Only the PlayStation 3 and PSP versions remain to be released early next year, now that Ubisoft has deployed the PC version of Rainbow Six: Vegas to stores this week, following the Xbox 360 version a few weeks ago (and the long-since cancelled PS2 version). Developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas is the fifth iteration of the multimillion-selling tactical shooter franchise, and the first one to take the series to the next-gen level.
The game starts out at the Mexican border, where team Rainbow is in pursuit of some international terrorists. Shortly after that, the action will obviously lead you to the sin city of Las Vegas, where you'll have to tackle explosive situations in glitzy locations.
"In the most dramatic installment of the renowned first-person shooter franchise to date Rainbow operatives take to the chaotic streets of Las Vegas as an escalating terrorist siege in "Sin City" threatens to take world terrorism to new, uncontrollable heights. The future of global security hangs in the balance as you battle to defend classic Vegas locations and environments like Fremont Street, the Strip and casinos. Experience Las Vegas like never before - through revolutionary next generation technology as you work against the clock to protect one of the world's most recognizable cities from utter devastation." Along with the PC version comes the first patch already, promoting the game to version 1.01. The 34 MB download is available locally, and you can see the list of changes applied by this update on our download page.
And finally, an auto-update for the Xbox 360 version of Rainbow Six: Vegas was released on Xbox Live yesterday, fixing quite a lot of problems in multiplayer, mostly. You can view the lenghty list of changes on Ubi's forums.
