Or, if you're under heavy fire, you can poke your rifle around the corner and fire blindly to keep the bad guys at bay. By moving up to those objects and holding down the right mouse button, you can "hug" the cover and then poke your body out from the sides or the top to shoot at the enemy before ducking down again. The controls translate fairly elegantly to the PC's mouse and keyboard. In Rainbow Six Vegas, slabs of concrete are your best friend, along with the edges of doorways, slot machines, the sides of SUVs, and pretty much anything else solid that you can put between yourself and the enemy. The story borrows a few too many plot twists seen in other Ubisoft games, namely the excellent Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, and the lack of a satisfying resolution also makes the plot feel like a paper-thin reason to battle an army of terrorists in Las Vegas, of all places but we're willing to overlook it, because the combat in Rainbow Six Vegas is simply excellent. Your job is to stop them and ascertain their intentions, which involves the standard McGuffin device that will kill millions and a secret military base hidden inside a massive hydroelectric dam. In the campaign, you play as Logan Keller, the leader of one of Rainbow's elite three-man counterterrorist assault teams who is called into action after an operation in Mexico goes bad and, for some reason, the terrorists strike the casinos and high-rise hotels of Las Vegas. Thus, the single-player campaign is exactly the same, and the multiplayer features almost all the functionality of the Xbox 360 version. Instead of taking the path that it used for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, where the PC and Xbox 360 versions featured completely different games, Ubisoft must have figured that it had something special with the Xbox 360 version and wisely decided to deliver that same experience to the PC. You'll go from the slums of Mexico to the glittering casinos of Las Vegas in this intense tactical shooter.įirst, the PC version is almost exactly the same as the Xbox 360 version. The gameplay has been refreshed and reinvented, and Rainbow Six Vegas offers up some of the best tactical shooting action on the PC.
Yes, Rainbow Six Vegas is essentially a direct port of an Xbox 360 game, but Ubisoft has done an incredible job of reinvigorating Rainbow Six. So there will be a tendency by PC fans to want to ignore Rainbow Six Vegas, which would be a mistake.
However, over the past few years Rainbow Six fully migrated to the various consoles, and the hardcore, realistic action was watered down quite a bit. The popular tactical shooter franchise originally began on the PC and offered up the first realistic tactical shooting action around. Fans of the Rainbow Six games for the PC have had every reason of late to be bitter.
