Rainbow Six, and its sequel Rouge Spear are the first games in a long time to give a good realstic FPS experience. (Seal team is the only other one that I know of, and thats far in the past). The game is played either from first person, or from a slightly behind and above third person view. You are a covert operative in the hidden organazation known as Rainbow.

In single player you must plan the missons every step of the way for every team. There are up to four teams, each of which may have up to four members. The planing is very difficult, and can take hours for each misson. The game supplies you with a plan for each misson which is workable, but not great. When the action actually comes you can either lead up one of the teams, switching between team leaders at any time, or view it as an observer giving the go commands. A very difficult, but rewarding experience. There are many training areas to get you ready for all aspects of the game, and a wonderful manual so you don't have to worry about not knowing how to do anything.

This game truly shines in multiplayer. There are numerous maps to choose from, and an extreme variety of weapons. It is very realistic, so one round to the chest or head that penatrates your armour is a death blow. Most rounds only last for a few minutes though, so you will be back in action in no time. There are many modes of play availible. You can use a sniper rifle on sniper only servers, or a fully automatic assault rifle to charge your opponents. The learning curve for online play is generally small once you learn the basics of movement, and weapons handling. You will need a very good connection to the internet though. 56k is a bit slow...and could get you booted from a server. If you have a line that can pull down 100k or more a second, you will be fine for sure.

Overall, a great game. Very difficult in single player, and truly rewarding in online play. This is my personal favorite online FPS. A must have for any fan of realism, military, and computer games. Be warned however, you will surely be up in to the wee hours of the morning.

Simply Awesome

As soon as I got this game I found myself playing it for hours. It has now been several months and I am still working it. The graphics and simulations are very real. I especially liked the mission aboard the Boeing 747. This game should be a "must have" for anyone who enjoys constant action in a game while narrowly cheating death.

Good game- Kind of bloody for the sensitive

This is a Great Game. It is a must buy for all those who bought the first one. It's got great gameplay and I really find the mission planer helpful. It runs very smoothly with no gliches. It is of course a little bit bloody.

This is incredible not only for the single play but also for the spectacular multiplayer mode. You may have trouble going back to single after a few rounds on the internet. This is a great action game that will leave you coming back for more. A great sequal to the 1st Rainbow Six. If your thinking of buying an action game for all ages, I reccomend you buy this one.

one the best...

I enjoy the first person shooter genre. There's nothing like resolving some tension by putting holes in stuff and maybe even blowing a few things up. However, I have to admit, some of the formulas out there have gotten a little worn out...

This is the new standard. Realistic, real-world situations and an arsenal that simply cannot be beat (+ tons of cool mods available, unparelleled mutliplayer and a "Lonewolf" setting when the need to be Rambo ensues). Yes, we can kick ass but it needs a little planning too.

Get this game!

Game of the year material

This game is the best. It has a wide variety of weapons andclothing for each mission. In each mission you have to either rescue ahostage(s) or you have to prevent something form happening. Each mission is harder than the one before it. You have to specially plan your mission and pick your men or women specifically. Some places may stump you but you have to look at everything closely. One level took me so long to beat but I discovered that the exit was right next to me all the time. This is a game you have to get. It also has excellent multiplayer. And with is free service of multiplaying. This surely makes Rougue Spear game of the year material. END

After I tried the demo, I don't want to buy the full version

The main purpose of demos is to allow people to try the games. It is intended to attract hardcore gamers to buy the full-version. Of course, demos must be stable and good in quality. Unfortunately, this is not the case for Rogue Spear.

I tried the demo twice and my system crashed twice. I guess that has already explained everything. How can I buy the full version if I am not impressed with the demo?

Although the graphics and sound effects are excellent, the game's stability is highly questionable. I know that there are so many positive reviews for this game, but there are several negative reviews too. Before you spend $40+ for this game, I recommend you to read the review on gamespot

First person sneaker, A clone of Thief The dark project. Sneak behind the bad guys and shoot them with a silencer, One flash bang weapon is just like the flash bomb in thief. The graphics and sound are good. The bad guys are very sharp shooters and just one shot is enough to get you down and you cant save the game in the middle of the mission. Single player gameplay is very difficult as you need atleast 4 persons to finish a mission.
