4.0 out of 5 stars Simply Awesome!
This game is AWESOME. You actually feel like you're on an elite special forces team. The creators did a great job of not only incorporating authentic weapons but also the distinct sounds each weapon makes when fired. One of the few games that is realistic as oppose to going up against alien monsters that have special powers or nine lives. However, the creators...

2.0 out of 5 stars Rainbow Six.......Medal of Honor wanna be!
This game was pretty terrible. Controling and aiming the guns were terrible. Graphics were poor at best, and the most bothersome thing was when your fellow personell or hostages were to follow you, you couldn't back track. They won;t let you pass beyond them. Go get Medal of Honor, way better game play. Rainbow six was boring, and plain out annoying to play. Good...

This game is AWESOME. You actually feel like you're on an elite special forces team. The creators did a great job of not only incorporating authentic weapons but also the distinct sounds each weapon makes when fired. One of the few games that is realistic as oppose to going up against alien monsters that have special powers or nine lives. However, the creators could have made it a two player co-op option where you and a partner can be on the same team working together. But that's just one negative as oppose to many positives this game has to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real World Training on the Screen, January 28, 2000

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Video Game)
I was recently in Denmark playing this game with a bunch of my friends who are in the Danish Military and claimed it's the closest thing you get to the real world training. When someone is shot (in the knee), that specific knee buckles or if you shoot someone in the head, they drop like a dead fly. Of course the looks of the buildings and terrorits are going to be ugly, think of the real world. Think of the building in Kosovo or in the USSR during the Arms Race in the Cold War. The selection of weapons is right on. They look, act, feel, fire, and sound just like the real gun in real life. My friends in Denmark have personal experience with these guns in the Military. We'd play the same mission over and over again and still couldn't beat it... Even on the beginner level. If you know anything about war, military, guns, or strategy on terrorits, this game is for you. If you don't like real world games, go play Half-Life with you computer nerd friends.

THis game is awsome. The whole point of the game makes it fun. You can pick from a huge selection of weapons and other "007" lookalike gadgets. The game isn`t too hard to beat but its fun. I HIGHLY recommend this game

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Video Game)
I think this was a very cool game. Its one of the best games I ever played. Me and my friend had a wicked time playing it. It has pretty good graphics and the sound quality is great too. The action in it is so good that you almost feel like you are really there. If you like action games then I would say that this is the one for you.

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Video Game)
Rainbow Six is simply the best game in the world. It requires patience as much as skill. You can't have an itchy trigger finger. However you can have a lot of fun because in this game you do it all. You plan the mission, review the info, equip the team(s), and pick your opperatives. The weapons sound so relistic (I love to pump the sound to scare my brother away). The effects are real to... if you shoot a guy in the arm he's gonna hurt but he's not going to roal over and say uncle. The flashbang is awsome try throwing one in front of you, let it blow, and watch the effect of what looks like a room painted by a hippi. If you loved the the PC hit or the game Goldeneye for Nintendo 64... U MUST TRY THIS GAME!

Not nearly as good as the PC version. I suggest you just buy the PC version if you have a computer and if not rent the game first. Just make sure you play the game first and know what it is like before you buy it.

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Video Game)
Rainbow Six for the computer was a totally cool game. Now that it is a video game it is great. The action in this game is intense and and missions are so good. The story line to this game is great and i know anyone who liked GoldenEye would totally love this game, i do. And 2 player action is very good. There is no bad points to this game except how adictive it is.

2.0 out of 5 stars the only thing good about this game is the planning, September 18, 2000
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Video Game)
This game is horrible. The only thing I liked about it is the realism of the planning mode. For those of you that don't know, in this game you must plan your missions, everything including who you bring along with you, what weapons they carry, what type of body armor they wear, etc.

Everything is realistic which helped me alot with writing my book. But other than that it isn't worth buying.

It is very hard to control the players. You are given the first person perspective. It is hard to tell what direction you're facing and where your enemies are with this type of view. It also makes you dizzy when you look around because the entire screen is moving.

But the thing I hate most is the way they made it for one player. Since you bring three people with you on your missions it only makes sence that each member be controled by a real person. Instead you must control what all three people do at the same time. As well, you must control what hostages do too.

And speaking of hostages, when you find them they can be really annoying because they follow close behind you, making it difficult to turn around and go back the other way if you accidentally take the wrong path.

I recommend you buy this game for computer but not the Play Station.

PS. Please read my other reviews.
