Sporting slightly more impressive graphics than either the 360 or PS3 versions (mostly due to the superior definition of higher-end LCD displays combined with flashy video cards), the PC version of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 could be the best version of the game.

While Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 has departed from its hardcore roots and offers little beyond a second helping of the previous title, it is nevertheless a worthwhile, entertaining venture with just enough squad-based tactics to keep things interesting.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 isn't terribly exciting when played alone, but it is solid when you go online. Teamwork is rewarded much more than in many games, and while this game won't ever match the popularity of some of the best online PC shooters in history, it will carve its own niche pretty well: it's for people who think Call of Duty is too twitchy and unrealistic but also dislike Armed Assault for its staunch, soul-crushing realism.
