
The gameplay gets somewhat old after a couple of hours. There isn't really a chance to get new weapons. The AI swear tons and aren't very smart. The graphics look ps2 at best.Customer Review: Great intense game.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the sequel to this game first and started playing it. After only a level or two I realized I wanted the first one in the series, and decided to stop "2" in order to play this one first.
It's very intense. I die a lot. But it's very realistic and after a while you are totally immersed in its kill-the-terrorists world. I especially find the arsenal of weapons to be incredibly detailed and authentic. Guns load and fire like the real thing. They kick. They spew cartridges and make a lot of noise. You can customize them, but you really need to think about what you're doing. Which sight is going to be the best for the situation you're about to enter? What kind of grenade should you carry? Of course in my case I usually have to die a few times before I realize what my choice should have been. I'm not that good, but I'm having fun.
One great aspect of this game is the teamwork element - even if you are playing a single-player game. You have two other people on your combat team and you really need to pay attention to the instructions your give them. They can save your butt literally if you work with them correctly. But they can get hurt and you have to be ready to save them. I just wish they could do the same for me when I take some terrorist's shotgun blast to the face!
I'm on the last level now and doing my best to get through it. There are bad guys everywhere and if I pop up to try and shoot one, several of his buddies always take me down. But I'll keep at it. Looking forward to moving on to "2" again, and continuing this incredible adventure.
Customer Review: Great game
Summary: 5 Stars
Next to Call of Duty 4, this is my favorite PS3 shooter. Single player campaign is great and Terrorist Mode rocks too. And no bugs either! Haven't tried multiplayer so can't comment on that. Only thing that bugged me was the Southern drawl of the main character...mildy annoying.
