fter months of delays, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas has finally descended onto the PlayStation 3. Ubisoft’s tactical shooter has been out since late last year on the Xbox 360 and PC, while PlayStation fans have had to sit tight and hope that their version could stand up to the competition. Fortunately, the answer is by and large a resounding yes, with Ubisoft having delivered an online (and even single-player) experience that shouldn’t be missed by strategic action fans.

For the most part, Rainbow Six: Vegas on the PlayStation 3 is identical in most respects to its counterparts on other systems, but the wait for PS3 owners has paid off a bit in terms of value.

This includes a couple new modes and a large handful of new maps, giving you some 20 maps to play on.
