Rainbow Six Vegas

This is a first person shooter, you play as a member of a swat team, and you usually have 2 team members along your side. These team members you can give commands to. You can have them go up to a door, place a breaching charge blow the door off and then clear the room of terrorists, or you can have them open the door, throw a frag, or smoke, or flash grenade and then clear the room. This becomes repetitive but necessary to beat the game. Also you have a snake cam, which you can stick under doors and see what’s on the other side with out the enemy noticing you. More than that you can even target the enemy units on the other for each one of your team members to take out first. All of this makes the campaign extremely fun, but on top of that it’s challenging, you teammates can become downed, in which you need to or send the other one over to heal him. If they are down to long they die, also you die quickly if you get hit twice your probably dead, if the guy has a shotgun and it’s up close your dead. The story line is there, but it is the game play that keeps you going.

There is a mode called terrorist hunt in which you or you and a friend play a co-op mode, in this mode you select a map, and difficulty (difficulty ranges from normal to realistic same as campaign) you go around this map trying to kill all the terrorists in the time allotted. About these difficulties, in normal when you put that aiming circle over an enemy unit it turns red, how ever on realistic it doesn’t that’s pretty much the only difference, you may not think that’s much but to do most of this you need a teammate and you don’t want to get caught in friendly fire.

Also this game has an online mode where you can play against other people. Its basically like your playing yourself in a one on one battle royal. This is a great game and they have recently came out with a sequel to it. Hopefully it will be as good as this.

This is a link to a video of a terrorist hunt game being played solo, its on the map the library
