“An old but gold tactical shooter. Despite the absence of an option to hold down aim down sights and crouch, somewhat clunky and buggy 3rd cover system that makes my character float sometimes and the abhorrent bloom that…”
“Are you a fan of good old action games or just craving some nostalgia? Then go ahead and buy it and play. Play it on a realistic difficulty level, and you'll be more drawn in. Years later, there are certainly some…”

“Its old, has an audio issue that happens with radio chatter but seemed to run fine. Story is cheesy, but the setting makes up for it. I generally have preferred the first Rainbow Six Vegas over the 2nd one.”
“Still plays fine without mods, and while there are some harsh checkpoints and some real chokepoints, I enjoyed replaying it after 20 years.”

“This one's quite good. R6 Vegas nails the suffocating tension of close-quarters tactical combat. Sound design is top notch, and those moments of silence between firefights help to ramp up things and create some pretty…”

““Go, go, go.” Again, a generous score only because half the game is super fun running around casinos or Vegas streets fighting terrorists. Half baked plot though. And RIDICULOUSLY hard, my goodness. Still… would barely…”
