A shame to our civilization [Posted on 2003-03-26]
this game depicks people being brutaly murderd by swat teams. I think that this is not just only the most violent game i half ever played, but its full of bugs that have crashed my computer a few times. I recomend that parents keep their kids away from them getting use to killing people.

Too Much Planning -- Not Enough Game Play [Posted on 2003-04-22]
This was more boring than fun. It took too much time to plan out the missions. And the actual game play with action did not last very long. I thought this game was pretty boring. If you like to plan out your missions it might be fun. But I prefer going straingt to the action.

Yard Sale Deal [Posted on 2003-12-09]
I picked this up at a yard sale along with the expansion pack (eagle watch) and the hint book. All 3 items are now bundled as a "gold edition". While it is a few years old, I was quickly amazed by how the real the scenarios were set up. The game itself plays like Thief, that is, hiding and sneaking and taking your shots when you can. If you are used to playing Doom/Quake/Unreal style of combat games and want fast and furios non-stop blowup action this game is not for you. You may have to sit and wait a minute or two for a guard to complete his patrol to line up a shot 50 yards away, only to miss him by inches. The overall graphics and sound are good for the date of this game. There isn't any theme music or background music. If you are near the ocean, that's what you hear... the waves. If you are in a dam, you will hear the deafening turbines spinning, and not the guard sneaking up on you from behind. Well thought out and well executed. As I write this, Rainbow Six 3 has been released and I am looking forward to Rogue Spear and other missions. My only serious complaint of this game is that, on occasion, the A.I. will do some strange things with the targets (like run into a corner and stand silently, instead of fleeing or firing back) Also, from time to time should you fail to meet and objective the mission will end suddenly and you may not understand why you failed the mission. The game simply will inform you that you did not complete a given task. (frusturating)

Hasn't stood the test of time. [Posted on 2004-08-16]
When the game Rainbow Six came out, it was praised for being so revolutionary, realistic, and grondbreaking. Unfortunetly, not only were these claims exaggerated, but the game does not look nearly as good now as it did in 1997.

Frankly, the graphics weren't terribly good in 1997 either. Games like Half-Life and Total Annihilation were coming out at the same time, and they still look great today. Moreover, there never was much semblance of a plot, and the AI (both friendly and enemy) is abyssmal.
However, the game is still enjoyable, the levels still unique and well-designed, the weapons (although with the notable exception of the shotgun they all function essentially the same way) fun to use.
Although the original rainbow six pales in comparison to essentially every game that has followed it, it isnt a bad thng to pick up in a bargain bin for some quick entertainment. 5/10
