Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Rainbow Six is a good game with an unique and exciting premise. I recommend it to anyone who has the hardware to run it, revels in planning, and enjoys a healthy dose of strategy along with their action. The ability to re-plan and execute individual missions makes for high replay value, although there is no way to record those missions. Although I gave the game some low marks, I was able to overlook its shortcomings for the opportunity to kick some Tango behinds! Due to its complicated nature and violence, the game is not for young children.

Unique en son genre, "Rainbow six" n'en est pas moins excellent. Étant très différent des autres jeux, la sortie de son add-on Rogue Spear n'est pas encore assurée. Si vous êtes un peu lassés des jeux dont vous disposez et cherchez un compromise entre un Doom-like et un jeu de stratégie, "Rainbow six" est le jeu qu'il vous faut.

This genre-blending title brings a lot to the gaming experience. It takes what is good from first-person shooters and turn-based strategy (that sounds like a stretch but it's true) games, mixes it up and spits out something never quite seen before. Clancy also brings mass appeal to Rainbow Six, lending his well-crafted fictional world of political intrigue, secret-ops missions and action.

So if you're the type who just loves to run around and kill everything that moves, you'd best stay away from Rainbow Six. Actually, you could take advantage of the multiplayer capabilities and still run around and kill everything that moves, but there are other games tailored specifically to that purpose. Rainbow Six is aimed at the strategist who likes a little action as well. If you've ever played Myth and wished you could join the fray from the point of view of an archer, then Rainbow Six will not disappoint. Well, except that there are no archers to be controlled. I'm afraid the bow and arrow just don't get much use from government operatives these days.
