Overall, this game is pretty good. It is different in some means by the fact that you get like 3-4 shots and you are out. You can't find that too often anymore. The realism is back in this game. Although if you are one of those Rainbow freaks... Then you might be a little sad. I was sort of impressed with the game play, but of course the graphics were not the best. The guns have more realistic recoil when fired.
The Graphics were great compared to the other rainbow six games. None of the Rainbow games have the best graphics until this one. I am not sure why this is. They have never really been my favorite. But that should not stop you from enjoying the game. I do think that the story is really cool. It starts with a theft of an illegally produced deadly artificial virus. And it is very cool. The Guns are ok. The only bad thing really is the AI. They are extremely stupid. As they should be. But how stupid. They should be able to not shoot at you.
I have experience times when my guys shoot randomly when no enemy is in sight. It is pretty funny. But it is still sad at the same time. The PEC is a good idea. The PEC mode adds extra competitiveness to the online experience. Get ready to fly through the missions with a bunch of the teammates and the original. Chavez, Weber, and Price. The ragdoll effect is a great creation. I like shooting someone at close range and seeing them cartwheel over, or watching people slump over rails and balconies.
Overall, I would have to say that for $19.99 you can't really go wrong. I would consider buying it. Even if you don't want to buy it. Then you should rent it. It is not a waste of time. It is one of the best rainbow games out there. And you have to love voice commands. But remember, Enunciate you words well. Or a open, frag, and clear can turn into a Open , flash, and clear: Screwing your eyesight for a few seconds.

Very good

Wow this game is like wining a million dollars and finding out the next day you dont have long to live, because the rainbow six series has always been one to bring something new to the table and make you feel proud to be a fan, but this game broke the rules all at once. Whats wrong with it? Everything but for starters the only thing that works in the game are your guns, everything from nades to claymores just dont pack the same bang and are overall useless..the flash bangs will blind you but not your ai enemies..the stun grenades do anything but stun, and just overall the explosives do nothing,and the new hammer is anything but a cool way to enter a room..i mean if your gonna just hit the door so it will open...why dont you try just pushing it ....lol the weapon you unlock ...which by the way in every rainbow six launches grenades ..somehow doesnt do it in this one ..or does it? i have had occasions where i switch the fire mode to its secondary and it launches a nade ..other times it just fires in single shots and doesnt do any damage....ugh this game is just horrible...lets just think positive though it must have been that the staff were all drunk at the same time when they realeased the game and will be sober next time (or in rehab) for the next installment of the series.

you can judge a game by it's cover

The game's cover says it all. Ugly. The worst cover art I've ever seen for a game. Worst of any of the Tom Clancy series for the xbox. An extreme letdown. It should be noted that, if memory serves, Ubisoft Canada team did this one, not the French (but don't quote me on that). Ubisoft promoted this game by claiming "stunning graphics and ultra-realistic" which is utter nonsense. A huge step downward in visual quality. Also, this is a minor gripe, but the Rainbow Six team is supposed to be a counter-terror unit I thought, and they seem to be fighting in more warlike theaters and army-like battle grounds. Leave that to the Ghost Recon team folks.

very good single and on-line experience

Well, this game has so few pros, that ill start with them--
-- Decent Graphics
--Good weapon selection
-- OK rag doll physics

The cons, however, are what make the game. The biggest problem is the game is obviously intended to be a tactical shooter, but is actually a run and gun. You have all the tools a tactical shooter requires-- special grenades, advanced team commands, decent weapons. but after the first level you'll learn that the AI is mind-numbingly stupid, and you really need no tactics. They have ridiculously bad aim, and you can walk straight into a room full of them without consequence. there are no tools that let you take cover effectively (like in a later installment, Rainbow Six: Vegas). It isnt satisfying taking out enemies, mainly because they fall too easy (im not talking about one bullet kills, thats fine. Im talking about the fact that they run out into the open and just stand there, not returning fire). The environments are dull and boring (seriously, who sets a level in a parking garage?) and your team mates are almost as stupid as the enemy. There is a fairly large selection of weapons-- the problem is, most of them are the same.
Overall, not a very satisfying, or good, gaming experience.
