Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 Reviews
My husband and son like this game alot. Just wished more than 1 player can play it at a time.
The final mission seems to me to be more of something I would expect to find in Splinter Cell rather than a tactical shooter and doesn't do it as well as Splinter Cell. Don't know why it's taken me so long to do a review on this particular game, but here goes:.
*minor spoiler alert* .
Overall this is one of the better games on Xbox and is highly recommended. I've played the game through two times, but never finished it.
The last mission is the only one I didn't like. Whilst there are issues with the AI and issuing commands to your team members, overall this is a great game.
This is a great game for those who just want to get in and start shooting and blowing things up, the tactical part can be thin in many areas, but a few areas lend themselves to good planning and execution. It's not the same tactical shooter that some of the previous Rainbow Six games have been, but graphically it is one of the great Xbox games.
A lot like Ubi's other tactical shooter franchise (Ghost Recon) except for whatever reason, they employ native voice actors throughout this franchise's history (they also sound French or German in this one).goofy. "Roger.Open UND clear" Playable on the 360. If you have Vegas, give it a try, it ain't bad.
There is also a great multiplayer system, where you can compete, or you can co-operate and play the any part of the campaign. Long story short: Rainbow Six 3 is crap, and I'd think Tom Clancy would be ashamed to have his name on it. The sarcasm should be obvious. Clear out a room, move to the next, kill people, move to the next. I would recommend Rainbow Six (original) for PC, as well as Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. Occasionally rescue a hostage that has very poor AI and likes to get shot, or defuse a bomb that is in a room previously filled with very stupid terrorists. These games allow you to choose your team(s) of up to 8 men and women, from snipers to demolition experts, to scouts, and designate them on 1 to 4 teams. Talk about realistic, I bet lots of military people wish THEY had a save and a load function (you don't get to save in game in the original Rainbow Six games, which is a good thing).
There are no choices in this game, other than that of weapons, and there is no strategy. In this area there is another stupid hostage and the only way to move them around is to actually walk into them and push them (a grueling process). I'm not even going to talk about the next level, which is worse. In one level, after clearing your way to a hostage, making as much noise as you like with no repercussions, you take the hostage, who you cannot tell to NOT follow you, to a very large open area. In Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear, there is a very detailed plannig phase, where you have a 3D blueprint of your next mission's location, and you can set the path for your teams to follow, via waypoints. Here's a smart idea, let's sit in a big open area while terrorists come at us from every angle while we wait for a helicopter.when we could just go back the way we came, since our cars are outside. As well, as with any first person shooter, the PC version is better.
The obstacles are static, the enemies are always in the same place, and the only 'strategy' involved is the fact that you can only save twice per level. The original is greater by far, as is Rogue Spear. You have to wait in this large open area until an evac comes. Oh well. This game is extremely linear.
Lastly, I hate it when you can only control yourself and not others, much less give individual orders. However, it is still worth getting. It's really annoying to move them out of your way too. it's really weird. and we know how much I love the AI. Being a big fan of tactical games, Rainbow Six 3 was on my to-get list and just recently I picked up my copy. However, the AI is seriously lacking on both the terrorists and your fellow team mates.
What also makes me mad is the fact that you need XBox Live in order to do Co-Op. I had a blast with it and still play it despite the fact that I beat it several times. It takes away from the controlability from the game, thereby being at the mercy of the AI. The terrorist AI is also lacking. Other times the terrorist will try to roll away to safety and instead roll towards you and shoot you while rolling.
It's a really fun game, but these small errors really do add up to a big deal. The graphics are not bad given the time of RBS3's release. I think it's rediculous and a money-making scheme dreamed by Tom Clancy or Bill Gates. When you give Zulu (Attack on your command) commands, they can get stuck in corners walk into the given area and get killed in the process. Several times when clearing rooms they'll either jump out in front of me and take a few rounds to the back or they'll stop in the doorway and start shooting like it was a carnival game. I'm sorry, but I don't feel like paying money in order to play Co-Op.
But nonetheless, I loved playing this game. I was escatic to play Conflict: Desert Storm on Co-Op, why can't other games be the same. My favorite thing to do it use phosphorous on the terrorist and watch them burst into flames. Nothing special about them, but they arn't lacking soo much that one begins to notice it. I could take out someone with a loud.40 S&W handgun and the nearby terrorist will just scratch his head wondering if it was a firearm or if his stomache just made a noise.
The weapons were veryy accurate in terms of practicality and functionality; I was very pleased that Ubi Soft actually got the technical information of the actual weapons and implimented them correctly instead of making a messed-up array of weapons like the RCP-90 in Golden Eye (Great weapon for a great game).
