For quite a while this game was the staple of mine and my friends online gaming diet, it is a great first person shooter and at the time of playing it i beleved it even rivaled the ledgendary goldeneye for multiplayer

Game Play-
The game starts in mexico as you persue a terrorist cell, this leads you to a beseiged vegas were the remainder of the game takes place, you move from casino to casio and through the streets to occomplish your misson. It would seem on he surface that the game would get samey but it doesnt as it really takes advantage of the various 'themed' casinos in vega making each one different

Graphics-
at the time of release the graphics were the best i had seen. now though after playing CALL OF DUTY and other newer games the graphics seem a little blocky and lack in realistic shine on the guns etc, also the noises and flashing lights of the casinos various gambeling machines are enough to make you stop in a hypnotised stare until a helpful terrorist/opponent shoots you out of your trance,

Online-
The online works in the same way as many 1st person shoots, with the nice addition of a 3rd person view in certain situations eg, peeping around a wall and rappeling through windows. It includes several game mode, the most outstanding being capture the briefcase in which your team must transport a case to an extraction whilst the other team trys to stop you.
the problem with this is that last timei attempted online play there were very few people actually playing so you may struggle to get an online match
