I am a big fan of FPS and this series in particular. I wasn't going to buy this one, but when Amazon marked the Limited Edition down to $29 and I had a $25 coupon credit (with 2 day free ship) I couldn't pass it up. The series is tight, and a top 5 FPS on any system. If you can't get a deal, I would wait as it is not much of an upgrade.

I've played quite a few FPS's in my day, and this one sure is a lot of fun to play. In addition to the expansive single player story, the Terrorist hunt missions are a lot of fun too. I have a blast playing online with my buddy who just moved to another country. I highly recommend this game.

I played through the first game and had a fun time with it, and I bought the second because of the lame ending of the first. If you liked the first game, you'll like the second. I cannot really tell a difference. Move checkpoint to checkpoint and kill the terrorists in between. That's basically the game.

got into this and beet it in like 8 hours mabey less, the onloine fun is there, but no improvments, still have your buggs they never fix

The game play is just like the last game with a few minor exception(running and tagging hostiles) that just improved game play.

An excellent game and is very fun to play. It is quite difficult, but with time, you will get the hand of it.

I may be a bit biased writing this review, since my love for the Tom Clancy series of games is widely known. I will try to do this as objectivly and non-fanboyish as I can:

Pros:
This game has been very well designed from the start and improving on the first game, I thought, would be quite difficult. However, the graphics are sharper, the weaponry is more real-world (i.e. the guns in silenced are less accurate and have less punch) and they added an XP points and achievements system to the co-op and story mode portion of the game, instead of just in multiplayer. The addition of the last thing and the co-op story mode made this game 1000X better than CoD4 or any previous Rainbow 6 title.

Cons:
While there aren't many, I'd say that most of the maps are either too small or too big and I'd like to see some more variety in the Terrorist Hunt missions. I think the controls can still be a bit clunky at times, although fine motor skills are way better in this game than the first Vegas title. The one other thing I'd like to see is better/smoother online experiences. The servers are too slow and they still have a "host advantage" at times. Nothing is perfect and it depends on connection, but hopefully they can iron this out soon.

Overall:
9 out of a possible 10. A good buy if you love FPSs!

This is a great game. Best cover system around. The main gripe by most people was that it was not that different from the first RB6V. So if you haven't played the first one, pick this one up for sure. If you liked the first one, expect more of the same.

Also, they have released an update(patch via Xbox Live) that fixed most of the technical issues at launch.

This game is very much like the first but has sprint, new guns, and new maps. The maps I think are a little worse then the orginal but the guns I think are suprior to it. The sprint is definetly a huge benefit.

I really enjoy the game play. If you're in to first person shooter type games then I highly recommend this.........especially for online play.
