I got this game and was amazed, I had never seen any game like this. It was just what I was longing for in a computer game. It kept me on the edge of my seat for hours. I love it because you can plan what your teams do in third person, then play it in first person. When playing many computer games I find it hard to memorise all the keys and their functions, but this is not the case with Rainbow Six. A definate must buy.

#1 Game for Shooters

A wonderfully exciting game on the tail of a equally exciting book.

I promise that Rainbow Six is the most realistic shooter game you will have ever played. (It parallels the book.) When preparing for a mission, you can put as much or as little effort into the battle plan as you want. You can spend an hour pondering blueprints and tactics, or you can just pick out your weapons and storm the terrorist site. Enemy soldiers react with reasonable AI, if they see you they WILL try and kill you. And sometimes the bad guys can be just as sneaky as you. And be careful about getting hit. If you take a shot in the arm, you'll live, but you have a heck of a time shooting. But one sniper shot to the head, and you are out of the game... for good. There are so many chaotic variables that can modify a characters performance: fatigue, wounds, heavy armor, bad shot, bad luck. It is not a game you can play through blindly. Not only do you need to be up to the challenge, you need to be fast, smart, and sometimes patient.

I must also suggest purchasing the Gold, since it comes with the Eagle Watch pack. This contains new characters from the book, new weapons, and five real world locations.

I have played this game and have been blown away. Not only does it have superb graphics but it gives you the feel of a real special operations expert out on the field. There is no music but the constant drip of water or fire of guns from far away builds the supense. You'll here the chatter of automatics and quickly look at your team members life meters to see who won. You could either get the assuring sound of "Tango down!" or the feel of falling of your view when you reach the area where your dead partners were supposed to clear. This game is very realistic and I reccomend it to all gamers

Excellent gameplay, good plot, stunning graphics

This game is great for the gamer, whether they like strategy or action it's got both. It's no kind of shoot-em-up game but rather a game that relies upon the players quick wit, planning techniques, and response under pressure. This game is fully playable with training missions and 16 playable levels. Eagle Watch (the expansion pack) comes with five extra levels including two extremely good training missions, (they help alot). It's got an extremely playable multiplayer game which is completely shoot-em-up, although you can play co-op on levels. If you pick up Rainbow Six pick up this Gold Version because it comes with both the R6 missions and the Eagle Watch missions.

The best game out there

Rainbow Six is the most compelling, aweing game I have ever played in my life. The graphics are out of this world, and it is realalistic. You must choose your weapons and supplies. There is a very good balance between stealth missions and "go-get-em" missions. You only get 2 or three shots before you are killed. You have a special team of operatives all with different attubites. Not like those Quake shoot-em up games. This is a must buy for everyone. Tom Clancy and Red Storm are ingenious.

Don't overlook this one

I recently bought this game and I am thoroughly impressed- to say the least. This one is much better than the N64 Version- better graphics, better explosions, more conversation, better sound effects, more realistic gameplay, better AI, and is much more user-friendly. I bought this based on other people's reviews, and they were right- this game rocks! You start out with the extensive training mode. Firing ranges, grenade and flashbang practice, door breaching, room clearing, and, most importantly, hostage rescue. You then begin a campaign, hand pick your team, weapons, gadgets, etc. then - the part that most amazed me - the planning phase. You assaign each of your men to teams, then give each team waypoints and certain commands to carry out. When you begin the mission, the computer plays for the members of the other teams and carries out their orders- EXACTLY AS YOU PLANNED! This game draws you in so much that you feel like you're actually there. And once a certain team member dies, he doesnt come back. Not just an endless supply of lives like Duke Nukem - you only get one. I must warn you though, this game takes up LOTS of disk space, and you need a really fast computer to run it. This is probably the best price you will see for the game anywhere, so grab it while you have the chance. "Are you ready to save the world?"

Just simply Awsome!

These two Rainbow Six games are simply awsome. Everything about these two games are simply awsome. In total there are 22 totally realistic missions where you have to go in and get the objectives done, if that's plant a camera or a bug somewhere, or to rescue a few hostages, or to just go in and kill all terroists. It took me about two weeks to get all missions done, and if you get into trouble, look in the strategy guide for tips. Not to mention that this gold pack is a great deal, two games and a strategy guide for 25 bucks.

THE 2ND BEST GAME

This game is da bomb!No stupid Quake/Doom health, 1 or 2 shots and your toast.And you better keep people alive too there are 16 very cool missions and you need every person .Each person has a different skill too. The guns are very realistic but there aren't that many though. And if you think the the missions are the same you're dead wrong, the missions vary from sneaking into a house unseen to wiping out all the terrorists on an abandoned airfield to rescuing a hostage on a ship. The graphics are totally sweet and your aim is altered by your health. From the loud boom of the grenades to the screeching tires of a hummer on an Austrailian highway I give this the 2nd best game award and if you are wondering whats better then this?The sequel of course.

The real deal

If you read the book Rainbow Six you will love the game. This game is action packed, suspenseful, and thrilling. If you add all that into a game what do you get? You get the best P.C. game on the planet... Rainbow Six.
