4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I expected, but still satisfying., November 8, 2001

When I first heard about "Black Thorn" I'll admit I was pretty excited, especially after hearing so many good predictions. Buying the game when it came out was on the top of my list, and sure enough that is what I did. Well now I'm sure you are just dying to know my opinion aren't you? :O) I'll begin with the negative points, first off the single player missions are not incredibly challenging despite a few brain teasing moments. It took me less than a week to knock off all of it's nine missions, if I had more time to myself it might of been a lot shorter. Also, it's thirty dollar price tag is a little steep, even if it is a stand alone mission pack. On the plus side of things, the nine missions this game provides are in some very impressive environments both size wise and graphical wise. Not only that, most of these missions prove themselves to have a high replayablity factor in both normal and special (terrorist hunt, lone wolf etc.) modes. Some new weapons have been introduced for all you single player lovers out there, including the impressive 7.62mm SSG3000 SR Sniper Rifle and the 5.7mm P90 SMG sub machine gun which is a personal favorite of mine. Multi-player fans will love some of the new weapons that have been added just for them such as the 5.56mm M82 AR assault rifle and the impressive 9mm SPP Pistol. The storyline is not so bad itself either and was pretty well thought out, but don't worry I won't give it away. So while this game is a little pricey, any Rainbow fan can't be without this overall impressive mission pack.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring..., December 31, 2001

This review is from: Rogue Spear Black Thorn (CD-ROM)

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!

More of the same, nuthin' new really. A few new weapons, no new unis, 9 new maps. Really, the Rogue Spear franchise has grown tired and this is a last gasp effort to pull in some green before Ghost Recon leaves Rogue Spear in the dust.
