All Things Chill

I’ve played the demo on my Xbox360 countless times… and I’m loving every minute of the next-gen graphics and how the game’s “checkpoint” events really move story along. For example, when you clear a certain area… something happens in the environment to give you a reason to continue (like a building collapsing right in front of your eyes). The video that I posted above doesn’t have the best quality, but it really displays how streamlined the gameplay can be… right down to glancing around corners for enemies, using spycams to view what’s on the other side of closed doors and rockin’ diversion techniques with two of your similarly equipped teammates.

Ubisoft changed up the gameplay (thanks to their Montreal studio) for the last failure installment (Rainbow 6: Lockdown), but they’ve really gone back to their roots with this one. It’ll never be the same as those late nights playing Black Arrow with 16 of my favorite Midwestern suburban-ites… but it’ll be close… I hope!

I hardly get excited for video game, but this one should be a free time vampire when it drops on November 20th.

EEEEE Co-op lives again!
