The first batch of Rainbow Six Vegas: 2 reviews have made their way in. Fans of the series will be pleased to know it’s not looking bad at all with scores currently ranging from 70% to 93%. The good points seem to be centred on the smooth and wide variety of gameplay available across the game, but reviewers criticise the storyline and similarity to the first instalment.
Game Informer: 93%
Games Master UK: 84%
PlayStation Official Magazine UK: 80%
PSM3 Magazine UK: 78%
Edge Magazine: 70%
Keep checking the Metacritic page here for more review scores as they come in…
The first game was good but really shone in 2-player split screen on terrorist hunt. A true test to see if your mate will take a bulit for yas. Hope it survived the transistion to vegas 2

Awesome update for Singstar, some great songs in that lot. Shame I can’t sing and would thus never buy it. R6V2 looks just too much of the same for my taste.

4 player co-op would have got me buying this but it’s been cut.
will maybe pick it up when ultra cheap in 6 months or summat.

@ Paul - agree about R6V2
TBH, a reload button is about the limit of my interest in tactics.

i can’t say i’ll be rushing out to buy another ubisoft created game after enduring the Assassins Creed disaster (and i don’t mean the pathetic game play).
I enjoyed the first vegas but i think i’ll sit tight this time and wait for all the clitch and crashing console reports to come in.

First day I could play online with my buddies tryed last not and could not connect to one game after an hour of trying. This is such a shame as the less I play on it now the less I will in the future after it gets a patch
