The editors of PC Gamer magazine ranked the 'Rainbow Six' series #9 in the Top 50 Games of all time in their October 2001 issue.
Actually, the game has MANY more missions than the novel of the same name by Tom Clancy. Red Storm decided they want to do a tactical shooter, while Tom Clancy said his next book will be about terrorism and counter-terrorist outfit. It's only natural to have them work on the same backgrounds.
The book only has about about half-dozen missions undertaken (the bank, the "schloss", Europark, military base, Australia, and Brazil) by Team Rainbow. The game has much more than that, along with some very different plots.
There is a Rainbow Six book by Tom Clancy that tells a much more detailed version of the game's story.
