I understand this is another review of an old-ish game, but I might as well write one on it since it's actually my first time to play this game.

So anyway the last time I ever played an R6 game was Rogue Spear, which was obviously years and years ago. So upon getting a taste of the new(ish) Vegas look and feel, not to mention all of the new features and functions, I suddenly felt like all other FPS games are lacking. And that includes Battlefield 2, which is one of the best and most realistic of all FPS games today, in my opinion.

Anyway, what makes Vegas cool isn't necessarily the realism or even the immersiveness. It's not necessarily immersive because there are times when you can see your character in third-person view (particularly when taking cover). It's kinda like a cross between Battlefield and Gears of War, I'd say. It mixes arcade-ish tactics with realism in a strange way that seems to work.

I know a lot of people dislike Vegas, but I have to say, if I stop thinking of it as a faithful R6 game, it's a really fun game that can have you absorbed in it for hours. I literally have to pry myself away from the computer when I play for too long. Even just Terrorist Hunt mode is very exciting.

My main complaint is showing the third-person view of the character when in take cover mode, and the fact that they don't have as many guns as they did back in Rogue Spear. They don't even have basic spec ops/SWAT/military guns like M4's, M16's, and MP5K PDW. That made me a little sad, but I'm told there may be a few mods here and there for that. I haven't done any searching yet, but I'm hoping it's true.

Haven't played enough yet to give any ratings. But so far so good. It's a really exciting and enjoyable game.
