R6 Vegas main features are:
* New Leader, New Team – Team Rainbow ushers in a new breed of heroes. With a new team, comes added responsibility. Tactics play a MAJOR role in your team’s success, as each member comes equipped with his own skill set.
* Special Order Location – Experience a new level of squad-based realism as your teammates, Michael and Jung, offer you real-time tactical suggestions like busting through walls or hacking computers, all in a race against time to locate the heart of the terrorist cell.
* Observe – Plan – Assault – Use tactical planning to maneuver through multiple-path Vegas environments while utilizing high-tech equipment such as snake cams to strategically “tag” terrorist targets to your teammates, prior to entering a room.
* Real-Time Immersion – Prepare yourself for a new level of in-game immersion with real-time mission briefings, all in the midst of the most intense combat ever played.
* Advanced Gameplay Animations – Motion-captured assault and recon techniques such as fast roping, rappelling, window entry, blind-cover fire and more. All captured by an experienced Hollywood animation expert.
* Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence – Next-generation technology brings a higher level of artificial intelligence to Rainbow Six. As you get past the grunts and advance closer to the center of the terrorist cell, encounter deadlier, more skilled enemies who work together as a group to counter every move you make.
* Customizable Multiplayer Experience – Create your own multiplayer character that evolves as you play online, while unlocking new equipment and achievements as you go.
To quote the video review: “It wouldn’t be a Rainbow Six game without an incredible, close-quarters multiplayer element, and the fans have not been forgotten here. In addition to the online coop, there are six different adversarial modes across 10 different maps. You’ll get the typical survival and team survival options for up to 16 players, but there are two new games as well. Attack and defend has one team locating hostages, bombs, and intel, and then getting to an extraction point. Of course, the other team is trying to stop you. The other new mode is retrieval, where you have to locate biohazardous material and return it to your base. In addition to mapping your face to your character, you can also customize his gear to create the exact type of terrorist-stomper you want.
Rainbow Six: Vegas is a bit of a rebirth for the franchise. With its increased emphasis on the single-player campaign, and a phenomenal multiplayer pedigree, this is one of those games that has the potential to give you your money’s worth and then some. We’ll see if it takes Vegas for all it’s worth or comes home with empty pockets in our review next week.”
