Rainbow 6 was a prime example of what a great game should be. Rogue Spear takes it one step farther. Simply put, Rogue Spear is the best combination of a first-person shooter and a real-time strategy game ever made. It is the best hybrid game I've ever played. This is definitely worth your money. So quit wasting time reading this review and go buy it!

Rogue rocks

I downloaded the demo and was really impressed. Your team can act indipendant of your controls. It is very intense at the harder settings. You can only get shot 1 or 2 times before you die, and the bad guys know when to duck!

Rogue Spear - The Most Realistic Shooter Ever!

I have had Rogue Spear for about 2 months now. And the best word you can use to describe it is REALISTIC. If you have ever played RAINBOW SIX (the game Rogue Spear continues from), you already have an idea of how awesome it is. But Rogue Spear is not what RAINBOW SIX was... it is much better. You are a counter terrorism team assigned to rescue hostages and successfully complete objectives in full-detail 3-D worlds. And the terrorists are not stupid. They will act to your every move, they will hide to ambush you, duck your shots, shout things at you, and take cover when they need to reload their guns. You can play missions during the day, night, or even with weather effects such as snow, fog, and rain! All of these things add to how realistic the game is. You can play over the internet in multiplayer mode with up to 16 people playing at a time! With so many weapons to choose from (frag grenades, smoke grenades, heart beat sensors, flashbangs, and more) you will be playing multiplayer over and over again. Multiplayer mode is so realistic, that when you hear a gun being fired, you can tell what gun it is. When you see a gun in someones hand, you can tell what gun it is. Frag grenades make more noise than ever in this unbelievable game! You can talk to people on your team in multiplayer mode using the BOUND KEYS that can be specified in your "OPTIONS" section of Rogue Spear. Order your team-mates to get down, take cover, cover your back, use a frag grenade, retreat, and much much more. No first person shooter even compares to Rogue Spear. Not even Goldeneye 007 (popular game for Nintendo 64). Rogue Spear is so real and addictive, like Red Storm Entertainment states on the back of the box, you will be shouting "tango down!" in your sleep for weeks! Don't wait... buy this game!

I played this game and it ROCKS...really.. Never imagined that Bug-filled R6 could be so entertaining and COOL than ever..

It's the coolest and I want to have it for myself. Best Present for incoming Millenium..

Falls short due to lack of content

Rainbow six is an impressive and awe inspiring game. It is fun to play and very addicting. However this module has a limited number of senarios and the time to cost benefit is minimal. If you liked rainbow six this is a must have. But there should ahve been more content. Treuly the scenery is magnificent, but who buys a game for scenery. I would like to see more missions and more varity. It pales next to the orignal

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

Help! I'm addicted! Can't stop playing this game!

This game is the best real life simulation combat game I've played (well not 100% realistic but it's as close as it gets, i guess). Actually it's the best game I've played, period. I tried Rainbow 6 once but didn't like it: too complex and took too much time to plan and set up a mission. This one is awesome: missions are already planned and all you have to do (if you want) is just plunge in the action. On the other hand if you like you can reject the default plan and come up with your own. Moving around is soooo much easier than with rainbow 6: you can move crouched and peek around corners and these are both great enhancements. I use them a lot and saved my posterior in more than one risky occasion. And of course there's "terrorist hunt": you can replay a mission with thirty baddies around and no hostages: it's the ultimate shootout-hunting match. It's worth every penny it costs! GOOD JOB GUYS!

cool

I really love this game. I got it a little late but i haven't stopped playing it since. It's one of the best games i've ever played. and i've played a hell of a lot of game. I highly recommend it. It's better than R6. if there is a comparision.

Close quarter battle that is highly realistic.

As a military person I can tell you this is extremely authentic.

If you've played the original 'Rainbow Six' you'll automatically notice the changes... -Better artificial intelligence (they are TOO realistic and SMART) -Improved characters (they act just like human beings...you see eyes blink, breath in cold air, and they even LIMP, drag their LEG, etc. when shot! )

This is not a typical 'shoot em up' doom type game...it's real world folks. One shot can and usually does kill you. The good thing is it's only a game and you can lead teams (up to 5 per team with a max of 4 teams if a mission supports it). I have limited space here, but it is very addictive, fun and an involving view into real world anti-terrorism!

I think Rogue Spear takes from it's other game, Rainbow Six, which I think is a great game. They made lots of improvements on the game like more awesome guns, better graphics, and great special sound effects like the terrorists suffering in pain when dying. Also, they have added some great special effects like black marks when frag grenades blow up, and a really big flash when flashbangs go off. I would recommend this game to fans that prefer action-strategy games and especially Rainbow Six fans. Red Storm Entertainment and South Peak Interactive should give themselves a pat on the back for such a wonderful game. Great job guys!
