Summary
Rainbow Six Vegas
In Rainbow Six Vegas The fate of the free world once more teeters on the brink, and it's up to you and your team to make your way through neon decadence and tipsy tourists to make things safe for freedom, democracy and Mom's good ol' apple pie. You'll need to defend well-known locations such as Fremont Street and the Strip against a new level of terrorism as Vegas lies under siege.
Tactics are going to play a major part in your success as you manoeuvre a new team through a multiple path environment, with each team member having their own specialities and skills. Plenty of high-tech goodies (such as snake cams to 'tag' your enemies for your team-mates) are on offer to aid you in your planning and execution, whilst your team-mates utilise their expertise to make tactical suggestions such as hacking computers and smashing through walls.
Anyway...for a series not renowned for its graphics, Vegas looks really good. The city-scapes are nothing short of stunning, with the developer really going to town using the next-generation specs for realistic backdrops and gorgeous lighting. Similarly, the level design on offer is superb, with nice little details like slot machines raining out quarters and blood effects, well, to die for.
Ubisoft is really injecting some life back into this franchise and we're glad to see it. Vegas, Baby!!!
GRAW 2
Following the failure of the coup d'état in Mexico City, Mexican rebels have gathered their remaining forces along the US border, and the whole of Mexico is undergoing a full-scale civil war. The Ghosts have fewer than 72 hours to stop a nuclear attack. It's the first time on US soil that you get the chance to lead your team of elite Special Forces - straddling the border between Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas. The Ghosts are the last line of defence and must do what it takes to protect the country. You'll battle enemies in mountain terrains, barren deserts and on your home turf in El Paso. Each environment comes with its own benefits and challenges and thus require new tactical approaches.
The Cross-Com 2.0 system gives you more information than ever. You can see what your friendly forces see in the top left display and the click of a button expands that to a full-screen view for a more precise picture. This will give you a more comprehensive view of the entire battlefield. The new Full Command View allows unprecedented precision in developing and issuing tactical plans on the battlefield. While on the battlefield, you can command air strikes with jet fighters, get mobile cover for difficult situations, and replenish armaments on the battlefield using an unmanned artillery MULE. Wannabe soldiers can now heal their team on the battlefield too, including squad leader Scott Mitchell, with an all-new Medic class of soldier.
