Bad Install November 27, 2008
S. Vogt (USA)
I bought it and was excited to begin playing. Then I realized that StarForce security wasn't going to let me do that.I uninstalled it 5 times, only to discover that it was clogging up my laptop's memory. I only survived by using system restore. If you want this game, then get it for Xbox or PS2, that way it might actually runn.
 Rainbow six my way May 6, 2008

I admit i am not a true rainbow six game fan. but i loved the book and finally there is a game suited to my playing style. Run, Shoot and ask questions later. Unlike the earlier and later Rainbow six games this is a true shooter and not a tactical shooter. the boring planning and waiting is over. run in guns-a-blazing and destroy any resistance.
Disappointment March 31, 2008

This game is NOT the awful piece of junk which you are reading about in other reviews. But, it's not really an R6 game. In short, this game is an extremely generic run around and blast tangos shooter. There are some fun moments here and there as you might expect. A few weeks after having last played it, I really don't remember a single mission individually. All were based up on going into some building, blasting a bunch of carbon-copy tangos, and either defusing a bomb or rescuing some hostages. I seem to recall one mission had a long slog through a garage, while another was in some sort of cave.
The big departure is that you do not plan any of this. You are dropped into a spot and told to rescue hostages or do some other such B movie standard mission. You are led down a linear path to the objective, after which a new mission is given. It's all totally generic and forgettable. You do get to choose your weapons and kit loudout, but you can't do any of the extreme customization as could in Rogue Spear or Raven Shield. I am not sure why Ubisoft is going down this path. Part of the appeal of the older R6 games was the strategy and planning aspect. This game to me looks like a port from a console, and it shows badly. It's very simplistic and linear. Ubisoft is sticking it to the console fans who made this a great franchise in the late 90s and early 00s.
Graphics are quite sharp in the game, and the voice acting and sounds are ok as well. But shortly after I finished the first few missions, I simply put the game down and reloaded CALL OF DUTY 4. There's really nothing here you cannot find in any other special forces themed shooter. This is probably in the discount bin now, so take a pass on it (and also Rainbow Six Vegas) and grab CALL OF DUTY 4; that game is what a special forces shooter should be.
One of the Lamest Rainbow Six games! February 13, 2008

As a huge fan of Clancy games, I mistakenly bought this one. The graphics are fairly nice, but the 'on rails' feel and constant 'trigger point' AI is frustrating. The AI is some of the worst I've ever seen in a game. Your team is SO stupid you'll want to just keep sending them back to the start point to keep them alive and out of your way. The enemy AI also becomes boring in how they always do and say the same thing over and over. I turned the game difficulty all the way up, and it's still just a 'yawn festival'. Online verses play is fun, but good luck finding anyone out there! Don't waste your $$ or time on this one!
 Really bad February 6, 2008

I agree with most of the other people that posted. This game is a straight run and gun game with no planing or strategy. Hell most of the time your team seems to be there to serve as another target for your enemy. The AI sucks badly most "breach bang and clear" strategies seem to fail most of the time. Also you only get one squad instead of 3, no mission planning and the weapon selections blows. They probably took out the mission planning since they want the game to be a run gun style game. I would probably given this game a higher score if they named it something other than R6 for the reason when I think of a Tom Clancy game I think of strategy, Teamwork and patience ,you don't need any of that here. Don't get me wrong its a mediocre game at best but doesn't deserve the R6 title.
