Be warned, gamers who get easily frustrated: this game is not for you. This is for the hard-as-nails Xbox gamers who want a challenge. Welcome to Rainbow Six: Vegas. Here's my review. R6V is an amazing title from Ubisoft, with some of the best Xbox 360 graphics I've ever seen. Explosions almost blind you in the ensuing flames, bullets cascade around the battlefield, and knives plunge into the necks of enemies at gory speed. The game is for the tactical: you must think before shooting, and know when to hide under cover and not charge in guns blazing. If you are expecting a fast-paced shooter ala Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears, this game is not it. However, if you don't mind the insane difficulty, I cannot reccommend this game more. Every gun you get can be customized, with everything from laser scopes to bigger magazines. Another great feature is that you don't have to worry about micromanaging your squad every 2 minutes, either. All you have to do is press A to send them to a location, Down on the D-pad to have them hold or regroup, and Up on the D-pad to have them heal a fallen squadmate. The scenery is amazing, from Mexican villages to flasy casinos. Terrorist Hunt, the games secondary mode, has you hunting down every terrorist on the map and going for a faster time. With a long Story mode and T-Hunt, this is a very good deal to purchase, especially considering you can get this for under $10 now. If it wasn't for its difficulty and some control issues, this game would be a 10. But, I'm going to give it a 9. I would wholeheartedly reccommend this.
