Rainbow Six Gold combines Red Storm's original game Rainbow Six (winner of PC Gamer's "Best Action Game of 1999" award) with a strategy guide and an additional program, Mission Pack Eagle.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is a classic Clancy-style story where you lead an elite multinational task force battling international terrorism in highly realistic settings. Game play is organized around a series of missions in which you must plan and execute precise assaults on terrorist installations.

And unlike other games, if you make a mistake, you're gone--because in the real world, one shot counts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game, June 13, 2001

This review is from: Duplicate of B00002STNP -- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Gold - duplicate (CD-ROM)

I've been playing games online now for about two years and this game has me hooked! I just recently bought it based on how many people I saw playing it online, hundreds sometimes over one thousand! For twenty bucks you can't go wrong. You may be thinking "I've played Quake whats the point of another first person shoot em up?" This is a whole different experience than other shoot up games. First of all if you get shot dead...your dead! Theres no second chance, you have to start the game over, or in multiplayer you have to wait until everyone else is killed. This may be annoying at first when your as green as the grass but once you get the hang of it you'll appreciate it. Second- You can play co-op games with friends on your side against the computer controlled enemies in missions. They even allow you to talk to your teammates with a voice program. This is much better than trying to type commands or recomendations when you're hub deep in enemy fire. All in all you can't beat it for $20.00. You get the Rainbow Six CD, Eagle Watch CD and a big book telling you what to do! They also have many more games in the series you can buy, but I believe this was the first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and realistic, with minor drawbacks, April 24, 2001

This review is from: Duplicate of B00002STNP -- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Gold - duplicate (CD-ROM)

I purchased Rainbow Six because I wanted to get away from the strategy genre (my favorite) and play some realistic shoot-em-up games. I didn't realize how realistic a game this would be. The graphics are good, the plotlines strong, and the reality just incredible! From the locations, to the weapons, gear, movement, and even the way bodies react when shot... wow!

The only drawbacks to this game are the strange inconsistencies in the artificial intelligence. Sometimes the AI goes berzerk and teams that you do not control begin acting like lost 6 year olds. There are also times, when playing against the computer, that you feel like you are cheating -- it is relatively easy to get into position and pick off enemy targets one by one because they do not react to each other's deaths.

I feel that the true potential of this game is achieved when playing multiplayer situations, when you eliminate the AI inconsistencies. A worthwile purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rainbow 6 is #1, March 2, 2003

OK, I bet you are thinking this is your average game that you blast away and kill people, but this game requiers stratagy and a fast trigger finger. It is also very challaging. This is the best anti-terrorist game I ever played. (I admit I never played any other R6 games, but this is the one you want to buy first.) R6 is so cool that I am going to buy other R6 games after I beat both R6 & Eaglewatch. This game has great graphics and alwsome gameplay. This is so realistic that sometimes I get so caught up in it that I feel like I am there. You get to pick a whole lot of REAL guns and equipment. This game includes the original R6, R6 Eaglewatch (an extended version of R6), & the R6 Stratagy guide. This guide is VERY helpful and covers R6 & Eaglewatch.

What can this game improve on?

1. Better teamwork. You have to lead a team of computer players into a danger zone and sometimes they get chicken and run or they keep running into the wall.
2. If you can't open a door or you take the wrong path sometimes you can't turn around because your team is all around you and they don't move.
3. When you rescue hostages (CPS) and you have to lead them up or down a ladder, sometimes they just stand there and get shot.
4. If the person leading the team gets shot going around a turn the team (CPS) needs to throw a granade or flash bang in or don't enter the room, but NO they go in one by one and get shot. So in other words, MORE INTELIGENT COMPUTER PLAYERS!

Thats my opinion and I hope you buy this game because even though it has glitches (what game doesn't?) it is da bomb.
