Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas

Recommended. A foundational squad-based tactical shooter running from border towns through casinos to a dam finale, whose multi-angle room clearing defines console cover shooting and holds up completely. Snake-cam recon, breach/flash/frag entries and sending the team through one door while taking another make every room a choreographed assault, regenerating health lets imperfect play survive, checkpoints are plentiful, and the Dante Casino courtyard remains the difficulty's sharpest test. All weapons unlock from the start. The AI flanks hard, which builds tension but also produces ambush deaths from unseen positions, close quarters ends encounters instantly, loadouts do not persist between checkpoints, and the dark alleys punish brightness settings. The rougher, harder older sibling of its sequel, and fully worth finishing on its own demanding terms.

I am yet personally to play the campaign singleplayer, however, I am playing LAN multiplayer with a friend on the hardest settings through the campaign right now and milking a ton of fun out of it. This game is honestly very conceptually interesting especially for it's age, the performance and set up was great I had no issues at all. If you're into older games, like tactical style of games, I think you'll quite enjoy this. Especially on the realistic setting, this game uses a lot of mechanics that you can see in modern titles whether it be modern installations of the Siege franchise or even the Ghost Recon series. Overall I'd give this game a 10/10, only thing to ever annoy me is when I was behind cover and shooting sometimes my gun would chainfire like 15 rounds at once but it almost always kills them anyway. Only sucks due to limited ammo but being able to pick up guns solves that, haven't encountered any bugs other than that personally.

Excellent, tense (on hard difficulty), and super fun.

The story is very bad. no pin locations. weird control settings and no iptimisaton. literally a waste of money.

Still holds up! Absolutely worth revisiting or experiencing for the first time.

Amazing that such an old game can still play coop T-hunt and story through Radmin. Thoroughly enjoy this, R6V2 is better though!
