Customer Reviews

Best with friends
I've always been a big fan of rainbow six and this game is no exception. It looks great and the controls are instinctive. The artificial intelligence is superb and the cover and shoot system work beautifully.Single player is pretty cool and controlling teammates is really easy ( point to position and tap A) but where this game comes into it's own is multi player campaign, for me playing with mates, working out strategies, covering each others backs and ultimately completing missions as a collective is simply awesome. Whether you,re fast roping out of a helicopter or rappelling down a building, it's done with style and is so satisfying. It's my favorite first person shooter, closely followed by call of duty 4( which needs multi player campaign). Go and buy it, it's cheap as hell.If you like it, there's rainbow six Vegas 2, not a massive step forward but good nevertheless.

THE BEST although online play gets glitchy
I've been waiting to get this game eversince it came out.
I basically bought a 360 just to play it.
Sure, I was a little biased:-)

The game would be a 12 in a scale of 0 to 10 if it wasn't for the problems with the multiplayer. When you're online you are likely to experience glitches and server problems.

My friend recently knew I was in a room because he saw my rifle miraculously appearing through a closed door (I was using a snake cam. He tried to frag me but I won in the end :-) )

All in all the game is very tactical (especially the multiplayer mode)
It is not as tactical as R63 - Raven Shield (People who played it know what I mean) but it still delivers best tactical shooting action ever!!!

What?
I can't believe all the buzz surrounding this game 'cos it's probably the most overrated game ever made. Rubbish
