Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield

R63 is a refreshing change from your standard FPS shoot 'em up. Missions are fast-moving, taut, exciting experiences that require extensive planning. Having a default plan included with the game for each level was appreciated. The emphasis is on realism so you won't experience the mayhem of Unreal Tournament 2003.

Avec un Gameplay réaliste, des graphismes sublimes, et de nombreux autres atouts, Raven Shield est un excellent jeu qui ne devrait pas s'effacer des mémoires de joueurs avant un long moment. Marquant ainsi l'univers de la série des Rainbow 6 sur Mac, cet opus ravira les amateurs du genre qui, une fois de plus, devraient être aux anges...

This game is a logical evolution from previous Rainbow Six releases and that disappoints me slightly. While this is an outstanding release, there is no real innovation to it. Additionally, I am forced to wonder why some of the innovations that were developed for Ghost Recon weren’t incorporated; specifically the RPG elements of character development. However that isn’t much more than food for thought. The good news is that while this is a title not to be missed, there is a lot of room for future sequels to grow and become distinctive games in their own right.

I only wish the game had been a bit more innovative in terms of its story arc. Hey, I hate Nazis. But every time we need a "safe" villain, one we can hate in a game without worrying about offending anyone, it's time to unfreeze Hitler's brain. Red Storm: pick up a freakin' newspaper. There are actual terrorists out there. Our forces are fighting them right now. Take your head out of Sgt. Rock for five seconds and turn on CNN.
