 Rainbow Six 3 May 4, 2005
This game is great, if you like squad based tactics, this is your game. Well worth the money.
 different from pc version but still fun March 31, 2005
ok I cut my teeth with the PC Rainbow Six back in 1999. In the pc version, you have a lot of freedom to choose your team, where they will enter and exit, what they will do once there etc. Naturally this means a lot of pre-planning before you actually start the mission. The PS 2 version of things is definitely geared more towards action and less towards planning and stealth. That's not necessarily bad, but if you are a fan of the PC version of Rogue Spear or Raven Shield, please understand that this game is lot more like Soldier of Fortune - a very linear shooter with the emphasis on action. R6 vets will recognize a lot of the maps - most of them are modified versions of the maps found in Raven Shield.
Still I enjoyed this game. In this game you can do a few things which you can't do (or do easily) in the pc version. For example, using zulu go codes, you can leave your team while you go and do something else. This is especially fun if you want to set up an attack from more than one side of a room. Unfortunately, since the game is very linear and you don't have a map, you don't get to do this a whole lot, and usually you can tell when the map wants you to do it that way (two doors side by side). And since you don't plan stuff out in advance, you can simply back up and retreat if things go wrong. You character can take up to 4 shots in the game - the PC R6 is one shot, one kill unless the enemy is very far away.
It's fun to drop this in for some old school shooter action with realistic weapons and maps. Just don't expect the same experience as the PC version.
One fun ride... October 24, 2004
This is a great first-person shooter from Tom Clancy. The gameplay is fluid and pretty realistic. The squad control is great with stategy being equally important as marksmanship. Highly recommended.
A good 'ol RB6 time August 19, 2004

If you haven't played the earlier Rainbow Six series, here's a brief rundown: you play as a squad commander, outfit your team of counter terrorist specialists with the proper equipment for the mission (for the record: it doesn't matter one bit which guns you pick), then sneak around buildings/jungles/houses/boats, etc. obliterating a bunch of bad guys. Yeah, super original, but the emphasis is definitely on the word "sneak"-if you go in guns blazing the ornery terrorists will quickly dispatch the weak-ass hostages, causing your mission to fail and you to fling your controller against the couch in disgust. By coordinating your movements with your crack team of operatives (they all have different accents, and it's sometimes fun to blast the French guy in the face just because), you'll be able to simultaneously kick in a door on one side of the room while tossing flash-bangs in from another door; then you can simply go about your business, shooting terrorists in the chest while ducking and taking cover. The graphics are nicely rendered, the AI is pretty smart, and it's tons of fun to peek around a corner and rat-a-tat some fool in the neck who doesn't even know you're there, which really reminds me a lot of my regular life.
 There's better Tom Clancey games. August 5, 2004
This is a pretty good game with pretty good levels, a competitive Al, and ok graphics. A lot of die hard Tom Clancey fans hate this game. I'm not one of them though but I have played my share of them Splinter Cell, etc.... It has a great virety of weapons but your teammates are kind of smart and dumb. They follow orders ok but they make stupid decisions when in combat. There is an extra level in here unlike the XBOX version. The levels are a little short but are very hard. You would have to repeat the levels over and over again which makes it a little boreing. It doesn't even have a thing where you can set the difficulty. It has a very nice multiplayer mode which makes the game very fun for 2 people. The online mode is so-so. Other then that the game plays fine and I never had any serious glithces. For $20.00 you should get this game if your into the shooting genre.
