Ubisoft need their heads examined. Buying this game is actually morally wrong - it supports the dumbing down of entertainment in pursuit of profit. If you don't already own it, spend your cash on the previous title ("Black Arrow") instead. Everything that was great about previous versions of Rainbow Six got thrown out the window when they did this game. Everything is dumbed down to make this about as realistic as Sonic the Hedgehog. In fact you might say that buying this game is a lot like giving into terrorism.
a $30 pricetag isn't all that bad however so buy at your discretion. this rainbow six isnt nearly as realistic as the previous titles. plagued by crappy enemy AND teammate AI, some terrorists dont go down even after littering their bodies with bullets. even if you're a fan of the series like myself, you will be disapointed with this. it is a fun action game however but too easy.
And the weapons are cool too. This is the best Rainbow Six 3 lockdown game in the world. This game is better than the last one. And the game play is good too. The graphics are really good. Using the sniper mode is pretty easy. :)
A standard shotgun blast breach also looks more realistic than in previous versions--the door swings open, then closed, then open, and flaps like so. No problem, change mags and you'll have a combat loaded 31 rounds, right. * Breach Order. However, I STILL enjoy playing Rogue Spear, Urban Ops, and Raven Shield (3rd installment). There are about one or two ways of accomplishing a goal. After the game is played, there is no way to revive it by making different choices in the field, or trying new routes to an objective. Picking your teammates. No more DYNAMIC tactics.
Revoked. Where did it go. In the new game, a change of magazines translates into the removal of this realistic extra round. Better to just shoot your teammates. one thing that made Raven Shield leaps and bounds better than any other tactical shooter, was its "combat loaded" round-in-the-chamber weapon realism.
Lame.* There's still no such thing as a heart beat sensor. Finally, Willy Pete, or White Phosphorus grenades will light your foe like a candle, with fun visuals of "screaming alphas." ----------Weaknesses:* By far, the single most aggravating thing about the game is the oversimplification of the weapons. Down to one round in your 30 round mag. No planning anymore. There are some definite strengths, but they are severely overshadowed by this title's shortcomings. * New Secondaries: The Maul allows someone to breach a door mechanically, though this method is slow. New options of breaching also. Previously, it was ONLY the player's responsibility to breach.
WRONG. Graphics look awesome. * Game is made for arcade, not for a serious tactical shooter. As one comment noted, maps are LINEAR. More realistic. If you pay more than $20-$25 for this game (after shipping), you're getting ripped off.
This is HIGHLY frustrating, as it leaves nothing to the imagination. * Some enemies are much tougher, but not unrealistically. I am a long-time fan of the original series. Also, smoke grenades look much more dense, like the fire extinguisher explosions in RS3.
Now you can finally order your team to breach a door and clear a room. REVOKED. Not only has the weapon choice been reduced by more than half, but this ability to customize has been revoked. Player can walk right in, no buttons to push to open the door once it has been breached in this fashion. Teammates don't follow orders. It loses its playability instantly after it is completed.
They still die, but sometimes fight ferociously, leading to interesting battles. This title is not a wonderful improvement, as all fans were expecting. Buy Raven Shield instead, there are still plenty of people playing it, and there are many map packs available online. The game plays like a script. I'll make this as simple as possible.Strengths: * High detail map scenery. Stun grenades complement the ordinary array of flashbangs.
And they won't remember after it's finished unless you "remind" them. Shotgun is now capable of taking the door off its hinges. Don't worry about choosing ammo type either.
Customizing a gun--adding a suppressor, hi-cap Beta C-Mag, or scope--was one of the greatest attributes of Rainbow Six 3. Oh sure, they'll try, but they will forget what you told them as soon as a firefight breaks out. Oh, I almost forgot.
Grenades thus become an essential tool in ending a firefight that drags on. When swapping magazines, if a live round was present in the chamber, IT STAYED THERE, giving the possibility of a full magazine capacity + 1 round. Don't expect a tactical shooter.
this is the first RB6 game i've bought since 'rogue spear' for PC a long time ago(yes i have lockdown for PS2).it's very different(granted RS is years old)i caught lockdown on sale one weekend and snatched it up because i was addicted to SC chaos theory and wanted to check it out.i'm glad i got it on sale because it's not worth 50 dollars.as people have said before- it's just a bit.i dunno-- simple.you just go through the levels-- and shoot the bad guys.it's not bad,it's just not great. good graphics- good 'briefings and story line'(i think it's a little geeky the way they say 'briefing by john clark' at the start of every mission-- and i never imagined john clark{from the novels} to sound like such a tightwad with so deep a voice-LOL)i have NOT had any problems with my team-mates aside from them walking out in front of me when i'm shooting thus taking my bullets and sometimes dying.and you do not fail a mission from team-mates dying 'in mission'- the only time that happens is if they die on one the maps where you play weber-the sniper- at the start-- which i haven't had a problem with.it's actually kind of handy to sometimes order them to 'breach and clear' a big warehouse room full of bad guys,while you sit at the doorway and snipe.there are alot of different weapons on this game- which is cool--but there's not really a big difference in them aside from what type they are(shotgun or rifle,ect.).-- the only thing i go by is where you can pull up the stats before the mission and it says 'damage=high/medium/low and accuracy=H/M/L'.and what kind of sights they have(scope or iron sights,or red dot)i use the 90tr-- it has a scope--and you always kill the guys with just a few bullets. that's a good thing i guess-- the bullets do actuall damage- and i do die at least a few times every mission( i'm up to mission 9 now)i dunno- all in all it's a good game,and i do keep playing it-- i have never played any of the other RB6 games for PS2,maybe i should check them out-- it just seems that it could be better.a good thing about this game,though is that you can go back and play through any completed mission in one of several different game modes- which gives it good replayability value.i wanted to give it 3 and a half stars.
