Customer Reviews

Not as "Vegas-y" as the first game.
I am running the game at Max settings at 1900*1200 resolution with no frame rate issues, constant 60fps+


I am a great fan of Vegas 1, and GRAW1+2 please bare that in mind when reading this review.

Great game, previous reviewers said there are many glitches in the game, I personally have not noticed these glitches so I can not say for certain they don't exist.

The game has less brightly coloured purple, gold and red casino levels as the vegas 1 did. Instead making room for different levels such as the MLG Conference which is a nice idea. The graphical quality is very similar, some textures are bland, such as your own body armer. It would have been better to have been able to have higher resolution textures on your character. But this only applies to a few body armers available.

Gameplay is the same as Vegas 1 with a few minor extras. The game is as is as good and as fun as the Vegas 1 also.

The Reviewer complaining about difficulty and "AI cheating" on Normal, might be new to the franchise, and for myself is not in anyway as annoying as the reviewer makes it out to be. Checkpoints are as frequent as Halo's!

Multiplayer online is fantastic and bags of fun, in paticular the terrorist hunts.

I was tempted to give this an overall 4/5 because of the reduction in bright lights levels, but I figured Vegas 2 would have been too similar and in fact dull for those who have already played the 1st Vegas.

I have found it more enjoyable than Call of Duty 4, though many would probably disagree. Each to their own.

Ported console version to PC, they have ruined it
The game as some others are reporting is definately a ported console version to the PC, and doesnt feel as though it has quality at all. They have ruined what was a classic, plus if i wanted to play the game like a console then i would buy a console. The game is far too arcade like, no suspense or action like the good old days. Ubisoft have ruined the franchise, and will not buy any more of the future series.

Rainbow Sick: Vegas 2
Compared to the first game, Terrorist Hunt played on Normal was excellent and I have never re-played any game so much, but I have marked Vegas 2 down because some of the maps, namely Three Kingdoms Casino and Murdertown played on Normal have lost the ratio of fun over difficulty by making them far too difficult, to the point where tactics are rendered virtually useless as the A.I 'cheats' into killing you. This is especially obvious when you are shot by a gun that is pointed 90 degrees away from you or you shoot a terrorist at close range with the whole mag. and he doesn't die. For Normal read Almost Impossible. How much fun is it if you are not making progress ?, and as for the point scoring and un-locking weapons, well I suppose where into Console Clone territory.
