Great Game, some A.I. hiccups [Posted on 2005-07-15]
I can't believe that RS: Lockdown was delayed, it looks great. I recently began playing this game again, because there's nothin' but crap coming out this summer. I don't think that this game is hard, you may just have to play it 3 or more times to get it. There are 15 missions where you either rescue hostages or defuse bombs, you also bug a penthouse, and snatch incriminating documents, all while shooting tangos with SMGs, ARs, LMGs, and sniper rifles. Also with grenades. On most missions you will have three other squadmates, you can order these men to cover, open and clear a room, open and frag or flashbang a room. There are some minor A.I problems especially in tight areas, like in the Import/Export mission just after the room where part 2 of the mission starts in the room w/ all the tangos, after killing them all you hide next to a window, where on the other side are bunch of tangos usually one of your squadmates will run out and stand in front of the window and get shot (you can only survive about four shots from an AR). Another A.I problem is when your team is covering a door, you stand back and open the door and you're shooting a tango, on the other side of the room is another tango, your dumbass squadmate runs out in front of you and you shoot him in the head.

Rainbow Six 3 ultimately frustrating. [Posted on 2006-02-26]
I'm not new to the Rainbow Six games, and I'm not new to first person shooters. I loved the first person shooter missions. But about half way through there is a 'bug phone' mission where you have to place a device on the terrorists' phone. First of all, what terrorist hasn't switched to cell phones by 2003 (or whenever this was released)? Second, I spent hours on this and never could get by the guy watching TV. The idea of these games, not to beat a dead horse, is shooting and strategy. I don't want to sneak around like splinter cell (a much better game) when I have no options for climbing, knocking people out, etc. And I didn't feel the PS2 game gave me the necessary training to get me through this mission. Like, was I supposed to move less times, or move less distance? Or move at certain times? And who stands in front of a widescreen tv for a half-hour? AAAAHHHH!!!

There's a reason this game didn't sell well. If it was just tactics and shooting (like the Rainbow Six I know and love) it would be great.

Rainbow Six is back again. [Posted on 2007-07-14]
I bought this game used at Game Stop for only $7.99, I'm glad I didn't pay too much for it. Don't get me wrong This is a good game, But only a few things are very frustrating... When you get towards the end of the game, there is a mission where you have to bug a terrorists phone without being seen. I'd rather just shoot them & forget them. Another thing, if one of your team mates dies in a mission, they somehow ressurect him for the next mission. WHAT"S UP WITH THAT?! Are rainbow six supermen now?! Anyway if you like first person shooters like me, buy it.

Already traded [Posted on 2008-01-03]
I am a big fan of both squad-based cambat, and open-world games. I have been searching for an experiance equal to the Ghost Recon series games for some time. Rainbow six 3 is not it. Absolutely not open-world at all, very linear. As a squad-based tactical shooter, I found it was sub-par. Since you are trapped in tight hallways the whole time, there is little use for the rest of your team, other than when entering a room with multiple doors. Then the "Frag and Breech" commands are fairly interesting. But for the most-part, you are ducking and shooting around corners. I got bored with that pretty quickly. For squad-based shooters; go with Ghost Recon. For open-world, go with Mercenaries.
I played R 6 3 for a few nights before trading it in at Gamestop.

bad. [Posted on 2008-04-30]
They say this is a fun game. I got this game since it was ten bucks and it was christmas. I'll get to the point.


GRAPHICS

Screw em. They're terrible. They're like cardboard cutouts.



GUNS


Screw em. They have the worst graphics ever.



MAPS


The only good thing about it. Big. And you can get lost too. And the enemies are impossible. They kill you the first time in training.




Over all this game sucks terribly. Hate it and don't get it. I'm lucky I only payed ten bucks. ONE STAR.
