Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3

THE BAD:
~Replay value
~No split screen Multiplayer (MP)
~No co-op
~Mission objectives are repetitive

SUMMARY:
This game is part of a series called Rainbow 6. You are part of a team to neutralize all terrorist activity in the most professional way. The game brings you through many different locations, so that it doesn't have that same feel to it. Every thing in this game has been executioned well.

As you (Domingo/ Ding) you command a squad of three, four including your self. Your team members play a vital part in the game; as if they were not there you would find the game very difficult. Since you command your own team, Ubisoft thought it was essential that you could control their movements and tactics. This can be done by opening up a menu and commanding them to do a certain...

THE BAD:
The straightfowardness ( only one route to take )
The repetive AI
Only online multiplayer

SUMMARY:
Whew! Tom Clancy has outdone themselves. This game will have you glued to your sofa for weeks. This game has an elite squad, called Rainbow, to investigate the conflict of oil in Saudi Arabia. Gamers beware, they will not go down easily. 3 modes of difficulty ( easy, medium, hard ) and 14 levels of gameplay, you cannot go wrong with this purchase. Also, the multiplayer is the heart of this game. Sure enough, this comes enclosed with a free trial Xbox-Live card. Do yourself a favor, get Xbox-Live with this game. This is one of the best games Xbox has to offer ( shooter games at least ) and complete with Xbox-Live.
Frag an Clear, baby!!!

THE BAD:
There isn't much wrong with this game. Ragdoll effects can be a problem.

SUMMARY:
If you like action games you will be glued to your television while playing this game. Great graphics and an incredible story line will keep you interested for hours on end.

The object of this game is to stop a group of terrorists. You, Ding Chavez, and three other men need to work your way through 14 levels of action and stop the terrorists before something bad happens.

Many gun choices is a positive for this game along with grenades and even gas masks and grenade launchers. Ragdoll effects are used a lot in this game and the bodies will fall down in odd positions.

The online experience will keep you playing for weeks. Most games will bore you after awhile but this game has yet do so for me. This...

THE BAD:
no split screen- no co-op mode- lack of cheats to play around with

SUMMARY:
an awesome alt. to ghost recon. where that is slow, this game picks up the pace. awesome weapons and god like tactics make this a must have.

however i do wish there was a split screen mode like in ghost recon. other then that theres not much i can say to down the game.

i also wish there were some cool cheats to mess around with. there are two that are known of but i do wish there were more.

i didnt get the headset that you CAN use in this cause i didnt really see how it was nessesary for single player mode. all it really replaces is the action button anyway, but online i`m sure it has more use. i dont have Xbox live. but if i did....this game would become my life both online and off.

well worth the 50 bucks you shed to pick...

THE BAD:
/-\

SUMMARY:
The first time I played this game, I rented it. The game was amazing. I spent almost 4-6 hours playing thid lovely game. Now, I own it. Great game.

There are a few things that are bad about this game. One, no Co-Op. Thats basacially peoples only option if they dont have Xbox Live and want to play with friends. Two, you need your guys basically for the whole mission. If you lose two, your almost for sure to fail the mission and die. But, sometimes this isn't true. Three, the AI. Dont get me wrong, the AI is alright. But sometimes, the idiots dont shoot when you walk by.

The greatest part of this game is the graphics. My god, they are great. The levels are fully detailed. Just plain beautiful. Another is the controls. Easy to learn and use controls. Simply the best.

I recommend getting this game if you have an Xbox. One of the best action games out there. If...

THE BAD:
- Sometimes getting your team to do exactly what you want if difficult.

SUMMARY:
The only reason I got this game is because alot of the people I talk to from Neoseeker had it, so I thought I would buy Xbox Live and Rainbow Six 3...And I'm very glad I did.

I didn't really know what to expect from the game to be honest as it was mainly the online feature that I was intrested in, but the offline play is excellent aswell.

I didn't know that I would be ordering my team around, and it is a very nice feature that they've done a good job in. Sometimes though they do seem a little slow and don't clear the whole room properly.

The online play is also very good, you can choose from Survivor/Team Survivor/Co-op missions. The first two are pretty much what you would expect, but I was suprised how good the last one is....

THE BAD:
- No split-screen options
- Sometimes too difficult
- Lose at least two members of your team through each level
- Requires a lot of trial and error

SUMMARY:
People say this game is like Ghost Recon. That is Ghost Recon on steroids. It isn't. While Ghost Recon is about planning waypoints, R6:3 is about talking to your teammates. While GR is about split-screen, R6 is about system link. While GR is about rock-hard controls and dodgy graphics, R6 is about perfecting gaming to the point of making it an art form.
This game is so good on so many levels. The controls, graphics and sound are awesome. AWESOME!! Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell cower under this. Great game. No two ways about it.

THE BAD:
not found one problem yet.

SUMMARY:
This game is a must buy for all rainbow six fans or if you just want a good tactical shooter. really its go in shoot some guys chuck a few flash bangs blow a few doors apart and your good to go!! What really made me happy was that you get to command your team through the xbox live headset..that was fun..you can say GOGO to almost anything..also just openin doors and chucking stuff in was really kewl. there is no word in any language that can describwe how classy this game is!! its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FUN!!But...(this is a good but) when i went online with it........it blew me away!! so many options to choose for your gameplay and it was just pure 100% good...

THE BAD:

SUMMARY:
The 1 Player Game:

Take Ghost Recon, make it 3 times better and add Voice Recognition. You got Rainbow Six.

And it's the Voice Recognition that really makes the game. You can order your teammates around, you can tell them to defuse the bomb, open and clear the room, open and throw a grenade in. That's just a few of the commands. You can find them all in the Instruction Manual.
So if your not going to join the army this is the closest you can get.

Now. If you don't got a Voice Communicator, don't worry! You can still do the commands but it isn't that fun. If you look at the door you will see an icon. Press A and your squad will do what the icon means. (Icons are described in the Instruction Manual)

This game got 12 levels, from stealth missions where you can only use a handgun to killing missions where you can choose from the best weapons.
It's...

SUMMARY:
This is a somwehat unique game in the sense that it is Xbox LIVE compatible and you can command your squadmates in the camaign mode by voice. One of those does not work that well, and Xbox LIVE is not it. The only thing that redeems this game is the fact that it's Tom Clancy, and that is always good. This game is almost like Ghost Recon: Island Thunder, but it has some different and distinct qualities.
1) Stealth is very important. In Island Thunder you could blast your way through and do fine.
2) Its Online. This and SOFII:DH are the only really good Military Shooters and I have not seen anyone playing SOFII since the time I was on for 3 hours, and even then I didn't realize that I had to push the white button to...
