Tom Clancy's Rainbow 2.0

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas is one of the best tactical shooters ever. The game was the first of its series to make it to a next generation console, and thus, to millions of willing players. The popularity that this game achieved was unprecedented. The reasons for that are simple. The game puts you on command of a squad of elite police officers who have to take down a fictional terrorist cell that operates in Vegas. You are given the possibility to choose your weapons before each mission and how you do that will influence the outcome of your mission. The game was one of the first to successfully use a cover system. Thanks to it, you could take cover on any surface and shoot blindly from it, or simply step up and aim and shoot. The great controls allowed for it. Action is so more fun when you can actually take cover and plan your attack in a more realistic way. The graphics were also great. Perhaps the other factor that made this game so popular was the plot. The missions were really connected one with the other, and in certain missions, when you were kidnapped or taken out, you would start the next mission without weapons. The cinematic cuts were so realistic that it often felt like you were watching a movie.
