People keep going on about how the PS3 Vegas is a return to the highly tactical, slow-paced Rainbow Six games of old, but this PSP version refuses to play ball and stubbornly continues where Lockdown's more arcadey leanings left off on PS2. Maybe it's the handheld's limited capacity or its button layout restrictions, but Rainbow Six Vegas is one arduous shooting gallery of a game.

There aren't any tactical planning options or squad-based shenanigans that would have brought some much-needed depth; instead you take control of new ops Bꦺrian Armstrong and Shawn Rivers, alternating between the two at fixed points in each mission when one needs the other's help to progress.

Usually this assistance means opening doors remotely, but🦄 occasionally you'll give more direct help by picking off snipers and covering your teammate's or a hostage's movements as they take fire. The constant🍸 switching works well enough, but it doesn't make the game any less straightforward or bland.
