Product Description
Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword puts you in charge of Team Rainbow again. In this thrilling new expansion pack, you track down the last desperate elements of a terrorist group in the Mediterranean. These last few cells are holding onto deadly chemical weapons, and they'll use them to destroy millions of lives -- unless you lead the world's premier counter-terror force and neutralize the threat.

 Rainbow Six is in trouble December 28, 2005

I love the Rainbow Six Series. I'm in the military, have graduated from both Anti-Terror and Team Tactics schools. The Rainbow Six Series is an excellent series. The Tactics needed to play the game are almost identical to those used in real Close Quarters Combat scenarios.
That being said. WOW IS THIS ADD ON BUGGY! I played Raven Shield with no noticable problems, but when I added the Athena Sword Patch, all hell broke loose. Suddenly my computer began locking up, The sound would crash, and overall just a host of problems with the add on. My computer is used almost exclusively for gaming, and the Athena Sword patch was the only thing that had changed from when I played Raven Shield, so that is why I hold it responsible. I think Reading the reviews here supports my theory.
The maps looked very good, especialy for Online Play, but the glitches in the game became so frustrating that I have yet to play them all. Evidently you can download fixes, but if I have to patch a game more than once, just to make it work, then I have no interest in playing it. Skip this game and wait for the next one. Hopefully they'll get it right. I'm going to give them one more chance before I give up on UBI Soft.
I also didnt' appriciate them installing thier hokey website shortcut on and software on my computer. (Yes, I realize that it's easy to remove, and if I payed closer attention I could have prevented it from being installed, but come on.)
Rainbow Six Series is a great series, but I fear that it may go the way of Mech Warrior. Skip this game.
 Great new maps February 12, 2005

My buddy and I love the new maps that come with the Athena Sword expansion pack. We hook up on a LAN and play terrorist hunt for points. We play on a 6 min timer and see who can get the most guys. After we finish with all the maps the guy with the highest terrorist kill count wins. I've read some complaints about the game from people who feel they pack is short on missions. Since I only play it multiplayer, the large selection of maps is great. The AI is also better. The Tangos on this one actually hunt you down. They also lay down, which makes think they are dead. We have been playing this game since it came out and still enjoy it. The expansion pack made it even better. Tango Down!

Yes I a big fan of the Rainbow 6 series, so I waited in anticipation to play this game. Well I was able to complete it in less than one day the 8 new missions, that was to have my team wiped out once or twice and then completing the level without so much as a scratch. Graphics, Sounds were fantastic, but this add on is miles to easy. Folks save your money and forget this offering.

This game has major problems if you're buying it for your PC. Ubi.com has many patches you can download but after 2 weeks the game still won't run on my PC which meets all the criteria it asks for. Before buying check www.ubi.com message boards to see all the problems people are having with this game. I have the other Rainbow Six games and haven't had any problem with them.
