Not worth it at any price

The absolute worst Dreamcast game I have ever played. I would not even take this game if it was given to me for free.

DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

All I can say is after waiting eight months for the game to come out, it's only single player. Online play would be great, but I was expecting 4 player if not at least 2 player split-screen support. Hopefully Rogue Spear will fix the problems. (it's a better game anyway)

not worth the wait!

What can I say but aaahhhhh! I wait months and months for a game that is just dull. Even when you get the very extensive controls down it still sucks. Rent if you must but don't buy!

A HUGE Letdown...

I really wanted to like this game. I wanted to play it ever since I got my Dreamcast. After many delays, it finally came out, so I rented it. Good thing that's all I did. I'm sorry to report, but this is a horrible game. But why? First off, are the graphics. While they're certainly not the worst I've ever seen, they really leave too much to be desired, especially for the fact that this is a Dreamcast game. You can see the polygons sticking out of the characters and they don't look realistic at all. I've seen N64 games that look better than this. Heck, I've seen Playstation 1 games that look better. The next problem are the controls. They are the worst part of this game. Using the X, Y, B, and A buttons to move isn't bad, but on default, A moves foward and Y moves back. MDK2, Fur Fighters, Quake 3, and almost every other shooter on the DC uses the same X, Y, B, and A movement setup, but after playing those far better games where A moved back and Y moved foward, it's difficult to change. Mercifully, you can change this setup (but unfortunately, only the X, Y, B, A movement setup) to match the other games mentioned above. That's not the end of the control woes, however. With cumbersome menus and 37 commands put into the Dreamcast controller, without support for the Dreamcast Keyboard, it makes the game a REAL pain to learn and makes it barely playable. I can assure you, the controls are much worse than they sound. Not to mention the fact that you can't customize anything but the moving controls (mentioned above) to your liking. Plus, the loading times are too darn long. But there's something good about this game. The sounds are very good and draw you into the action, and the voicework is above average. But that's sadly it. I was hoping for a good spy game like Goldeneye, but with more emphasis on stealth and on the Dreamcast, but I just wasn't that lucky. Don't bother wasting your time with this piece of junk. Instead, skip it and go immediately to Perfect Dark. This game had so much potential, and it's a real shame that it couldn't come together.

stupid

I bought this game based on the great reviews, but this game is DULL DULL DULL. It's too hard to learn, the control is hard, there are too many buttons to learn, the missions are stupid, the instruction booklet is very unhelpful, and the graphics are bad. This game has no action and I'm sorry I wasted my money.

Rainbow 6 for Sega Dreamcast

I went to blockbuster on my Birthday and I saw rainbow 6 for the sega dreamcast. I was like Whoa cool im definitly gonna rent this. When I got home and played it for 10 minutes I was mad. Rainbow 6 for dreamcast was an exact copy of the PC version. It had no enhanced graphics on it. The game is at max 64-bit graphics. Dont buy this game it was fun for the pc but not for dreamcast. To top it all of the controls sucked too. Dont buy this game, It's definitly not worth it.

Zzzzz....

Am I supposed to get excited when I play this game? If the designers were hoping to bore me, they did a great job. Lame sound effects, bogus graphics, and sluggish action make this one pretty dull. Skip it.

Rainbow Sucks....I mean Rainbow Six

First off I'm disappointed that I had to wait 8 months to find out that this game wasn't really worth the wait. Secondly, I have read all of these other reviews that say that the graphics and gameplay are outstanding. Let me be the first to say that game absoultley, positively, does take advantage of the Dreamcast capabilities at all. When I first played the game it looked like the PC version. For me personally, this game would have kicked ... if it were to look like MDK2 or Rayman 2. When I buy games for the Dreamcast (the most powerful game counsole on the market) I expect to be blown away by the graphics, sound,...etc. The characters in R6 have too many rough edges, and the environment that your team is immersed in is OK but could be a lot better. I really have mixed feelings about this game. While there are some cool aspects of the game there are downsides that overshadow the high points in the game. Furthermore, when I found out that the game was only 1 player I was yet again dissapointed, only because the articles that I had read in the past said you could play up to 4 players. Overall, I am disappointed with the game, but I am sure that others will be able to overlook my complaints that I have mentioned.

Much better on the PC

In Rainbow Six, you assemble a highly skilled team of anti terrorist commandos, plan out your assault and then control one or more of the team as you commence your invasion.

The critical item to note here is that the majority of the game is spent choosing your team, equiping them properly and then planning out the raid. This is not Syphon Filter where you jump into a room of bad guys and blaze away. You can be killed in a single shot. Once the action begins, you can play any one of the raid team that is engaging the enemy, otherwise the sophisticated computer AI will guide them according to your plans.

I agree with the reviews that suggest that you rent this game first. It is very detailed and realistic. If you don't want to spend hours analyzing and preparing the missions, then you wont't appreciate the game's considerable depth.

I find that the detail level does not lend itself well to the standard dreamcast controller. There are too many things to do and the interface layout is awkward without a keyboard and mouse. I also found that the action part of the game (moving the aiming cursor) was overly sensitive and very frustrating to use.

The other reason that this game does not rate highly for me was the poor, boxey graphics and the medicore sound. They just do not take advantage of the Dreamcast capabilities. On the otherhand, the game does have a lot of replay value and very sophisticated AI.

Uranus Back in the 1900's

Back in the 1900's...a popular PC game called rainbow 6 wasscheduled for a dreamcast release. Boy was I hyped...Sega would haveonline games, and my non-PC-having tail would have the thrill of controlling a special-ops team with other non-PC-having @$$!es...Now almost halfway to 2001 the lazy Majesco Sales team comes out with this game, ducking promised release dates like a bad report card...Maybe I can change that "E" to a "B" with a black pen, telephone rings...who could it be? Teacher conferences screw you everytime...but back to reviewing this game. With the sequel "Rainbow Six-Rogue Spear" close behind like a concerned parent, I must really say at this point WHO CARES ANYMORE. With the "real" Sega net still months away, this game has already lost 50% of its fun due to lack of online play. Also you can't play with more than 2 players, deduct another 25%. The environments are nice and the missions are realistic and intense(of course otherwise it wouldn't have Tom Clancy's name attached), but again its now almost June 2000 and I'm just not excited about playing a dated PC conversion which only delivered 25% of what I expected, and took longer to find a home than a certain garbage barge in the late 1900's. This thing has been in and out of the "almost done" status more often than most rock stars are in and out of rehab...
