With Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, you can't go wrong.

This is an excellent game. The graphics, while not the best, are great. Since the graphics do not have super high detail,there is no drop in framerates during gameplay (like in GoldenEye when many "bad guys" were on the screen). Although there are only 12 levels, there are three difficulty levels and don't forget the 2 player co-op mode. The game does lack a deathmatch, but if you and your friends want to kill each other that bad, you can split up in the level and then hunt down each other. This is, by far, the most realistic game for the Nintendo 64. Usually, one shot will kill the terrorist and one shot from the terrorist will kill you. (This depends where you are hit/where you hit the terrorist, and the distance between you and the terrorist.) The AI (Artificial Intelligence) is excellent. Believe me, if you just go around shooting wildly, the terrorists will hear your shots and you will be killed. Much strategy is involved in this game. And, you don't just go into a mission, you can plan where your teams will infiltrate the building, who they will kill, etc. The lack of cut scenes is suprising, but does not damage the overall score of the game. And, for the non-blood fans, you can turn the blood on/off. The controls are outstanding, identical to those in Turok (move with the c-buttons and aim with the joystick). The weapons are all realistic and realistic sounding,(for example, if you shoot a wall with a silenced gun at close range, you will hear the sound of wood splintering, but if you shoot a wall from far away, you hear nothing). All and all, this game is magnificent. If you enjoy first person shooter/strategy games, this is a must buy (or a must rent if you can't buy it). You will not regret owning Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

Greatest Ever!

Rainbow Six for N64 is without a doubt the best game that any fan of the action/stratgey genre could ever buy. Great gameplay combined with great graphics and a really intricate story line make Rainbow Six a must have for any action fan.

The best game since Goldeneye.

I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A GAME SO GREAT. IT IS BETTER THEN GOLDENEYE AND ALL OTHER N64 ACTION GAMES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO LIKES GOLDENEYE TO GET THIS GAME. YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED.

If you love action.....Rainbow Six is the way to go!

Sure "Rainbow Six" is a corny name, but that does not at all describe the fast-paced realistic action that was put together in the best video game ever. For the past couple of years I have been satisfied with Goldeneye 007, thinking it was the best game for N64. But once I played this it was left in a distant second! The graphics are great and realism makes it numero uno!

the most realistic n64 game ever

If you like realism, combined with intense terrorist busting action, this is defenently the game for you. the most realistic part of the game is when you get shot, it dosen't take 15,0000000.. and on and on--shots to kill you, once you're shot, you're shot. another thing thats so much more realistic, is the AI(artificial intelligence) of the operatives and the tangos (terrorists). for instance, I was in one stage, were I was supposed to rely totally on stealth and skill,and I accidentally shot my machine gun, and the guard came to check it out. this game consists of 12 heartpounding missions that include 10 from the original and 2 from the expansion. the mission objectives cosist of hostage rescues(mostly) and bomb threats, and international incidents. One of the best parts about it is the unbelievable graphics of the game, far better than goldeneye, and the fact that they actually got the licence this time to get the real names of the guns used, unlike goldeneyes ppk, or there cougar magnum, or their blocky characters. where as rainbow six has very smooth graphics , and very rounded bodies, and the most realistic real world locations, and real time lighting effects on characters and in the worlds. the very best part of the game, besides all of the stuff that i've already said , is the 2 player co-op mode, so if you get board of the game-which you probably won't-you can always have a friend over to play to. I know i've played the pc version, and ive beatten the game in all three settings , and on the 64 version, I can't even get past the second level in elite- and i bet you'll have a tough time to. but thats enogh of that. so to sum it up, i'd just like to say that this game is awesome, and to that guy who says that this game stinks, you're obviously a playstation fan who dosen't know a good game when he plays one , and obviously hasn't played the playstation version, (which i do not recommend for even the most avid playstation fan). anyway , this game is the best game for the n64, and I would definently recommend it. TRUST ME! THIS GAME IS UNBELEIVABLE. BUY IT OR PLAY IT WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE.

Great Game, but buy the PC version

1 word...Great! It's a good game, and a lot of action, planning, options(like choosing your operatives, weapons, camoflauge, and gear), yet it still wasnt the same compared to the PC version. The idea is the same as the PC one, with the planning phase and action phase(3D world), so of course, its a good game. But if you own the PC version, dont waste your money so you can play multiplayer. Otherwise, if you don't have the PC versions, GO FOR IT! its great...

This is the best Game

Rainbow six is the best game I have ever played. It has a perfect combonation of action and strategy. It is also a very original game. I have never played a game quite like it. If you read the book, than you will love the game. You can probably play this game for hours and not get bored. It is also really fun to play, though it is really hard. The Multi-Player is also pretty cool. You can Select any mission in the game, any gun, and play with another person. You can play cooperative, or deathmatch. You should definately buy this game.

Sweet game with of an o.k. replay value

RB6(RainBow 6) is by far the most realisitc n64 to date. It combones action with strategy on a level that surpasses Goldeneye. The AI in the game is so great in one mission I had to use stealth to hack into a computer, So I'm waiting behind a door and when a terroists past it I opend the door to soon, he turned and took one shot, I died. The game mixes up your battle objectives You difuse bombs, hack, save hostages. It is entertaining to have your 'blue' team complete your mission and you just go on killing spress. The weaponry is so cool I perfer the shoutgun cause it has so much power but in some missions I had to take a silnced rifle. The only bad part is the replay value the game took me a day to beat so now the only thing to do is play missions over and over agin it is fun 4 awhile creating new sort of senarios but gets boring playing the few best missions over and over agin. The game swayed from the book which was good and bad. Why it was good: I fell more complete playing the game after I finshed the book Bad: It get's kinda confusing cause the group names. That's about it by this game used if possible

A superb game with excellent graphics. This is not a 'shoot them up' indiscriminate game. You have to have stealth, and stratergies to win. You are always the good guys. It's like you're a real person,the graphics are excellent and if you get shot, you're down. You either kill the terrorist or you get killed. Two thumbs up!
