HUGE letdown
Now, I'm a fanatic of Rainbow Six, Black Arrow was good except the lack of levels. <
> <
>Now this game is just horrible. They tried to futurize everything about it with the goggles, and the guns. One gun is an assault rifle looking thing that has a pistol attached to the side that you pull of for your secondary weapon. No where realistic like the other ones. If UBI soft wants to make a game they think is reviling HALO, name it something else other than Rainbow Six. You guys made this game striving for realism and squad combat. Now when your "elite soldiers" duck at every sound and you are holding some gun that doesn't exist, it is not a Rainbow Six game. UBI soft has really letdown their fans with this release. Those who like it have no clue what RB6 is all about. If you like the previous games DONT BUY THIS ONE. If you're into the futuristic stuff, i guess you could check it out....Hopefully the next will be better

This game really sucks
I disagree with the critics. This game sucks. For one, every single time you tell your team to move out to a position, they never regroup no matter how many commands you ordered for them to regroup. Second, there are very few weapons, unlike Rainbow Six Black Arrow. Third, your men can't do anything! They die with a few shots and they hide behind a corner every time you are near a terrorist/mercenary. I highly recommend for you to not buy this game, and go out and buy a great game like Socom 3: U.S. Navy Seals.

What went wrong?
I am a huge fan of the Rainbow series, and the first Rainbow 6 for the xbox is one of my favourite games, so i was excited to hear about a new one coming out that allowed you to do such things as customize your teammates and other cool things. How wrong i was! <
>So much has changed from the previous games, that the only similarities are the characters from the Rainbow series, everything else is different. <
>The POV has changed so that everything is through goggles, this is not a big deal like all the reviews make it out to be, the outline of the goggles do not get in the way of any of the view, but when you get shot bullet holes appear in the googles glass obscuring all the view. I do not know what kind of goggles these are, but if the person was shot 3-4 times in the eye making these holes they would probably be dead. <
>The gun selection has been severly limited, and although the names are different from the other Rainbow games they are just different varients and that is why the names are different. It did seem that they took away all the popular guns, like the G3A3, M16,M60 and others, and added many smaller machine pistols. I can not speak for other people but i would rather be killing people with a huge assault rifle than with a gun the size of my hand. You can only use a sniper rifle when the game lets you and the are next to no guns with scopes or silencers(the ones that do have them would definitly not in real life). All the gun sight systems are left to the stock option of needle and hole sighting, which is not typical of any special forces when they have red dots, scopes and lasers. This does get annoying when lining up a target because most of the gun gets in the way when looking at an enemy. <
>The controls have been drastically switched around, which seems to be for no reason since no new button options were added making the relayout a pointless joke. The way they have changed the button configuration has made it awkward for old Rainbow player, the left trigger used to be for changing weapons, now it throws grenades(real nice when im surrounded by my teammates and i frag them on accident)It seems that the games controls have been made very similar to Halo and other FPS games, just so that those people can get into it quicker. <
>The graphics are in my opinion the biggest let down, they arent as good as the others, which is a shame because the others were quite good. The guns do not look realistic and instead look almost cartoon like, the scopes on the very few guns that have them do not reflect light or interact with the environment in any way. Every enemy is one of about 3-4 designs, and the environment is nothing special. <
>The AI of both the team mates and the enemies is disgusting, i dont understand how other reviewers can say that they are intelligent or that they set up traps because the most i have seen them do is miss constantly with their guns only a few feet away from me. The enemy are almost as stupid as your own team mates who in every gun fight hide and switch to the hold option, causing you to go off without knowing that they are at the beginning of the map and you are at the end. <
>The game would be semi decent if it were not the sequel to the other excellent Rainbow games, and its expectation of being better or at least the same smashed. The game is far too easy, but i have found many glitches that have stopped me from progressing. On the fifth level a door jamned and the only way i managed to get through was by constantly running at it until i fell through it. Other things like terrorists managing to shoot me whilst they are in the reload sequence(impossible) and the heart beat moniter only sometimes working properly have all dampened the game. <
>The reviews that have given it a low score are from people who have played the other Rainbows, like good games, or expect better from xbox. The reviews that give it a good score are from people that are into quick fast paced games, that sacrafice quality and realism for a game that can be beaten quickly and easily. <
>I would recommend renting it because there are a few fun aspects to it, but not enough to actually wish you had bought it.
