Very short and to the point:

Vegas 2 is very much an expansion to Vegas 1 that lacks a soul. The game has the basic look and vibe of the original, but outside of some additional elements ripped off from COD4, not much else.

The levels are bland, uninspired corridors compared to the beautiful Casinos of the first game. The story is oddly paced and all over the place. And the difficulty level goes from perfect to ridiculously cheap and trial & error filled about halfway through. In fact, this is probably the most trial & error Clancy game of any kind.

Grpahically, its slightly improved over the original, but that improvement seems to have meant we now get a choppy, single-digits framerate in big firefights, as well as assets loading into the game for a good minute sometimes after loading up a level.

Its a decent game overall, just nowhere near what it should have been, and not the jawdropper the original was 2 years ago.

Gameplay: 7
Graphics: 8

Value: 7

Overall: 7.5
