User Comments about the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas

Very annoying and not something I've seen in any other game I've ever palyed (SOCOM / KILLZONE / SYPHON FILTER).Best Buy has this game for $14.99. With this game when an enemy comes into view and you begin to exchange fire the game actually freezes up and three seconds later when it begins to move again you're like, "Oh I guess I killed the guy.". Graphics are OK and all PSP games are short so I'm not sure why so many here complain about that. This happens all the time. That's the only reason I was generous with 2 stars.



Sure, you can look around and shoot, but, will you hit enemies more often than not. Move forward, back, and strafe using the directional thumb pad and aim using the face buttons. On the PSP. You'll find all these guns in the game's console brethren so you should be pretty familiar with them.


I was happy to see that the FAMAS made it into the game as well as the L85A2. I'd say the saving grace of this game are the graphics and the guns. Sniping suffers the most from this. Oh, and the free aiming. For a handheld, the graphics of the game are pretty top notch. Although, moving from place to place is relatively solid, putting your character on a wall to look around the corner can be a bit tiresome.


Not so much.There's really no team work here. Wait.aim using the face buttons. Walk up to it, that's it. Sure, there's two man that you play as, as the game progesses from area to area. Who could forget Logan and his team on the console version game of the same name. But, you only play one at a time and neither are in the same room taking down the same baddies as the one that you're controlling. No, I highly doubt it. Solid controls, great graphics, and team work all lead you to victory of the so called terrorists.


Control. But, when you're running around trying to get somewhere, you'll sometimes stick to the wall on accident and it just becomes frustrating. You're pretty much a one man army against a legion of terrorists. I've had numerous problems sniping and getting head shots. Unfortunately, due to this being a PSP game, FPS's tend to suffer in terms of that. Not really there.


Give me a break, atleast the game give you the option to change the layout of the buttons and that, I very much welcomed. Don't get me started on that. It's easy. Waterfalls and even a mansion have nice detail.


And overall, I'd say the transformation was a success. The weapons, graphics, voice-over work, and A.I. Which brings me to what I feel is the games biggest weakness: The NAME: VEGAS. The success of the Rainbow Six Vegas series on the PS3, X-Box 360, and PC has inevitably been transfered to the hand-held PSP. And there are a variety of locals including an airport, penthouse, ranch, and the Hover Dam. If not for a few glimpses of a mock version of the Stratosphere Hotel, and a brief view of the Strip you'd never know that this game was taking place anywhere near Vegas. Consequently there are no missions in any casinos, on the Strip, behind any famous hotels, or even a gentleman's club.


are all up to snuff; though the A.I in some places can be downright laughable as guards ignore gunshots in their direction and partners that are killed right next to them. Playing as a two member team of the elite Rainbow Six Unit you are called to a stop a terrorist threat in the surrounding Vegas area. The game is also quite short, luckily there is some replay value with a Terro Hunt mode that allows you to hunt for baddies through already completed areas. For that you'll have to get one of the console versions.Still, Rainbow Six Vegas is a legitimate, fun, and enjoyable FPS for Sony's underrated PSP.


This game was fun to play with but the title of the game is midleading a bit and should be its own rainbow game considering none of it is in vegas. well it might be but there were no casino firefights or anything like that so you would never know this was a vegas game. Other then that and the serious issue of when you kill someone the game freezes for a second it was fan and the multiplayer is good for the psp.



The game is pretty cool considering it has to be played on a psp console. The graphix is nice, the storyline is good, and the overall playability is above average for me.
