Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
Considered by many to be one of the best tactical shooters ever produced, Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was a fantastic title that offered both an engaging single and multiplayer scene. While the story was fairly straightforward, the strategic, squad-based gameplay made every encounter feel like an elaborate puzzle to solve. Complementing this were incredibly tight and polished controls that felt as if Ubisoft went over every section with a fine-toothed comb. Guns were fun to use and the game had a great sense of challenge that organically grew with each mission.
Yet, once players took their experience online, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 moved from good to great. Maps were well designed and many of the weapons were quite balanced, which helped cater to a variety of playstyles. For those looking to play nice, this title offered some truly fantastic co-op modes that had a sliding scale of difficulty, allowing players to tailor each experience to their skill level. While there have been other Rainbow Six games, none have truly delivered a complete package like Vegas 2.
