 Tom Clancy disappoints. August 4, 2007

You know what fires me up?? I mean, really really gets my blood boiling? When you have a franchise that has such an outstanding reputation like Tom Clancy, and you have a console that has unprecidented capability - and the mix is like oil and water.
The low down -
Graphics - 4 out of 10. I play on a 50'' HDMI plasma. So I tend to get disappointed when I buy a game that isn't HD compatible. This game fits RIGHT in with some of the mediocre PS2 graphics.
Gameplay - 3 out of 10. If I enjoyed the feeling of walking through mud, and turning at a glacial speed, then I would have given this game a much better rating. Even by turning the X and Y turning values higher, this game is all over the place. Headshots don't register, there is no "breathe-bob". So, basically if you have your crosshairs squared up with someones masked pretty little mug, you're most likely going to shoot up and to the right, down and to the left... pretty much anywhere but where you aim.
Multiplayer - 7 out of 10. The only aspect of the game that I mildly enjoy. The many different games will you keep you entertained for hours, as well as the three different co-op modes.
The bottom line is that I enjoy games like BF2, or 2142. If you die for instance, there is that faint glimmer of hope that a medic might come up and save you fom waiting anothe 10 seconds.
The graphics are far below standard for such a wonderful system, the story is worthless (unless you don't have a high speed internet connection), and walking around the maze type levels is as monotonous as watching Carrot Top do another stand up routine.
To be honest, the only people I have heard that are impressed with this game are the British. And you wonder why they're so satisfied with bland food.
Absolutely terrible translation to the PS3.... Sorry I bought it! Stick with the 360 version. August 12, 2007

I have both the 360 and PS3 and am very sorry I bought this game on the PS3 instead of the 360 - I was thinking that the PS3 version would be better refined and higher resoltion graphically but I was WRONG.
It doesn't hold a candle to the 360 version graphically or ease of play wise (if any part of this game can be called easy!) - the 360 version is much more responsive and graphics make a HUGE difference when you're trying to get the bead on a naughty terrorist...
Avoid this game on the PS3, buy it on the 360.
Sorry to all the PS3 pundits out there, but this is not the best work.
 ok - but only allowed to have 1 saved game - thus 2 stars! August 13, 2007

Very bad if you mess up, there is only one save point. At the last level it appears there is a glitch where many game users are having a problem with reloading the level (Nevada Dam - Warehouse)where you see Irena thru window - then game crashes destroying the one and only save point. This has happened to several users. According to UBI support you must delete the one and only allowed saved game and reload/restart the game from the beginning again. I tried this twice, and it crashed twice! So I gave up! UBI programers need to learn how to allow multiple save points.
Overall the game has good picture quality. Content ok. But for PS3 there are no updates. So I advise buying it used and trying it.
 Great game, but difficult August 8, 2007

I'm not a big FPS fan, so I'm not the greatest fragger in the world. RB6: Vegas is a lot of fun though. There are a few shortcomings, but they don't detract from the game's overall value.
As mentioned by at least one other reviewer, the save points in the Single player mode a bit too far apart. I've had the game for a week and I'm stuck on a particular level. I get oh so close to the end, only to be killed. Another minor gripe is the fact that there are only 2 difficulty settings, and the easiest is not easy by any means. I've seen no way to repair your health mid-level (no med packs, nothing), and it doesn't take many hits for you to die. Combine that with the infrequent checkpoints and you will run into some frustrating moments. An omission that I found to be glaring is that the M4 assault rifle, probably the most used by special forces teams next to the MP5, is not to be found.
The enemy and your team AI are both superb. Enemies will take cover, flank you, snipe you, etc. They communicate with each other when one of them spots you as well. Your teammates are also fantastic. Controlling their actions is very easy. I've yet to run into a situation where one of them gets stuck on something (like a trying to walk through a wall or something stupid like that). They're also good to use to do a lot of the dirty work, and man do they work effeciently!
 Worse than the Xbox 360 June 26, 2007
Hmm I cant think of one

This games gameplay is OK. The reason it got a 3 star rating is because the graphics on it suck compared to the Xbox 360 version. Also this game no long is tactical like the old Rainbows. It's more like run and gun now.
