Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The year is 2007, and the world stands on the brink of a terrifying global conflict. As the United States is caught in an embargo-induced oil crisis, terrorist attacks against American interests--and citizens--escalate. Venezuela, which still supplies the United States with oil, also becomes a target. As unrest grows in America, protests rock the streets of Caracas. And while the shadow of terror looms, madmen plot even greater acts of murder and destruction. No place is safe, no border secure in this hour of fear.

Only one thing stands between the world and the threats that now face it: Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism in all its forms. A top-secret organization consisting of the best field operatives the United Nations has to offer, Rainbow is the most potent weapon in the world's arsenal. Backed by the most sophisticated technology available and trained to the limits of human capability, they are our best hope in the war against terror.

They may also be our last.

Features:

• Epic story: An all-new storyline consisting of 15 challenging missions will keep gamers on the edge of their seats. Best Tom Clancy game story to date!
• State-of-the-art game engine: intelligent AI, easy controls, and stunning graphics will make Rainbow Six 3 one of the best action games of all time.
• Best of the best: one elite team, four tough members, each with a specific look and personality.
• Unsurpassed multiplayer: team up with a friend in intense split-screen cooperative missions, or battle head-to-head against opponents in action-packed online battles.
• High production values: watch the story and characters come alive in high-quality cinematics that immerse the player in the world of Team Rainbow.
• Groundbreaking voice order system: issue orders to your AI teammates using over 80 voice commands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. Enough said., November 21, 2004

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Rainbow Six 3 (Video Game)

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 ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Game Made Greater!!!, April 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rainbow Six 3 (Video Game)

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.
