A major let down

This game is a serious let down for all Rainbow Six fans, it's main highlights include poor storylines and plots, edgy cinematics and re-inforced by terrible graphics. This is a major dissapointment, and really I wreckon this game should never have been dreamt up, let alone released, it's terrible and should never see the light of day.

One of the best war videogames i have ever played.

Rogue Spear is one of the best war video games I have ever played.It has good graphics and a good sound track.I would play it all night except I am only on the 2nd level and it is very hard.Oh yeah, I also lost it.It is very sad.

this is a great game. it doesnt matter how good you are at video games your gonna have to have stragety skills. You go through 15 different missions. objectives include hostage rescue, disarming bombs, nuetralizing (killing) terrorist,shut down security systems, bugging areas (placing cameras) and other recon type missions, and more. there are 2 recon missions where you use 1 operative and the others you use a whole team which you choose out of a selection of snipers, recon, assault, and demolitions.
each operative has different abilities and charicteristics and is good for different purposes. it has multiplayer and you can go on lone wolf mode to play missions without a team. it saves your missions with 5 different memory slot! one thing that i mad about is that i cant find a way to beat mission 5. Its a recon mission and ive tried everything but i just cant find out how to beat it. ...

Urban Combat on the go

This game is very fun for the military-minded person. The graphics are amazing, and give you a sense that youre in the ruined buildings in Urban cites in other countries. The missions are slow, and each moves has to be planned. You cant jump in because you'll hear a scream and watch your operative get hit by a sniper's bullet. The game all-in all has a very great story. I played this game on a...in total..20+ hour trip back and forth and it has entertained me 2000+ feet in the air :)

If you like guns, the military, or strategic combat, this is the game for you. No music obviously, a clancy game, but a fun game once you master it and get past the first level. The controls are AMAZING and its just amazing how quick the button combos are and how eaisly you can stage complex assaults. Try this: blow down a door with a shotgun with guy, throw a flashbang with another, and move in to clear the room all under seconds with a total of 5 buttons on a screen few inches large? Thats a work of art.

So good you'll be yelling "Tango Down!" every chance you get

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, and its sequel Rogue Spear, have been put onto several game systems, N64, Playstation, Dreamcast, PS 2, and now GBA. It's hard to believe that such a complicated game can be so wonderfully translated to the GBA. The game is brillant. Though the controls are complex due to a lack of buttons on the GBA, you can adjust to them in time and start playing like a pro. You have full control over every aspect of your mission. From the guns, armor, secondary weapons, and your team members, you're given everything you need to complete the numerous covert ops of this game. On top of this, there's the incredible multi-player features of this game. Three people can work cooperatively to complete missions. The graphics are exceptional, allowing you to see most every detail of the environments. The sound is a key feature of this game. Being able to hear the footsteps of your enemies, helps you greatly in this game. It's very seldom occured where a GBA port of an already great game turns out like this. This is by far one of the better games for the GBA to date.

Dont Listen to the bad reviews....

Rogue Spear is a major success in the Rainbow Six series. With great graphics for the GBA, good plot, and good use of sound as a strategic element, this game deserves 5 big stars. Try it out.

I've played this game!

I've played this game, well... nice and clear graphics, astounding sound, excellent gameplay and AI, team play, multiplayer! What else?
Rogue Spear is the demonstration of what GBA can do besides usual platform-jump-and-catch-the-coins games, it's not a simplified porting of an existent retro-game but it's all new, and without comparable GBA titles at this moment.
Perhaps someone here, who has managed to test Rogue Spear GBA before it was released (Feb 11th ?), can't even **imagine** (since it's all he can do with a game he CAN'T have played) that you can be captured inside an action which is framed in a 1.5 x 1 " screen, but I swear it's true!
A must-own.

This game is AWESOME!

When I first started playing this game I must say, I HATED IT! But once you learn the controls and get passed the first stage you will love it, I am addicted, I recomend it 100%

First off, I think its wrong to judge games before they are released. This is why I'm giving this game 5 stars to balance out the review. There is not a lot of games for the GBA that are bad looking... in fact, I have yet to be disappointed with a GBA game.

Secondly, this game will be released in March... it's still February. Buy games on what you feel, not on what others say.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! BUY NOW!
