"Rainbow Six Vegas 2 or Condemned 2? Gamespot gave both an 8.5. Not that that matters too much really tho. RSV2 looks like too much more of the same and I hear the online is unplayable. Newer videos of Condemned 2 look really great and lots of blood that weren't present in any of the vids posted here"
No commentos on that post :(
I ended up getting R6V2. God damn it is terrible. I got it for the multiplayer on the PS3 and the multipalyer is so fucked up. I got to play for like 5 mins and then it drops you and since then I can't even connect to any game. Yippie for bad decisions. I picked up Condemned 2 and look around while holding it and at the last minute I switched it for R6V2 before we left Best Buy. Bad decision....played the demo of Condemned 2 afterwards and it is awesome.

There has been loads of copycats besides PRS in the past, but I guess Gibson mainly took notice because they saw how good PRS did with sales of the single-cut.
