    Assassin's creed is much more attractive...and you get to roam around lk you do in gta... vegas 2 is a little too short and they really didnt work too much on improving the graphics.

    I say Vegas 2... i have both and the online of Vegas 2 is awesome, singple player although short is very fun. Personalization of weapons and gear/gadgets is fun and i think online is up there with cod4 in terms of having a great time
    If you're looking for just a single player experience go with AC.

    both are great games, I'd try to get both if I were you... AC is available at gogamer.com today for $29.

    Assassins Creed gets repetitive, and so far Vegas 2 is like a big budget hollywood action movie for me. I say Vegas 2.

    I vote Vegas 2... honestly enjoying the gameplay! It's rather a mix of Swat 4 and any normal FPS! :D

    rainbow six vegas 2.

    After you play assassin's creed, there's virtually no playback. You already know what to expect.

    I vote AC only because of the story. Other than that, it`s a boring game...

    Assassin's Creed is perhaps the dullest game I've had the misfortune of played in my twenty-two years of playing video games.

    It's decent. Not as big as COD 4 or BF 2. Co-op for terrorist hunt, and the versus modes are really the big aspects of online play for R6V2.

    I would get neither... AC is very repetitive, and R6V2 is just like a clone of the original Vegas without much improvement (in gameplay and in graphics).

    Rainbow Six Vegas 2 here. Assassins Creed had some nice graphics but the combat was a lot more simplified than i thought.

    Rainbow Six Vegas 2 i play regularly due to the online and PEC Character Customisation and its got heaps of replay value being able to do co-op story and terrorist hunt with your friends. A little annoyed with its trend towards being similar to the fast paced Halo, COD4 games but its still a fun game.

    Also They are starting to work out most of the bugs now with the last 1.02 patch released.

    Also want to note, R6V2 is different than most shooters. You don't exactly just "run n gun". You have to take cover, and think of ways to beat your enemy. You have access to thermal vision(most games don't use this) and night vision as well. And, you can blindfire, which is a pretty handy thing to have when fighting.

    Assassin Creed is better but need too high requirment.
    R6 is good even my laptop can run it smoothly on 1280x1024, but no AA
    If on, screen crash

    Assassin's Creed is great until I ended the third boss, everything are way too repetitive. However I also have motion sickness in the new Rainbow six, bought vagas 1 last year and only done 10 minutes game play.

    I voted Vegas 2. I just beat it, yet I keep playing it. If you liked Vegas, Vegas 2 is pretty much the exact same game, except better in every way. The main character isn't Logan, which is nice, so you don't have to listen to that generic Texan accent all freaking game, and there's a long part where you have to lone wolf it that's a LOT of fun.

    The character customization is a lot of fun, too, and I've found that even single player is plenty fun enough. With the addition of the ACES system, Vegas 2 has resulted in games stacking up next to my computer, waiting to be played because I'm so busy trying to rank up.

    It seems that Vegas 2 is continuing to run on the great formula that R6 has been established on, but AC introduces new concepts.
