"Move along people, nothing to see here."- Southpark Cop [Posted on 2002-04-23]
I love Rogue Spear. And if you're here, it's because you either love Rogue Spear as well or are interested in learning to love the series. I own Rainbow Six, Covert Ops and now this is a new addition to my collection. But I am not happy. There is just nothing really new in this game. It's really more of the same thing. Don't get me wrong, this is not a horrible game. It plays well, the graphics are decent (pretty much identical with Rainbow Six:Rogue Spear), but nothing improved or ground breaking.
What tends to happen when you have more of the same stuff is you get bored easily....and that I did, with this game. I hate to say it, but I never even finished this game because I got bored, plus I picked up a copy of Ghost Recon (once you go Ghost, you'll never go back). This game never really kept me going. I got to the level where you have to stop the bad guys before they escape on a bus, after a couple of trys, I just lost interest.
Bottom line: If you've never played any of the Rainbow Six games and you want to start, I highly reccommend you pick up Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, every level in that game is fun and it has good replay value. I'm all about "the experience" when it comes to playing games, I strive to have a fun experience, but with this game it just wasn't there, if anything, it felt more like a job. If you own any of the previous series, I really don't reccommend this unless you really have to get every game in the series. If anything, wait for Raven.

Black Thorn [Posted on 2002-06-20]
I have heard that this game was highly anticipated, then when it was relaesed, it was dissapointing. I really looked forward to it and i read the reviews, and i said "Forget it" and i bought a better game like Delta Force 2. I heard this game has cool graphics and neat new weapons like the French FAMAS G2 rifle, FN P90 5.7mm submachine gun, and the Steyr TMP. Although these weapons sound cool, the difference in the weapons compared to the other weapons is just noise and range. Usually, 3 round bursts from any weapon will drop a tango (terrorist). But, it has neat, new missions in cool places and has cool counter-terrorism tactics.

One of The Best Games Ever Made! [Posted on 2002-06-24]
Ah, Tom Claney comes out with another great Rainbow Six game.
This game is so realistic, it has great grafic senes. I would rate it game of the year. Nothing comes closer to putting you in real life special forces ation. It's so real you'll be yelling "Brovo Go" in your sleep for weeks.

All you people dont know wat youre talking about [Posted on 2003-08-13]
This is the best game ever. And can you play urban ops ONLINE??? Yea thats wat i thought.

Not very good [Posted on 2004-06-12]
Urban Ops was a lot better. The online play addition was nice, but that's all this game is really good for. The earlier R6 games have much better environments and provide a much greater challenge. I think it's pretty bad when one can complete this game on the Veteran setting in under two hours. On the brighter side, the weapons additions are very nice. I'm not too sure how many are added (and they are only available on the multiplayre setting), but they are all pretty fun to play around with. It gives a sense of what the enemy is using against you.
