Customer Reviews

Only Ok.
i bought this game back in january as i had played a good while before on the pc and thought that it was at a good price. when i started playin it i noticed it was very bright compared to other shooters. the graphics were only of average after having bought call of duty 4 a couple of weeks before hand. the cover system in this game is excellent, where a button is pressed to hug on the wall. you gan then shoot around corners or poke out and pick the enemies off. the ability to look under doors is also a good thing as it allows you to check the room for enemies and set up high rioirty targets for elimination first, such as hostage holders. you can enter a room by many doorsalot of the time so you can send your buddys in 1 way and suprice them by coming in a different way yourself. overall this game is a bit of fun but its outdated graphics and gameplay only give this game a 3* from me. i would not reccomend you buy this game unless its at a bargain cause it also has a sequel out now, rainbow six vegas 2.

Awesome!
Bad Points:
1. Hard to see the enemies as they blend in with every environment so sometimes you have to wait for them to shoot you so you can see where the shots are coming from before you get them
2. The first level in Mexico is really boring and open spaced which makes it difficult for a shooter in which a few shots kill you
3. Online play is rubbish (stick to COD4)
4. There is no sprint button so its difficult to run to cover without getting hit
5. If your teammates get put out of action you can heal them but if it happens to you, you have to restart from the last checkpoint

Good Points:
1. Its difficult so you will be forced into using the skills needed to complete the game which you will quickly learn to enjoy
2. Covering behind walls and being able to shoot over and around them, even without looking by waving you gun around the corner and pulling the trigger
3. Instructing your two team mates to go into areas where you feel you may die
4. Good choice of weapons, which look really good when fitted with a silencer and a 6X zoom scope
5. Awesome story line with good voice actors
6. Cool locations to kill terrorists (apart from Mexico)
7. Co-op story mode is good fun and gives you the chance to plan proper strategies
8. A cheat which lets you change the view to 3rd person can be extremely helpful
9. A "snake cam" which you put through the bottom of a door which lets you see exactly who is in a room which will help you plan your assault

Huge Dissapointment
I gave this game one star as i cannot give it 0. I refused to buy this game as I was not a huge fan of the Tom Clancy games previously however Rainbox Six (first one) was a great game. After all the hype i gave in and rented it for a week and I was right not to buy it. The guns look terrible and do not sound realistic. If you want a great first person shooter then I advise you to buy Call of Duty 4. It will be around for years that game and is legendary already.
