I've been a fan of the Rainbow Six series since the beginning but after Raven Shield the series headed in a console centric direction. While Vegas has the console feel but still it a great game on the PC.
The play commands Logan Keller the new team leader of Rainbow, a international anti-terrorist organization, sent to a Mexican border town to capture Irena Morales who is a terrorist ringleader. Failing to capture Irena, Keller is ordered to head to Las Vegas to handle a new crisis there. The story is on par with any Tom Clancy book or game so it filled with action and a couple plot twists but overall its not memorable.
Gameplay takes on new features from previous installments. One is the cover system much like Kill.switch and Gears Of War players can take cover against almost anything and either blind fire to give covering fire or pop up and shoot. Another add in is a regenerative health system that is much like any other game that has one. In previous Rainbow Six games before each mission but with the going more console centric that went away and was replaced a simple order giving control scheme which in Vegas was refined and is pretty simple to give your team members orders to breach, grenade, flash, clear, etc.
Sound FX do sound great in the case of the weapon fire and other general FX's and the voice work is good and fit the game well and while the soundtrack is good and fits the game its just the same orchestral work like most games.
Overall the game is a great game to experience for fans of the Rainbow Six series.
7/10
