Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Description

The most revolutionary action/strategy game of its kind, nothing comes closer to offering an exciting combination of strategy, team-building, realistic three-dimensional graphics and true-to-life special forces action. The ultimate goal is to save yourself and the world from deadly terrorists. You must successfully complete 16 unique missions, plus eagle watch missions. If you fail, the game isn't over. The world is.Amazon.com As first-person shooters go, Rainbow Six is to Dreamcast what GoldenEye 007 is to the Nintendo 64: the most innovative and intriguing title of its kind for the platform. Borrowed from Tom Clancy's novel of the same name, Rainbow Six offers a fascinating first-person adventure through lush worlds and highly detailed environments that have yet to be seen on gaming consoles. But don't stop to smell the roses too often or you'll end up staring down the business end of an oncoming Stinger missile. You command an elite antiterrorism force through a series of stealth and action missions. Sometimes you will need to sneak through a foreign embassy in the dark with your night vision goggles on, while other times you'll need to launch a full-on weapons attack on your enemies. The game does both types of missions well, but you'll have to spend some time planning with your team before you start each level. Plotting out missions in advance and positioning team members lends a unique real-time strategy feel to the already excellent shooter aspect of the game. As the team leader, you are solely responsible for making sure each mission goes well. Direct and protect your squad, save any hostages who might be hanging around, and accomplish your main mission objectives. The latter may include sabotage, simple spying, or even assassinations. Good luck. --Bill HutchensPros:Perfect mix of first-person shooting and strategyComplex environmentsFoes boast realistic intelligenceCons:No multiplayer supportMultiple objectives are sometimes overwhelming Product description The most revolutionary action/strategy game of its kind, nothing comes closer to offering an exciting combination of strategy, team-building, realistic three-dimensional graphics and true-to-life special forces action.

Review Rainbow Six was the popular PC game based on Tom Clancy's novel, which cast you as a member of an elite force, where you planned your secret operative mission (chose weapons, teams, laid out plans) and then executed it. You killed, attacked, died, fought, snuck, and did all the other things secret ops usually have to do. The PC game proved popular for its hybrid of strategy and action, and Majesco' Dreamcast version is said to be a direct port of it. In the game, you're cast as a member of an elite force, where you plan your secret operative mission choose weapons, teams, lay out plans) and then execute them. --Staff --Copyright ©1999 GameSpot Inc.
