Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is like Call of Duty 4 (outstanding game, by the way) except with a team concept in which you can command your team of 2 to help you out and perform various tasks.
There is a lot more strategy in this game, though. You have to decide how to enter and engage in enemies. There are often many doors leading to a hostage room and maybe even 2 different floors overlooking the hostage situation. You have to decide how to split up your team, how to enter (breach, frag, flash, etc.)
It is really a great system that is refreshing IF you haven't played Rainbow Six Vegas 1, because the gameplay is really quite the same as RSV1.
The XP system provides lots of encouragement to play beyond the campaign. Also it encourages online play. I've had good experiences with the online system.
The Co-op is well-implemented, although the campaign is relatively short.
I've played and beaten a couple dozen of big-name PS3 games, and this one ranks near the top because it is FUN and keeps me coming back-- when I usually sell the game and move on.
Pick it up!
one of the best games for ps3 May 30, 2009

yet again rainbow six takes the cake for best game ever! i loved this game, the best part was the split screen co-op, hard to find good ps3 co-op games.
 With improved graphics, more online modes and superior character customization, Vegas 2 is one of the best sequels ever. May 13, 2009

The Good:
- Graphics were my biggest complaint with the original Rainbow 6 Vegas. It looked like a PS2.5 game. Well, rest assured Vegas 2 corrects this glaring problem with significantly better graphics. From textures to lighting, scenery to players, graphics have been improved across the board. It's still not up to COD4 standards, but pretty damn close.
- Gameplay is top notch, as expected from the original. Cover is easy to use and a key aspect of this game. Unlike COD4, Rainbow forces the player to use strategy to succeed.
- Character customization is excellent. You can select every detail - clothes, armor, guns, even camo patterns. As you progress through the game, and move up in rank, more items are unlocked. What's nice is you earn XP regardless of what game mode you play - single player, online or split screen. That's a nice touch.
- Location design is fresh, highlighting the darker side of Vegas this time around. You'll still get to tear up some casinos, but you'll also play in junk yards, train stations and refineries. Online mode level design is also well done, covering a wide range of locations.
- Speaking of online mode, this aspect of the game has been enhanced. There are more modes to choose from, a more robust XP/rank system. I also found it easy to join games, better than COD4. My favorite mode is terrorist hunt.
- Sound - good use of surround with excellent explosion and gun fire sounds.
The Bad:
- Sound glitches - I found a few instances were the rear surround speakers crackle or pop. Also, sometimes after killing an enemy their gun fire continues to sound off. I'm surprised these obvious bugs were overlooked.
- Story modes lacks a good story... but it's not a big deal.
- As mentioned above graphics could still use some improvement.
The Verdict:
Overall, this is an excellent sequel. It fixes the problems of the original and builds on all the things that were great. If you enjoyed the original Vegas, or just like 1st person shooters, this game is a must have.
