If he can?t manage to lob a grenade over the low wall he?s sheltering behind, well? we?re all in trouble. The hero, or 'that bastard Bishop' as I call him, is a bloody instructor of THE international anti-terrorist force for chrissakes. I also noticed a few glitches in the ?hit detection? beyond the guy walking though the closed door and one very disturbing case where when I tried to chuck a grenade over the railing I was taking cover behind and it bounced back into my lap, which seemed extremely counter-intuitive? The game sounds fantastic, although I did have problems hearing some speech at times, even with the music turned down and voice all the way up. However, I think the previous instalment was actually more ?Vegas? than this one, which visits less neon-infested regions of Sin City and its environs? some of which are predictably of the ubiquitous bunkeresque, industrial-concrete corridors with the requisite exposed piping and conduits.

R6V2 has certainly evolved beyond the more primitive species of this genus and the explosions of light and sound and riot of colours, which are native to that area of the Nevada desert provided a challenging opportunity for their art and level designers. When Ubisoft decided to go to Vegas with the Rainbow Six franchise I have to believe that one of the reasons was to avoid the sort of samey-sameyness that pervades so-called ?corridor? shooters.
