Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 - Packaging Review
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008i have RAINBOWS! >giggles<
I picked up the 360 version of Rainbow 6: Vegas 2, since they didn’t have the Limited Edition one here, so the cover is this fuck ugly orangeovision guy rappelling with shitty lettering instead of the cool poker spade design that actually doesn’t suck.
I’m further irritated by the fact that I was secretly hoping that the PS3 version would be chock full of badass instead of having reduced textures, lighting, and frame rate, and the PS3 versions of the case don’t have stupid ad text FOREVER ON THE COVER AS LONG AS YOU OWN THE GAME. Furthermore, the Limited Edition look just looks better with black trim, instead of the Christmas green that the 360 cases have to have.
This is as bad as the differences between the Japanese Kagero Deception cover and the US one from the old Playstation game.
Okay, maybe not.
What pisses me off more is reading the back and seeing:
“Plan your assault on breathtaking new Vegas hotspots alone or with up to three friends in a massively upgraded co-op mode.”
and:
co-op 2-4 (same console)
co-op 2-10 (online)
Actually, Story Mode Co-op(AKA normal co-op mode) was reduced from 4 players to 2 players only, and this is like the opposite of a “massive upgrade”. But okay, they have Terrorist Hunt mode, which does allow for more than 2 players, but only up to 4, WHICH IS NOT 10. Why must you let these lies spew forth from your lie-hole, Ubisoft?
Oh well. I’ll probably play the crap out of it with my brother and love it anyway.
