Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (Mac)

Pros: Placate your wanton bloodlust. Shoot terrorists. Great gameplay and replayability.
Cons: Graphics getting a bit old. No way to shoot IRS agents. Loser-effect a definite possibility.

Yes, dear reader, I know what you are thinking. And that is a very scary thing. You're asking yourself, "Why would I, a respectable housewife/businessman/plumber/U.S. postal worker/ want to shoot anything? What need have I, a rational and...

Pros: Innovative gameplay, good graphics, great sound.
Cons: Poor AI, very buggy.

Best tagline ever in a computer game. I bought Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six roughly one year ago, after playing the demo and reading a lot of rave reviews for it. For those unfamiliar with the game, Rainbow Six is branded an "Action-Strategy game." It's ...

Pros: High level of realism, lots of weapons, Squad-based combat.
Cons: Enemy AI is too good, friendly AI is not good enough.

Yes, the world is a very dangerous place. Following the demise of the Soviet Union, numerous terrorist and paramilitary factions have splintered off into hiding. Now, these factions are revealing themselves in violent and unpredictable ways. The usual...

Pros: Great music, decent graphics. Realistic.
Cons: AI, Interface, AI, Interface, AI, Interface, Bunk info.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six was released in 1998 - And was a bit of a change for the standard first person shooter game. And in this sense, don't go into it thinking you are going to be playing Quake. The emphasis on this game is placed primarily on...

Pros: Fun, Good Graphics, Good Character Movement
Cons: AI is on the sloppy side, Lots and lots of bugs

I'd have to say that this game is in fact my favorite game. Sure theres good graphics, good realistic movement, good AI (Well Kind of). But there are down sides to this great game, I know, and many other people know that there are ways of crashing the...

Pros: Gameplay is great, multiplayer is hella fun!
Cons: Graphics are dated, massive clipping errors in the engine, some bad hit detection.

Who would have ever thought a first person game could survive without you being able to effectively strafe, but Red Storm proved the naysayers wrong with the success of their squad-based first person shooter/strategy Rainbow Six. The sequel, Rogue Spear...

Pros: never the same twice. Fast paced, no slouching playing this one.
Cons: AI sometimes borderline retarded.

Nonstop entertainment, I find myself constantly returning to this game to fullfill my homicidal urges. This game pits you as an anti terrorist unit that goes in scenario to scenario to take out terrorists in remote locations throughout the world.
...

Pros: Superb graphics and gameplay.
Cons: AI to unrealistic at times

I have never been a big fan of Tom Clancy, and I never bothered to buy the original Rainbow Six. When Christmas '99 came round, I was surprised to find in my stocking a copy of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear.

I reluctantly installed it onto my PC,...

Pros: More serious than a "kill the monsters" game
Cons: Stupid terrorists, some bugs ( addressed in updates )

Rainbow Six is a first-person-shooter ( FPS ) game with planning and built-in tension; it is MUCH different from the myriad of games where you run through corridors, grab 'power-ups', and shoot everything that moves....no, no, no, you're in the...

Pros: Realistic. Intense scenarios.
Cons: Intensely annoying AI. Bottom-rung graphics.

I used to like this game. I liked the realism, the tense missions, the dangerous tasks. But now, as I review it, I must say I long ago realized that Rainbow Six is a giant steaming pile of gaming junk.

It's another FPS with major potential...

Pros: Ok story Line
Cons: Bad graphics, weapons, and multiplayer

There are many people out there who love this game. They all rave about it and play it non stop. I don't get it! Why? How can a game that takes a long time to setup, the graphics aren't very good, and really isn't that realistic sell so many copies? I...

Pros: good graphics and sound very real
Cons: none

This game is by far the best game that I have ever seen come out for PC and for that matter any other system too. This game is a realistic strategy that is about a group of anti terrorist that are trying to save the world. Although the plot has been done...

Pros: Fun
Cons: Higher Hardware Requirements

Rogue Spear is a great game. It improves manu aspects from Rainbow Six. There's more weapons and kits. The AI is also better. There's more sound effects and the graphics look much more reaslitc. Yet, it still has the feel of Rainbow Six. This makes...

Pros: Fun
Cons: Graphics could be more detailed

Rainbow Six is a great game. It's a tactical first person shooter. It's not like Quake where you run around blasting baddies. Rainbow Six requires you to "think". You have to be careful, for a single bullet could end your life. YOu have to...

Pros: Great realism, and graphics
Cons: Some AI bugs

In general, Rainbow Six is a great game that could be improved a tad.
The multiplayer is incredible. Just try to imagine a LAN party in which you break up into teams of 4, plan your strategy carefully, select your equipment, meticulously plan out...
