Every gaming site gave this game average scores but when you read the review it's only because it wasn't like the old Rainbow games. Well I got to see the game on the Xbox and no it's not like the older Rainbow games it's better. The graphics are Splinter Cell and the same with the sound but more louder. SO if you liked Splinter Cells graphics this will be fine same with sound. Gameplay along with level design is well done. I read the Gamecube version will have more features then the other systems along with levels which makes this the best one to buy. I would reccomend checking this out if you like shooters but if you don't like being in heavy action forget this game because it comes loaded with all the action you would need. Just think of this game and how it looked on the Xbox??? now on the Gamecube. Their will be a major diffrence on the good side.

Your better-than-average first person shooter game

This came compares largely with Medal of Honor for Gamecube: the controls, framerate, and style all mirror each other. This game puts you in control of a counter-terrorist organization who is responsible for ridding the world of fear, associated with terrorism.

It takes a while to catch onto the controls and setup, but once mastered, this game proves to be a worthy buy.

007 Nightfire (for Gamecube) has more fluid gameplay, but with the trade-off of realism. Rainbow Six's framerate is solid, but less than Nightfire's. The realism; however, is unparalleled. You will not find a more realistic game than this.

This is definitly a game to look into, probably renting first, and later purchasing.

Great Game!

Ive always been a die-hard Rainbow six fan. When I heard that it was coming out for the gamecube, I got it the first day it came out. it was way better then the other Rainbow Six games.

Graphics-9\10
Sound-8\10
Replay Value-10\10

Overall-I highly Recommend this game!

Amazing. Enough said.

Rainbow Six 3 is simply one of the best games out there for the Gamecube - extremely fun AND re-playable, Six 3 has amazing gameplay, controls and a realism that will make you want to keep playing hours on end.

GRAPHICS - phenomenal; not "blocky" in the slightest sense, and crafted with a loving attention to detail. Every scenario is smooth and refreshingly unique as a result (making gameplay so much better!!) thus giving the game an excellent sense of realism. You feel like you're actually there and not sitting in front of the TV playing a game - try the Alcatraz or Penthouse levels to see what I mean!!

MISSIONS and GAMEPLAY - Highly re-playable; I've completed it on various difficulty settings and am still taken by surprise at how fresh all the levels seem. This is because Six 3 has a very good variety of scenarios (you fight in different geographical locations such as Venezuela, Saudia Arabia or San Fransisco) AND a consistent storyline. You are the leader of a squad and it's therefore in your best interest to keep you men alive - and they're great at covering you in a tight situation. The command orders are not hard to use and the "zulu function" - whereby you can make a team wait before breaching/entering a room - is ingenious, and therefore your Rainbow team members become assets, not people who get in the way of combat.

MUSIC AND SOUND- Perfect. I used to study film score composition and this is an excellent piece of writing for the game; it comes on in crucial moments and can really make chills go up your spine. All the right gun sounds have been used, the explosions are fun and the sound of the enemy is crucial in detecting them. Again, excellent realism.

GUNS + EQUIPMENT - You have an amazing arsenal of weapons to choose from, and each fire realistically. For example, your shotgun is satisfyingly effective at short ranges but can't hit a barn door for longer distances, whilst the assault rifles really do rip into the enemy they get hit. Thermal vision acts like it does in real life as does night vision - from teargas, phosphorus grenades and Desert Eagles you have everything at your disposal, and you will get to use it all during the game!

So as you can probably see Rainbow Six 3 is A MUST HAVE - you haven't lived a true Gamecube experience without playing this. It's fantastic in almost every aspect of it's gameplay, controls and scenarios and provides for many hours of great entertainment.
Buy it, and you'll see what I mean ;)

This a really fun game! The graphics are good, and the action is always there. Even replaying levels that you've played many times, you will always be on the edge of your seat. The many weapon selections gives the same level a new twist each time you play it. If you love action, I highly recommend Rainbow six 3!

Rainbow Six 3 - for the PS2 sucks

After reading the previous raving reviews, I had to doublecheck my package to make sure we're all talking about the same game. Sure enough, we are. I can only surmise that the previous reviewers are either not looking at the PS2 version (poor Game Cubers)or have not played the vastly surperior SOCOM I or II.

So, when compared to SOCOM II:

GRAPHICS
Rainbow Six 3 (R63) graphics are choppy and poorly defined/detailed. The lighting effects are non-existent and - worst of all - there's just no character to the houses, landscapes, or levels. It's all about the ugly at UBISOFT, kids.

GAMEPLAY/USER INTERFACE
Well, R63 has team commands, but they lack the detail or functionality of SOCOM. The player CAN NOT easily order members to one area while flanking the enemy. Opening/breaching doorways and clearing rooms is a chore in Rainbow, while SOCOM offers various means and levels of participation (2, 3, or 4 man clearing with or without explosives). Moreover, there's not even a map to look at - what's up with that? You're going to stroll into combat and forget the map? Me thinks not.

Yet, this minor point underlies a litany of interface problems: poor weapon selection interface, poor weapons to choose from, weak voice acting, sub-standard team chatter, and no 3rd-person views.

I haven't teed up on the online play because - quite frankly - Rainbox Six 3 couldn't hold my interest that long.

There's a reason this game is in the bargain bin at every store; Six just Suxs.

is there a sniper rifle in this game?

the "good" review

im not being snotty by saying the good review, im just rating the GAMECUB version not the ps2 or somthing.

r63 is a great game with tight controls and fun gameplay.

GamePLAy- r63 gameplay is outstanding. if your someone looking for a insanely tactical game, its right here.
the controls are nice and it is easy to select a weapon with there quike select thing. the aiming is persise and even newbies to fps's and or tactical games can still have fun. the game has a tutorial to help you figure out how to run the game. after that you should be having a great time.
if u beat the game the re-playability is huge HUGE!!!!! you can re-play all the missions with a friend in co-op or by yourself. u can play the whole mission or terrist hunt (self explanitory)

Graphics- grphically this game can be disipointing. it tries to do what the x-box did but did not come over so smooth. grphics are not as good and a little blocky at times. the framerate suffers a bit but it helps u aim at times (what>??????) but otherwise there are som nifty cool things you can do in the game like look at your shadow with there dynamic lighting and so forth.

overall...

(note* i use faces to determine the score)
GAMEPLAY- fun exiting tactical fun {^_^}/[^_^}(thats the best score on the right its like having 8/10 or 3/5 but i desided to use faces out of the best faces...)

graphics-somewhat disipointing but there passible =(/{^_^}

sound- its cool B)/{^_^}
