This game is terrible. The movement is difficult and cumbersome. Your team of elite soldiers are nothing more than bumbling idiots that manage to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They remind me of the Three Stooges as they constantly run back and forth into the line of fire. Mine as well as the terrorists! The missions are very linear and the maps don't allow for any exploration. I had to choose between this game and Ghost Recon Jungle Storm. I made the wrong choice. I would not reccommend this game to anyone.

asome game!!

This game is great, if you like squad based tactics, this is your game. Well worth the money.

One fun ride...

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.

Rainbow Six is back again.

I bought this game used at Game Stop for only $7.99, I'm glad I didn't pay too much for it. Don't get me wrong This is a good game, But only a few things are very frustrating... When you get towards the end of the game, there is a mission where you have to bug a terrorists phone without being seen. I'd rather just shoot them & forget them. Another thing, if one of your team mates dies in a mission, they somehow ressurect him for the next mission. WHAT"S UP WITH THAT?! Are rainbow six supermen now?! Anyway if you like first person shooters like me, buy it.

hope it lives up to the hype

i've had this game on xbox since it's release & it is fantastic. online. it's even better. the reason i preordered it for ps2 is due to the exclusive stuff for the ps2 version. off line split screen co-op, altered maps from the xbox version, a new map only on the ps2, & live enabled. as of now, it won't support as many as xbox on line. i've seen as many as 12 people in a room (team survival)6 on each team. terrorist hunt is my favorite on line. now matter how many times you do the same map over, it's still a challenge.

Lock N Load, Gentlemen...

Having been a fan of the PC-based Rainbow Six series, and seeing the dismal ports on PSX and N64, I was somewhat apprehensive about this title. However, I was pleasntly surprised. So, without further delay, here is my breakdown of this game.
CONCEPT: Lead a 4-man CT (counter-terrorism) team in a variety of missions, including sweep and clear, bomb disposal, and hostage rescue, with a WIDE selection of weapons and gear to assist you.
GRAPHICS: Weapon detail is excellent. You can actually "see" the "correct" way to reload the various rifles and pistols in the game. The night and thermal vision modes look very sweet and are actually very useful. Environments are great as well, although tangos look a bit redundant after a while (they either wear leisure suits or Hawaiian shirts. Kinda like blowing away John Travolta or Jimmy Buffett...).
SOUND: The weapon's sounds are very authentic. You can tell the difference between an M-4 and an AK-47, as well as the other weapons. Radio chatter amongst teammates is also a tad repetitive, as is tango voices (both living and dying). However, a nice feature is the ability to hear radio chatter only through the headset, which adds to the ambiance and realism (especially when playing alone). Environmental sounds are also very realistic.
CONTROLS: Not bad. Tends to be a bit frustrating at first, but you get the hang of it very quickly. Issueing team commands is good either with or without the headset, although without is a bit easier.
OVERALL: A good, solid combat/tactical sim worthy of the "Tom Clancy" title. I think that there are a few issues here and there, like not being able to pick your teammate's weapons and gear, or the sometimes dumb mistakes your teammates can make resulting in their injury or demise. Also, it would have been nice to be able to pick your team from a wider pool of operatives (like the PC versions). If you like this type of game, you will not be disappointed. Replay value is good, as trying missions over again with new weapons and tactics is a blast. Military/weapons buffs (like me) will enjoy the realism and there is no shortage of action for the the shooter-game junkies. OK. This concludes my pre-op briefing. Any questions? No? Then you have the green light for insertion. Good luck!

I am a big fan of both squad-based cambat, and open-world games. I have been searching for an experiance equal to the Ghost Recon series games for some time. Rainbow six 3 is not it. Absolutely not open-world at all, very linear. As a squad-based tactical shooter, I found it was sub-par. Since you are trapped in tight hallways the whole time, there is little use for the rest of your team, other than when entering a room with multiple doors. Then the "Frag and Breech" commands are fairly interesting. But for the most-part, you are ducking and shooting around corners. I got bored with that pretty quickly. For squad-based shooters; go with Ghost Recon. For open-world, go with Mercenaries.
I played R 6 3 for a few nights before trading it in at Gamestop.

bad.

They say this is a fun game. I got this game since it was ten bucks and it was christmas. I'll get to the point.

GRAPHICS

Screw em. They're terrible. They're like cardboard cutouts.

GUNS

Screw em. They have the worst graphics ever.

MAPS

The only good thing about it. Big. And you can get lost too. And the enemies are impossible. They kill you the first time in training.

Over all this game sucks terribly. Hate it and don't get it. I'm lucky I only payed ten bucks. ONE STAR.
