    I rented it out last wednesday and I have to say I did get quite hooked on the single player!

    I love how you can actually rely on your teammates to do some of the work without worrying about getting them killed as they can fend for themeselves! Which is a rarity in games.

    Also its gorrrrrrrrrgeous!

    Didn't try it online as my tinterweb connections has been acting up for the past month (apologies to my hexus gaming buddies)

    Exactly, I've been sending them in to test out an area and it allows you to go around the side or hang back and pick them off...superb!

    Ye it's awesome and almost a total contrast to gears where you have to do all the work. Loving the room entering options too, makes the game amazing

    Have to admit, due mainly to the multiplayer, Rainbow 6: Vegas has swung it for me for 360 game of the year.

    1st Rainbow 6: Vegas
    2nd Oblivion
    3rd Gears of War
    4th Viva Pinata

    Man, you really need the horsepower to get this to run smoothly on PC! This is the first game I've had to drop down to 1024x768 in order to get it to play! Looks pretty though and the tactical game play combined with the shooter aspects make it a blast.

    The graphics look just incredible.
    It may use with the same engine that double agent uses.
