Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Rogue Spear Platinum Pack is a super realistic first person shooter that offers an enjoyable and challenging gameplay experience.

Gameplay - Rogue Spear is based on the tactical combact team code named Rainbow. Team Rainbow is called upon by the government to deal with cases of terrorism throughout the world. You'll have to rescue hostages, bug phones, and more. To help you, the game offers many Rainbow operatives for you team, lots of weapons, and a bunch of gagets. The game also adds a strategy element and you'll have to take time picking out your gear, team, weapons, and planning the teams routes throughout the mission. One bullet kills in this game. The expansion pack, Urban Operations, which is also included, adds the element of innocent bystanders which requires even more strategy. After you go through the single player mode, the game offers an excellent multiplayer experience as well. The biggest gripe with the gameplay is the AI. Different terrorists in the game will sometimes run into walls or walk right by your team. Your teammates aren't much better either. Overall however, gameplay is first rate.

Gameplay - **** out of *****

Graphics - The graphics in the game are mixed. They can be great. The scenery is vibrant and colorful with excellent detail. The different people, your team, terrorists, and hostages all look good with detailed faces and clothing. On the other hand, the game has some major clipping problems. If you shoot a terrorist in a narrow hallway, his feet or head will go through a wall and out through the other side. Other times fallen enemies will hover a few feet above the ground. These issues should be addressed, but they are certainly not game killing.

Graphics - *** out of *****

Sound - Sound will play a vital role in the gameplay. You will have to listen for the footsteps of terrorists to know when it is safe to continue with your plan. If terrorists hear you, they'll scream for help and you'll hear people running back and forth. Windows shatter and bullets shells bounce off the ground with remarkable effects. Voice acting is decent when you learn about the upcoming mission. There is little music during the missions, but since hearing everything is so important it is understandable.

Sound - ****1/2 out of *****

Bottom Line - The Rogue Spear Platinum Pack is a great deal. Not only do you get the original Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Rogue Spear, but also Urban Operations and a strategy guide which covers both games. You really can't go wrong.

I have been playing computer games since computers were invented. This is my favorite game of all time. The realism is just amazing.

For the people who say the AI sucks, try it on elite. On normal and vetran, enemy AI is okay, but on eilte the terrorists are brilliant. They will flank you and try to come at you from both sides, so you have to be careful to always guard your back.

The bad guys are very good shots, but that keeps it interesting. It would be too easy if they weren't.

My suggestion is for people to look at the map in the planning stage, but only make a plan if multiple teams have to enter a single area from two locations at the same time (using a "go code"). Otherwise use the "U" key and have your team cover/snipe as required.

Have fun.

I have been a fan of first person shooters for a long time and Rouge Spear is, in my opinion, by far the most entertaining and overall best one out today. BE WARNED: This is not like other shooter games where you can run around a level shooting at anything that moves. Some of the levels might have only a few bad guys but will still take hours for you to accomplish your goals. Basically I would recommend this game to anyone who likes shooter games but would like to have them a little (or actually a lot) more realistic. For example in this game you cant run around a corner and see a bad guys and shoot him as he shoots you and hope his health runs out first. One shoot and your dead. In fact if you run into a room full of terrorist not only you but your entire team will be wiped out. The only thing wrong with this game is the multiplayer doesn't have a respawn so if you die in the multiplayer mode you have to wait until everyone else is done. This can be a pain especially when you first start to play the game and more experienced people pick you off 30 seconds into the match. Basically if you want a challanging game with great graphics and a more realistic twist then Rouge Spear is for you but if you want to run around and destroy things in either a multiplayer formatt or the single player I would skip this game and check out Unreal Tourny or Half Life.
