Rainbow Six Vegas I've never really liked tactical shooting games like SWAT 4 or the Rainbow Six series. We old-school gamers love to run into a battlefield straight on and obliterateas many people we can under the moon. Who wants to peep around corners, whisper silently to teammates and shuffle slowly to the next checkpoint? Give me Quake, Doom and Serious Sam anytime? But Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (available for PC and Xbox 360) will win over gamers from any camp. It mixes raw action, an endless hail of bullets and Sin City Las Vegas in all its neon-lit glory. All that, if you can get past the boring first chapter, which seems a rip-off from Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and its Mexican locale.
During your team's pursuit of a ruthless female Latino terrorist, your two buddies get kidnapped and you are forced to continue the hunt in Las Vegas where the "tangos" have taken gamblers hostage. R6V gets the basic right from the start. Firstly, the level design is simply top notch. The shining example is the intense firefight in a multi-storey shopping mall where escalators and corner pillars are your only protection. You'll scream to yourself "Think! Think of what to do next!" as your team lies bleeding on the marble floor while the intelligently programmed enemies close in from multiple directions. Jackpot machine rooms, grand staircases and huge carparks are cool places to fight terrorists too.
The sound engineering also adds a layer of excitement, be it the movie-style soundtrack, or the realistic and atmospheric sound effects. Often, you'll destroy tacky-looking Vegas hotel ornaments just to hear the glass shatter. The graphics are not fantastic (the characters look very blocky) but on the Xbox 360 version, everything shines with the familiar sleazy glow of Vegas. And what is a tactical shooter without cool infiltration moves? Use cool techniques like rappelling (yes, you can even invert-rappel upside down) and room breaching moves. With virtual teammates who look after themselves, you don't even have to save the world yourself.
