Tom Clancys Rainbow Six for Dreamcast Videos >>
Summary alright i'm posting this message like a couple years after this game came out so I might be harder on it because i've seen some of the playstation 2 and xbox graphics. I still like old dreamcast games (new too) and I tend to buy them more then any other gaming systems. This game isn't so bad, for a couple of years old this game is solid.Sound One thing i don't get is you can fire your gun (noy silenced) about 100 feet from a bad guy and he wont hear it. Other than that it's ok. Not very much music.Gameplay The controls are kind of screwy at first. It takes a while to get used to. I don't know if this is really a good thing or a bad thing but it proposes an immediate challenge. The picking lock thing is kind of cool I mean in real life what terrorist is gonna leave a door open? Well the James Bond terrorists do at least.Would you like to Comment?

I have played Rainbowsix for the PC, but I haven't had it for the Dreamcast. Let me just say that my review is about the sequel of this game, and it doesn't solely talk about the original--------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's by the same company; Majesco! It's realism brings you in depth of the game. Even losing a person in the heat of the battle, you feel famished and upset that one of your elite members is "tangoed down" Not only is this game awesome, and based on the novels by Tom Clancy, it brings a new concept of playing games. If you've played Quake 3 Arena, or Unreal Tournament, turn back now! The most common reason is..... In RainbowSix:Rogue Spear w/urban operations included, your missions have to be carefully planned and summarized out before you go in, and find out that it was a slaughter from the beginning. "One shot one kill" I hence now before you. Unlike QIIIA or U.T. you can pick up health, and be shot up with rockets, and ask for seconds! While RainbowSix:RogueSpear offers a one ticket way to hell, with a shot in the eyes, your down, and you let your team down as well. Sound The sound is by far the best. With bullets spraying from your MPA2 or your SPAS-12 automatic Shotgun, make this an awesome sound effect realism. With bullets spraying and ricoheting off of walls and objects, this is a nice effect, and able to see where you left your territory.The sound of a tango as he screams in pain when you hit him in the head, and blood splatters and half of his skull his coated on the ceiling!!! Gameplay Unlike the original of RainbowSix for the Dreamcast, the keyboard/mouse combo had not been released yet, so playing this game using a controller could be tedious, and make a temper rage start out, if your not patient, and allowing yourself to learn the controls. With RogueSpear you can use the keyboard/mouse combo, but I have not bought it yet, and on the flipside I use the controller with no problem. It's the same controls as in Quake 3, so It was like second nature with me, but you have to learn the commands and fast!I give the gameplay a nice rating for the simple reason that you can make use of the keyboard and mouse, and even using the controller isn't bad. There are 18 missions that you must go through and accomplish either with your team members or by your crazed-out self, which is my usual way of playing it ;-) There are 3 leves of difficulty of this game. Rookie, Veteran, and Elite. I suggest starting off on rookie, unless you think your rambo. hee hee! After you complete the game, you are offered to tryout 5 urban operation missions, which are 10x harder then the previous missions, but I noticed playing all 5 of them, you have to be handy with a sniper in most cases. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really love the Deathmatch play of this game. Throwing a frag and blowing up a friends head and then laughing it up later is almost as fun as running around in circles for hours on end until you puke. This is nearly as fun as playing the Deathmatch on Q3A! You have 8 selected areas that you can deathmatch, and you can have up to four mutliplayer people playing at the sametime as well. It's worth trying out, and testing your skills as well. It's fun blowing a leg off your friend, or sneaking some C4 near a door, and your opponent(friend) opens up the door, and falls back on the floor, with a gurgling grueling death sequence.

This was a big deal because I new about the ultimate power of the DC. I got a few games to go with the DC, one of them being Rainbow 6. This game is nice, but the loading times can seem to last forever. You have to load way to many times. Rainbow six is very well done in some areas, and horribly lacking in others.Sound The sound was ok at best. I like how there is no repetative music that you are forced to get bored of. Most sound was realistic, but a lot of it wasn't. This game defintley could have used more sound quality.Gameplay Gameplay is good. But that's all it is. The makers of this game did not go the extra mile to make it as smooth or simple as possible. It took me hours to finaly work out the controls. I still haven't figured out what some of the weapons do, let alone, how to equip them. I love the stealth involved with this game. I was expecting somthing along the lines of the James Bond games. This was a pleasant surprise to know that I would actually have to use my head instead of pure reflexes.Would you like to Comment?

Summary I had been playing this for about 3 hours, so I had gotten most of the controls down, when a friend of mine stopped by. He tried playing, and immediatly started complaining. "Where is my life bar?" "THere is no life bar, if you get shot you are either dead, injured or incapcitaded.""This is too slow!" "Well its called stealth, thats what makes the game fun. Go play commando if you don't like it." Sound I like the sound. I read some reviews that gave it 1's and 2's, but I think it is better than that. It is a quiet game for a reason. You are sneaking around killing people, you don't want sound. One thing I thought was cool, was that I was using the heartbeat finder, and knew someone was patroling this hallway on the otherside of a door. As he would walk near the door I could hear his footsteps approaching, getting louder and louder, then when he turned away and walked away they got quieter.Gameplay Pretty much, if you like shoot 'em up games, then don't buy this. If you like games that take planning, inteligence, stealth, then by all means buy it. The controls are very very intimidating at first, but after playing a few hours they become second nature. My friend would ask me something, like how do you change weapons. I couldn't tell him, but when I took the controller I just did it. They definitly are second nature. You cannot believe the control you are given over your character. It's not your typical gun game.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Forget what you heard this is a really bad game, it moves very slow the controls are extremely hard to master, too so. And the overall exitement of the game are almost non-existant. SAVE YOUR MONEY! I'm sorry to say that what looked to be a promising squad based shooter turned out to be nothing more than a complicated version of Doom.Sound The sound was okay but came in bursts at certain times when the action started to become more prevailent which was a nice touch, but in between points of action there was nothing to fill the gaps (which was not so nice)Gameplay The gameplay is about 50% the controls work well (if you can understand them) and the characters do what you want them to, but on the other hand the overall movement of the soldiers is very slow and after a while you get BORED of waiting for your character to move. Also, I can't stress enough, the controls are unnecessarily hard to use.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.
