WHAT'S THE STORY? Ubisoft's tactical shooter series goes from gritty to glitzy, as you paste Mexican terrorists against the bright lights and casinos of Vegas. Scale a building, clear a room, blow your wages on a video poker machine. It's all still rock hard, mind.

WHAT'S IT GOT? A sprawling setting, brilliant co-op and a multiplayer segment more giant than King Kong's poo-stained Y-fronts.

NOT FOR: Gambling addicts. Incompetent action wannabes still struggling with 1992 Doom.
