| | Entertainment Reviews |  | Xbox 360 Review: Rainbow Six Vegas By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/21/2006 4:52 PM | | Vegas starts off slowly, and completely out of the environment you'll be led to. Once inside United States territory, you can immediately tell where you are. This is a stunningly beautiful game, complete with moments that lead to sheer awe or emotion. The story ends up leading to a dead end that will feel familiar to first-person shooter fans, but the events leading up to it are unforgettable.

The mix of epic sets, over-the-top action and great looks of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas make Sin City the perfect place for the triumphant return of the Rainbows. Pretend that Black Arrow and Lockdown never happened and you can be a Rainbow Six fan with pride once more. The multiplayer and single-player games both shine for numerous reasons, but the short form is this: Be ready to put down Gears of War for something a bit more... mature...The cover mechanics, the lethal firearms, the satisfaction of working with a smart team, plus maps that couldn't get done in time for the single-player game and some returning classics make multiplayer golden. Grappling down a wall to burst in a window is less likely to let you surprise another player than an enemy, but it's even more rewarding when it works. I can't overstate how good the multiplayer is here, so just put down your chainsaw bayonet and trust me. - Patrick Joynt
