Customer Reviews

Great fun gameplay same as the first but Holy Hell! SO MUCH ADVERTISING ITS SICKENING
Great paced action same as the first Vegas but they've put more work into map layout to incorporate co-op play. This also works fairly well in singleplayer/story mode. They've also imcorporated some of the arcade achevements=rewards system from Call of Duty 4.
Feels like little more control of your team but also feels ever so slightly that the controls have been complicated. All the time I'm trying to do something that uses uses the action key and end up doing something else since its a multiuse button now. Same sometimes with the squad commands/satalite heat vision map button. Cover same feels not quite as good as before with getting hung up all the time and cover not giving proper cover.
Graphics and sound look and sound exactly the same to me and performance doesn't seem to have been improved much. Its a port of the console version basically so suffers dreadfully for it. Shame.

They could have, and sould have listened to gamers complaints about the last game. The extremely annoying checkpoint system is still here (in fact worse) and you'll be forced to go through some monotonous easy sections repeatedly before getting back to that trouble section. You'll get very frustrated with how easy it is to die. Single shot often even with the most protective armor combination and this still means going back to checkpoint instead of a squady coming and patching you up like you can with them.
Comms ofted broken up (audio) and miss some bits.

They're using enemy spawning. Not a repeating spawning thing but as you go into areas and in a few areas it happans right in view. This makes the thermal scan completely inefective as the enemys your trying to get a preview of with it aren't there yet and it has extreme lag also (unless you kill someone, then its has no lag strangely). Useless other than maybe already in a firefight. Also use trigger points that sometimes defeat the open ended approches to scenarios. Solo mission for example might as well forget trying stealthy as several trigger points send waves of enemys out matter how silent deadly you have been.
They need to redo the new squad commands/ai. Using them is easy and everything from last game works same and well but getting your team mates to throw a grenade where you want is back to the old 'they take it as sugestion instead of an order'. Often they freeze and don't do what told or position themselves in such a way the grenade they throw hits something and bounces back. Or they refuse to do it for no reason. Also there's a second or two lag between giving the order and them acknoleging it (yet alone try follow it).
Can use smoke grenades more and much more effectively although far too often the enemie seem to be able to see right through the smoke. Also their reaction times are just stupidly fast. From expecting nothing to see you and hiting you in the head -single clean shot- in the blink of an eye. Faster than you poke round a corner and get a surprise shot off even.
Honestly the game seems quite short so I'd recomend playing it on Normal mode minimum or if your really in for a chalange and have the patience go for hard straight away to make it last longer. That way forced to crawl along using every bit cover essential and use tactics as much as possible.


My big complaint with the whole game is all the enviroments you go through seem be have been chosen almost solely for there in-game advertising potential and they go extremely overboard with it. Highress advertising textures every few feet. Mixed real and I think fake. Realism my backside its just sickening by half way through the game they've gone so far with it in large sections of the game. Everything from Farcry 2 to Comcast. How the hell they can charge us for this game given they've just used the same engine from previous the installment and a lot of the assets too. They must be making a serious mint from all the ingame advertising and charging us premium price for it all. Disgusting.
Great action gameplay and even more tachtical now with the new emphasis on co-op play maps meaning more choise how to approach some situations and the multiplayer style singleplayer hunt maps are nasty hard but great fun. Droped 2 stars overall for the lack of effort on the engine performance tweaking, visuals and way over the top advertising. Let it mature a couple months at least and hopefully they'll iron out a few bugs and should drop in price. Should resufe to pay premium for a game with so much advertising.

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.
