Summary: Just another shooter game with some strategy
Comment: First off, I will say that I am not a fan of games where you simply run around and shoot things. Granted, some days you just need to do that in a video game, but for long-term fun it just simply does not occur. I am more of a fan of strategic games and absolutely loved the "Rogue Spear" title way back in the day ("Rogue Spear" is a mix of first-person shooter and strategic planning for multiple teams). Knowing little about what the Rainbow 6 franchise moved to, I purchased this title thinking it would be more like "Rogue Spear". Unfortunately, it was not.
Now, that's not to say that I hated this game. The storyline was quite interesting overall and there is clearly an effort to tie it in with a general Rainbow Six master storyline. When playing, it does move towards being a "run around and shoot stuff" game, but it keeps some strategic elements to it that I hoped for. For example, you have two assisting Rainbow Six swat officers that you can command around, such as sending them to clear a room, throw grenades, or hold position while you survey the area. This is a "bottom-up" strategic approach, which is better than nothing in my mind, but I really hoped for a more "top-down" strategic approach. The AI seems a little dumb... you can shoot terrorists by firing off a gun repeatedly, yet their buddies a level up seem to only think that "something might be up." It's a step-up from older games where you could shoot one terrorist and his pal would continue smoking a cigarette over the dead body, but it's still a little peculiar.
Overall, if this had been only a game where you shot things, I would have given it 2 stars. I gave it one more star for a creative story and another star for the "bottom-up" strategic planning. It's certainly not the best game I've ever played, but it was not a total waste. At the very least, the multiplayer/terrorist hunt element can provide some entertainment.

Summary: like an expansion pack
Comment: It's like an expansion pack for rainbow six vegas, the only difference is new guns, a new customization feature, and new places. for anyone who is just starting the next gen experience, I recommend to bundle this with call of duty 4, just add in six bucks if you haven't got the first rainbow six game get this. awesome.

Summary: Rivals Call of Duty game, I like the better tactical part
Comment: This game is top notch, anyone that says otherwise DOES NOT like First person shooter games. Yes Call of Duty has the better graphics, but you idiots its not about better visual eye candy, if I wanted that I'd watch Planet Earth. This game uses tactical gaming to make your kills. Unlike COD which is an all out war with all out chaos. R62 uses guile and skill to make the kill. You can snipe, hide behind walls, look around corners, set up bombs, and use tactics to make your kills! NOW THATS FUN. Dont get me wrong I love Call of Duty, but this game strategy and tactics makes it my favorite game on Playstation 3.
I promise you will not be disappointed. This game you can play over and over and you wont get sick of it.

Summary: Rainbow so so
Comment: This game is just alright, after a few thrills and maybe chills, its a regular shooter. Nothing about it seems original or unique. However, the game is rather entertaining to play online if there is no lag. Bottom line, there are other games out there I'd rather play. But that's just me.

Summary: Great game for first shooter lovers
Comment: Raimbow Six Vegas 2 meet my expectations but it is not the best first shooter game available in the market. Once you complete the game in every mode, the multiplayer mode is not easy since it is very realistic. So you can not play like a wild soldier (i.e. Call of Duty 4). In summary, it is a great game, the history mode is new given that you play with a new character (not as Logan - Raimbow Six Vegas 1) and there are new abilities that will enjoy them. You can also customize your character every time you advance to a upper level.
