Couldn't be bothered one jot by this obvious rehash of the first. Christ, it doesn't even have any spaceships or anything!! |

Yet another great review from EG in its thoroughness and it tells me everything I needed to know to *not* buy the game. Don't get me wrong, I thought the first Vegas was very good (offline, never played it online), especially the excellent cover system, but I got bored of playing long before the end so there's nothing in this "sequel" that makes me want to play it all again. As with many FPSs, it seems focused on the online multiplayer rather than the single player so it definitely isn't for me anyway.

Loved the first one and the multiplayer was superb (Darren, you did yourself a disservice not trying it out!), so this should satisfy I think. I will pick this up at some point, but it would have been nice if it could have been a bit cheaper than normal!

I'll wait until this is cheap rather than paying full wack for it. I'll just play through the original and the derth of other games I have to keep me occupied until then.

18-Mar-08 15:58:21 Has COD4 raised the bar for online shooters? oh yes. Vegas 1 is better than COD4 online, as much adversarial, 4 player co op, 4 player terrorist hunts...and COD had a 4 hour campaign, people need to stop wetting their knickers over it already as Orange box is a better bunch of games anyway.... this however just sounds like Vegas1 all over again, it just looks exactly the same, they've just churned it out.. |

@asphaltcowboy - Sorry I don't like tactical online shooters, I find they get incredibly dull very quickly outside of a plot. I have tried R6V online but I didn't enjoy it I'm afraid. Not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just I'm not really a fan of online gaming, full-stop. I much prefer story-driven stuff with a beginning, a middle and an end.

Dissapointing, as expected.
Multiplayer will probably work like a dog to, seeing as this is a Ubisoft game. Let me guess, no decent ranked matchmaking system (Halo3, CoD) but a 'pick your lobby' one that we all moved away from about 5 years ago? |

Still not sure about this. I'm more in it for the multi-player. Had the first one and loved it. Got COD 4 but would like something else to have a go at online on the 360. Have Halo 3 but don't really play it that much. Is Ghost Recon 2 worth getting for the on-line?

This will be worth buying just for terrorist hunt. I had the original and never once thought about getting rid until 360 died. If I still had the 360 I would still be playing R6V. I thought it was better than Gears, I will be picking up a copy of this, more of the same is fine.

Call of duty 4 raised the bar in terms of presentation and playability for multiplayer. I'd totally agree with you about it being nothing amazing or really special in the single player arena. I think Vegas 1 is still the most playable single player campaign for this type of game, even though technically it's third and not first person. Having a game where a head shot on an enemy actually kills them as opposed to 20 head shots (gears stop hiding you know I'm talking about you!) was so refreshing and added immensely to the immersion factor. Especially as a head shot from an enemy was just as fatal. |

A buy for me.
I really enjoyed the first installment, and thought the online component was great. Much as I love COD4, once you've played a game with a really strong fire-from-cover mechanic it feels odd to play a "realistic" shooter that doesn't have it. Oh and Baronen, maybe if you ask your mum & dad nicely if you can do some chores round the house they might give you a bit more pocket money. Bless. |

Well I did like the first one, but it does seem as though £10 off the RRP would've been a wise nod to the fans/consumer on the part of Ubi. I used to have a great deal of respect for them but that's changed over recent years.

"Having a game where a head shot on an enemy actually kills them..." I guess you never played GRAW then? A headshot from ANY weapon (even a silenced pistol) will kill in GRAW. "though technically it's third and not first person" Not really, if you just let go of the controls it goes into 1st person mode, you actually have to interact and pull the trigger to make it go 3rd person. So really it is 1st person. And I don't quite get what the reviewer is talking about with this new XP and character customisation system, it had all that in the first one anyway.

Good old Eurogamer... reviewing games with price and previous installments in mind. Sorry but regardless of the price this game is great fun (playing it right now) even if it has mostly the same kind of gameplay as the first Vegas. Price shouldn't be taken into account at all when it comes to judging the quality of the game. If it was £20 the game isn't BETTER for it... just awesome value for money.
I'm especially enjoying the fact I can now gain EXP by playing the campaign mode.

Wow, this website is confusing.
You read a review for WoW with the score being 10... which automatically makes this website loose respect, and yet here's a review for a highly anticipated game getting a 7/10 (which seems accurate). I dunno. All I can say is that I wish this website was more consistent with reviews. |

Meh. Couldn't even be bothered to try this at Play.com Live because it looked uninspired and shovelled.
It would be nice if EG could review the PC version of games like this though, when they talk about 'intuitive use of the d-pad' it worries me that the control system and responsivness might be consolenerfed. |

Well i'm getting it for £6 so not too bothered about the score. I really enjoyed the single player campaign in the last one and the online team terrorist hunt was awesome. So more of the same will be welcome

Loved the first one so I'm getting this (£35 from Amazon), so what if it's more of the same, it just means more of the same great gameplay as before. These forums make me laugh, loads of comments from supposed gamers always looking for reasons NOT to buy a game / console.
In the last few months I've played and enjoyed Bioshock, Orange Box, COD4, Halo 3, Metroid Prime 3, Unchartered, Stranglehold, Timeshift, Fear Files, Army of Two, The Club and Medal of Honor Airborne but I'll still find room for this before GTA4, MGS4 and Haze. |
