This is decent. Fun game plot, but different from the book. The controls are hard too.

So you want to know about Rainbow Six?

In this life of Playstation 2 and Rainbow Six 3 coming out i figured it was time to get caught up as ive recently become interested in Clancy's Jack Ryan books and as a major fan of John Clark i figured it was time to track down this game and play it. I enjoy first person shooter games like Bond and the Medal of Honor series. One thing i love about Six is that there is more of a level of reality to it because nothing is more obnoxious than playing a game and having your character absorb a hundred shots to the head and hes still plugging along shooting baddies. And then you run into the "boss" baddie and use a rocket launcher and unload three clips into him before he dies. In this game if you get shot in the head your done, you shoot a baddie in the knees and his leg buckles out from underhim. if one of your team members is KIA they dont come back, and you have to wait for your team members to heal if they were wounded in battle. Yes the graphics are a little rough but it is still fun to play cause it takes more strategy than your average FPS. and yes the controls were horrible at first but in the 1st controller setting ive gotten so use to being able to sidestep around corners its become an invaluable technique for surviving in the terrorist filled world. Can't wait to go home and play even more!

This video game is awesome. The guns and gameplay are like no other video game. This game has better graphic than any game you will find out there even the ones on Xbox.

Awesome Game

This game is very challenging and a lot of fun. It's a good game to play alone or with a buddy! If you like games that keep you on your toes... this is the one for you!

Here's the thing, the PC version is much better then PlayStation's, but that has to be expected. They took out a whole lot of strategy when transplanting it onto the PSX. However, if you enjoy 007 types of games, you'll enjoy this one. One of the redeeming qualities is the ability to choose who will be on your team and what gear they can carry. Some advice: 9 times out of 10 all you'll need is extra ammo.

Not the best but still a great game.

This game isn't the best but its also not the worst there is a total of 13 missions in the game. Most of the missions are easy but some are just impossible. Any way this game is ok.

One of the worst games i've ever played

When I heard that Rainbow Six would come out for Playstation, I was very excited. Being a Mac user, I was insanely jealous of my friends who were playing an awesome R6 on their PCs. When I got this game, though, I was almost sickened by the complete crapiness of it.The akward control set up make a terrible FPS. The aim buttons (R1, R2 for up and down)are hard to reach for in a rush and are so sensitive that one touch can have you pumping the ceiling or floor full of lead.The selection of guns is formidable, but in combat, the only difference between the guns is between the silenced and unsilenced guns. The main flaw of this game, though is that it eliminates the wonderful strategy aspect of the PC version. Instead of mapping your teams' routes, the only strategy is choosing which of three entry points will you enter from. Taking out one of the best features of the PC version make this game one of the worst made for any platform

This game is ok I guess. I rated it 4-5-4
The Game does get boring after you play and beat it a million times.
It is a good teaching game that shows kids what kind of stuff these people do. They protect the little people..lol

This game is a good first person shooter. If you like games that shoot, or killing people to save people. This game is for you

nice concept, interesting enough missions, but bad gameplay

I have never played any of the Rainbow Six games before, I've never read any of the books with that title. I picked this game up at an exchange place. I traded 2 other PS1 games I never played for it. It sounds interesting, playing counterterrorism experts, going in and taking out the bad guys, doing all sorts of missions...plus, it's a really nice look at the various ways they do missions, work together as a team, and you get to check out all the different weapons they use.

That's all fine and dandy, but the gameplay is too difficult. The game uses all the buttons, PLUS the buttons on the analog controllers too. It's very awkward overall. To run, you have to hold in the left controls while pushing forward or backward or whatever. To aim the gun, you have to use your right hand for both aiming and shooting (I usually throw my left thumb on the control to aim, because doing it with your right feels so odd, and it's nearly impossible to land on anyone.) Easy mode comes into play here, because I think it aims for you a bit. Either way, aiming is too hard to make it a great game. Even walking is a challenge sometimes, because you have so many different controls and buttons you have to use.

The missions I have played so far are fairly easy in the lowest setting (easy mode), and you get all 3 guys to play with, but like other reviews have mentioned, the buildings are boring. There is barely any furniture in any of them, and they all look fairly the same.

On the issue of the interaction with others in the game...it's rather odd. The ambassador in the first mission is standing in the middle of a room, but the terrorists couldn't find him? Also, the terrorists are very bad aims (again, in easy mode)...they'll take 10 shots before they even hit you, and it might take you ten shots just to aim the controls without going past them and actually take them down. Maybe I haven't had enough experience with the controls and it gets easier, but I doubt it gets easy enough where it feels normal.

Not bashing the game, because so far, I like it. It's enjoyable, and it's nice that you can select a difficulty level, and it's an interesting concept overall. With better controls and more depth and work done on each environment, this game could have been a lot better. I like it enough tho, and I'll keep playing till I beat it or get tired of it.
