"Paring it with the Cypher"

You strip it down, layer by layer?

It is the Ubi way.

See POPWW.

I think I'll give this one a miss. Sounds more like an expansion pack than anything really :-(

There was a 'counter sniper rifle' in the first game that could shoot through walls? Spent the latter half of the game shooting red outlines through walls :P

Played the demo the other night and found it perfectly....... playable. And very like last years game. But as it's been said already, some people just want more of the same........

I didn't think much to the demo, far too similar to the previous game which itself was a disappointment for me as a solo player (sorry but I was never interested in playing it online)... poor A.I., "wobbly" visuals and too many silly glitches and bugs just spoilt the game for me (like how come you and your teammates can walk *through* each other?) and I have to confess that I enjoyed Ghost Recon 2 far more on the Xbox!

I could never understand why the game won a BAFTA as it's only notable feature is its pretty high-definition graphics otherwise it was nothing special. There were far, far better games out last year on the Xbox 360 and other platforms. :?

Much to my shame, I have to admit that I actually did enjoy that demo very much, and I will probably not be able to resist pick this 'expansion pack'. I know I shouldn't encourage them with these yearly updates, but...
BTW, according to Penny Arcade, this one includes proper clan support.

Demo just feels clunky and slow and the targeting and red reticule highlight around enemies and percentage counting down when they are hit just make the combat feel uninvolving and dull. Just seems so sluggish compared to Rainbow, reminded me why i never bothered finishing the first one. One good thing i was going to pick this up but wont now.

As far as I'm concerned the most important question is - does it support freaky control styles? If it does then I'll buy it just so me and my housemate can play something other than Halo, damn him and his legacy control freakery.

Totally unrelated,but was I the last gamer in the world to know that Marcus Fenix's (Gears Of War) voice is performed by the same guy who does Bender's voice on Futurama.Just saw it on IMDB.
Bender + G.O.W's massive underlying homosexual vibe.It all makes sense in a non PC way.

/echoes sentiment about the counter-snipe rifle being in the first game

I wish smug gaming journos would stop going on about the counter-snipe rifle as if its a new thing just because ubi's press release told them it was.

I freely admit to liking the first one so I will probably end up getting this as well

but the biggest plus point for me was having a sub machine gun as a secondary weapon whilst having a sniper rifle as primary...no more being caught in close combat with just a pistol and a few rounds of ammo!

Multi-player options look like making everyone happy. loads of game modes, almost endless customising of game types, and even the ability to change lighting from day to night on the maps. Even without the single player, I'd get this for the online alone.

I'm not sure if the series will continue to improve. If we look at my highly subjective views on how ClancySoft titles progress:

1 Rainbow Six - fair
2 Rainbow Six Rogue Spear - good
3 Rainbow Six Raven Shield - excellent
4 Rainbow Six Lockdown - unmitigated rubbish
5 Rainbow Six Vegas - good

1 Splinter Cell - good
2 Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow - very good
3 Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - excellent
4 Splinter Cell Double Agent - good

1 Ghost Recon - good
2 Ghost Recon 2 - very good
3 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter - very good
4 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 - ???

Actually, there's no real pattern here at all, is there? Oh well, at least I got to point out how awful Rainbow Six Lockdown is. Gah!

@ Bitkari

Swap round Chaos Theory and Double Agent, then I agree. But how you've got it now is just wrong. :P

I really enjoyed GRAW when I first got it but since I went back to it I've just found it too damned irritating. You just have to be too slow and cautious for my tastes...

A lot of people like these games. Some of the people who like these games are surprisingly nice people.

^ Indeed. Isn't it a bit surprising?

Anyway the people I know (me included) got bored with the first GRAW pretty quickly. Tiresome samey environments and little variety. I'll pass this glossy tosh.
