Not very good

Urban Ops was a lot better. The online play addition was nice, but that's all this game is really good for. The earlier R6 games have much better environments and provide a much greater challenge. I think it's pretty bad when one can complete this game on the Veteran setting in under two hours. On the brighter side, the weapons additions are very nice. I'm not too sure how many are added (and they are only available on the multiplayre setting), but they are all pretty fun to play around with. It gives a sense of what the enemy is using against you.

Ah, Tom Claney comes out with another great Rainbow Six game.
This game is so realistic, it has great grafic senes. I would rate it game of the year. Nothing comes closer to putting you in real life special forces ation. It's so real you'll be yelling "Brovo Go" in your sleep for weeks.

I have heard that this game was highly anticipated, then when it was relaesed, it was dissapointing. I really looked forward to it and i read the reviews, and i said "Forget it" and i bought a better game like Delta Force 2. I heard this game has cool graphics and neat new weapons like the French FAMAS G2 rifle, FN P90 5.7mm submachine gun, and the Steyr TMP. Although these weapons sound cool, the difference in the weapons compared to the other weapons is just noise and range. Usually, 3 round bursts from any weapon will drop a tango (terrorist). But, it has neat, new missions in cool places and has cool counter-terrorism tactics.

I love Rogue Spear. And if you're here, it's because you either love Rogue Spear as well or are interested in learning to love the series. I own Rainbow Six, Covert Ops and now this is a new addition to my collection. But I am not happy. There is just nothing really new in this game. It's really more of the same thing. Don't get me wrong, this is not a horrible game. It plays well, the graphics are decent (pretty much identical with Rainbow Six:Rogue Spear), but nothing improved or ground breaking.
What tends to happen when you have more of the same stuff is you get bored easily....and that I did, with this game. I hate to say it, but I never even finished this game because I got bored, plus I picked up a copy of Ghost Recon (once you go Ghost, you'll never go back). This game never really kept me going. I got to the level where you have to stop the bad guys before they escape on a bus, after a couple of trys, I just lost interest.
Bottom line: If you've never played any of the Rainbow Six games and you want to start, I highly reccommend you pick up Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, every level in that game is fun and it has good replay value. I'm all about "the experience" when it comes to playing games, I strive to have a fun experience, but with this game it just wasn't there, if anything, it felt more like a job. If you own any of the previous series, I really don't reccommend this unless you really have to get every game in the series. If anything, wait for Raven.

NOT WORTH IT!!!

First let me start off saying that this expansion pack was probably a last-ditch effort for R6 before Ghost Recon came out (which is an excellent game i might add). I bought Black Thorn for [price], and it only comes with 9 missions, and a couple new guns. Its VERY boring! I wish i'd never bought it. The graphics are pretty ok, the sound is good (creative EAX), game play is fine, but it just doesnt live up to the other R6's. I'd get Ghost Recon insted.

DISAPPOINTED

Well I think the game was good but it seemed a complete re-hash of all the different Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear games! UBI - SOFT, you can do better! Firstly, when you shoot the lights, they don't blow up or stop emmitting light! One good thing is that - they did this in Urban Ops - when you shoot the fire extinguishers, spray does come out and it stops, but when you shoot it again it sprays for exactly the same length of time, also the guns, as someone wrote in a different review, have been described wrongly, some of them take the wrong ammo!

Disappointing!

Covert Ops came out on the 1st March 2002 and I have ordered it, it takes AGES to arrive! It better be better than this!

Apart from a few mistakes, the game is worth buying and you do NOT need any other Rainbow Six game or Rogue Spear game!

Covert Ops also does not need any previous version of Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear!

I also reccommend The TOM CLANCY book called RAINBOW SIX. It is very good and if you haven't already played the FIRST Rainbow Six game, then read the book first!

Is this really by red storm!?

I own every rainbow six game. I am so so so disappointed, the textures in the game were old. Details were left out big time, I expected this to be the best on account of it being the newest, and probobly the last add on to rogue spear. And I know my guns big time, red storm paid no attention to making the guns real like. Basicly this was a last attempt to make more money, but it was worth it because it expanded th multiplayer possiblilities. I say if you like playing it online, go for it. But if you want something more than just covert ops, dont get it. I dont want to knock red storm down completely, but i play operation flashpoint. If you've played it, you would know what im talking about.

Boring...

This game continues with the great graphics that Red Storm has been consitant with, HOWEVER, I managed to finish this game in about 2 hours. The only challenge was the many "beat the clock" type scenarios.

BUT, if you never played any of the Rainbow Six collection, this is a must to get you started.

Get it and start wacking TANGO's left and right!

OK, and then what?

I am a seasoned RS (Rainbow Six/ Rogue Spear) player. I have bought every game in the series. Including this one. I didn't even download the Demo because I was expecting it to be brilliant. I must say, I Love ther RS series. (...) I could have made similar maps (the only real thing that changed) myself. Basically, if you know and love the RS series, wait until the price drops to get the maps. If this is your first introduction into the RS series. BUY IT NOW, then go buy the older ones if you liked it.
