Not as good as other reviews say

I understand why most people gave this game a good review, it deserves it, but perhaps the wrong words were used to make this game sound great. I think you should buy it if you own an N64 knowing this first.
First off where way beyond that generation of video games so no graphic delights.
Secondly althought the gameplay and optional strategy take makes for many ways to complete each level, the game is short. 12 missions in 1-3 days depending on how much you play (thats on level Hard)
Thirdly there are alot of other games that you should consider first, like Turok 2 or Golden Eye, (which Rainbow Six does rank lower than)
Fourthly the replay value is not as bad as others would say but its nothing you'll find yourself wanting to redo over and over again. Turok 2 is one of those games.
But don't be shy of this game, one hit kills (for you that is) makes this a realistic game in most parts. If you have an N64 and don't want to spend 50 dollars on the new and hot games, try this one out it is worth the shot.

Fun but hard to control

I think many games are hard to control, maybe it is just me. I like this game because of the weapons and that them enemies are easy to kill. THe bad thing about this game is just you need to be supplied just a little more ammo. The graphics are in beetween a super nintendo and a Ps1. I think they could have been much better graphics. I like in the game when you shoot someone you say "bullseye" or something else. Like I said, it is very hard to control, but the enemies are easy. I think this game is more like a swat game than an army game.

Good,I think its MUCH better than the PS1 version

Any shooter games that came out on Nintendo 64 were always compared to 007 Goldeneye.
Rainbow Six for the N64,while not as good as the PC version definately kicked the PS1 versions azz in both graphics and gameplay due to the fact that the N64 controller is actually suited to shooter games-same thing with the XBox/XBox 360,i`ve seen many people easily enough adapt from the N64 controller to the XB controller.
Not many people play N64 or PS1 now.

RECOMMENDATION:

IF plan on ever getting this game buy it with the well know 007 GoldenEye and you will have 2 great games,thats if you only hav an N64(well you won`t nowwadays as XB,P2N & GC have rule on the games market) But if you have a PS1 aswell i recommend all three S games(Shooter,straredy& stealth).games without too much Sci-Fi or too futuristic settings)

007 GoldenEye
RainBow 6
Metal Gear Solid
Medal Of Honor
(MGS has a small amount of sci-fi in it ,i.e. exoskelton suit)

bye........

The reality for a N64 game astonished me, however the requirement for a memory pak on the controller is the price. This is a game for people with patients and an enjoyment of planning and strategizing... and not being bothered by failure. The Multi-Player feature is a godsend on those harder levels.

Rainbow Six: SO real, SO COOL!!!

this is a cool game because its not like 007,once your shot,your dead,lol

you can plan your attacks,fight and kill tangos,and save hostiges,
what stinks though is that this game hard to find,because GAME CUBE and ps2 are taking over,i got mine at the mall for 24.99 used and it is worth EVERY penny,buttom line if you like a game that will keep you playing intellyou beat the game,if you like stratigising your moves,or just start fighting,this is a game for you,also you have a multi-player co-op which means they can be picking the locks,and you could be going in and killing tangos,

also for thoughs non-blood fans,you can turn blood off,this is a cool game that will have you hoked!

jeff {rainbow-killer,elite member,yes i have beat the elite mode,it was SUPER hard}

cool

Rainbow Six is highly unique - while it is played from a first-person perspective, and your character does have a gun, it is not exactly what would be classified as a "first-person shooter." What's Rainbow Six's hook? Strategy.
In R6, you lead a team of profesional soldiers into the lairs of terrorists where you'll free hostages, diffuse bombs, and accomplish other delicate military tasks. What's unique about this game is that you can plan the mission in advance - a detailed map of the entire level is available, and you can set waypoints, where you can move your operatives to and have them perform various actions. This means while you and your backup are charging into the front of the building, your other team (controlled by either the computer in one-player mode or a friend in two-player mode) can be picking the backdoor lock or picking off snipers.
Control is tight, intuitive, and accurate. The default configuration is impeccable, and each option is both well placed and easily memorable - qualities that were sorely lacking in the PlayStation version. While just about every button has a function, it is not in the least confusing, and immersion is instant.
The graphics certainly do the job - realism is the order of the day, and Saffire went for just that. If you're looking for anything fanciful or artistic, look elsewhere. This is a military simulation, and it emulates the real world. The levels are expansive but not excessive. Everything has a striking tinge of realism. There is background info on the characters - lifted directly from the Clancy novel from which the game takes its name. There is also detailed information on each mission, the players, the factors, and the events that lead to the crisis you are trying to resolve. While you don't have to read this information (and, in fact, the game has a quick-start option that lets you skip the planning mode entirely and jump into the skin of a Rainbow Sixer), details like this are what set this game apart from the pack.

id rather read a clancy novel than play this again

horrible graphics, bad controls, annoying guy in your ear saying "no tangos in site" It took me about 30 minutes to beat on the hard difficulty level. I bought it back when it cost 70 bucks, plus i thought i had to buy a control pack to save a game. You dont need to save a game, because if you cant beat it in one sitting you shouldnt be play video games. Go out and buy a ps2 and play some real games (n64 is dead)

RainBlow 6...

...This is by far the worst N64 game I have ever played...

Graphics are horrible. Controls are clunky. Sounds are so-so. Dumb map stays onscreen and there is no feature to remove the navigational map which causes distractions. Low replay value, what replay value? I played for about 15 minutes and haven't picked it up since then.

Keep your money and spend it on something else, save yourself from wasting your money and time on this game.
