Tom Clancys Rainbow Six for Dreamcast Videos >>
Summary This has to be one of the best games that ive played for dreamcast. Seriously, what can you say to such a game? Yea yea, people bash the gameplay and the control, but ounce you get it down, its fire at the enemies noot sac for crying out loud!Sound Agian, Agian. What else can I tell you but, freakin awesome! The sound coming off your weaponry is amazing, just buy the damn game, you know its calling your name.....Gameplay The Gameplay is great, control isnt the best, but agian, if you get it down, its awesome. The fact you you have to plan every single freakin mission does get quite a hassel towards the last few missions, but when you look back on it, you think its cool you took the time to do such a thing. You have a nice, sweet ars crack team to do your job. You can pick out of the bunch, usually around 6-7 agents per mission. Then you assemble them with whatever weaponry you feel. And after that, your on your own (well almost) to take out whatever you feel, terrorists in this case.Would you like to Comment?

This is what I've been looking for in terms of a simulation. There are two major downfalls in this game however. Wow! I had to wait forever it seems to load up the planning phase and the tools that I use to plan my mission. Then I had to wait for the game to load the mission up. Hmmm! This is very noticeable especially considering that I have played the N64 version (which originally got me into it) and there was no load time due to a cartridge based system. However, if you aren't a patient gamer with a lot of flexibility look the other way on this game. But if you like to feel like you are in the game....go right ahead and make this purchase. The control is something that I loved after hours of practice. Never before have I seen such a control interface that gives me so much control on a console effort. The only thing that I can remember that came close is NBA LIVE 99 on PSX. Another downfall-hey what happened to the multiplayer experience. The DC has 4 joystick ports.....at least put 2 of them to use. The N64 version had 2 players....why didn't they include this in the DC version. Overall great game with a great idea.Sound Oh my goodness! If you put this game on a Dolby prologic system you will get a pretty good feeling of realism. The sound on this game is what made me feel as if this game was all the more real. The sound of enemies losing life and your partners radioing for back up is absolutely amazing. However, the one down point I see (that really isn't a big deal) is that when I'm right next to someone, does it sound like they are talking to me through their radio. This kind of erked me but after a while it was definitely overcame. Without over coming this bridge I would have drowned and gave the sound a sorry score. It doesn't erk me that much any more.Gameplay After tackling the, what seems to be limitless control, the gameplay was absolutely excellent. Never before have I had this much control over a game before. This is what I live for "control" If only they had some stealth like options like scaling the wall and sneaking up behind someone and breaking their neck a'la MGS.Would you like to Comment?

It has a great combination of action, tactical warfare and the kind of excitment that helped make RE:CV so good. Imagine peeking out of a window for a quick glance at the outer terrain and BLAM! glass shatters, red flash, you're dead. And that's just training! A lot of fun for any serious gamer looking for strategy and action.Sound If you've been lucky enough to play DOA2, RE:CV, or even Crazy taxi then you know exactly what not to expect. The sound effects fit where they must but thats about where it ends. Although the intro music is a little eery and does create a good effect for what lies ahead.Gameplay The gameplay takes some getting used to but overall it adds to the experience. The controls alone took about an hour of getting used to. And then there are the in-game options such as switching guns and sending go codes to the other teams. But considering it's a pc port that used the typical FPS layout they did a good job in this department.Would you like to Comment?

Summary The game is excellent. However, I can see how it would be very frustrating and boring to someone into shoot-em-ups. At first, learning the controls is terrible. I didn't know what "Change ROE" meant. I also didn't understand "Give Alpha Code" and so on. Some of the aspects of the game you must learn yourself. I still don't know what an eagle watch mission is. But once I got the hang of everything, the challenge of the game was so perfect that I still had fun when I lost. That way I could redirect my plan. I suggest it to anyone who loves strategy games.Sound I with the sounds of weapons were more versatile. There aren't many different sounds for the automatics. There are no footsteps or screams of death. However, I still feel immersed in the environment by ambient noise.Gameplay The tangos are aggravating. If you peak from the side of a wall in the dark 150 feet away, they might shoot you. And death is hard to avoid if you get hit. However, the caution you must take when playing due to fear of dying is awesome. You really feel like your out on the prowl. The planning phase can be fun, but only if you have experience with the mission. I find that if I plan on the map without playing the mission before, my plan is rather poor. But after that it's fun.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

I have been waiting since august 9th for it to come in. Overall I enjoy the game although the control is hard to get used to. Once you get the hang of it the game is a blast.I would recomend this game to anyone that enjoyed the PC version.Sound The only time you here sound is when one of your team members diesGameplay The gameplay is fantastic. I enjoyed all of the missions including the training missions. The missions were not as challenging as I expected.There should have been more missions added. Would you like to Comment?

On the plus side, it's nice to have to put some thought into a game, and it's a lot of fun to try various ways to complete a mission. But, graphics are the worst yet for the Dreamcast, and load times are excruciatingly long. Also, the game can crash, and sometimes the A.I. leaves a lot to be desired.Sound Sound is fine. The sound effects are good, and the music is sparse, but that's no problem.Gameplay First of all, I never played the PC version. As for the Dreamcast gameplay, keep the 'manual' handy for a while; you're going to need it to keep track of the controls. Gameplay is cool, except that sometimes it doesn't work. I've had my teams split up, I've had members get stuck climbing a trellis, etc. You can only control the leader of each team, which can be a big drawback. For the most part, though, the game is great. You'll be able to do a lot of experimenting with your mission plans, too, which is kewl. I wish there was some way to just watch what another team was doing while controlling the other.Would you like to Comment?

The graphics look better than the PC version and the inclusion of Eagle Watch (the expansion pack) was pretty neat.It's a good game, but I'm not sure if it was worth the wait. Sound There was sound? Actually the sound is pretty good. The music has that whole "The Rock" feel to it and the guns make realistic noises.Gameplay The gameplay has quite sloppy control and the AI doesn't appear to have been improved from the PC version. How is one supposed to AIM, Walk and shoot at a bad guy on a DC controller? It would be alright on a PC keyboard but this is console gaming!The 2-4 player modes are very neat. Especially considering you can take on the single player missions with your friends. Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary Poor graphics and a difficult control scheme detract from an otherwise great game.Sound The sound is rather basic and somewhat repetitive. This game has none of the neat, stereo sound effects that many new Dreamcast titles have. The sound effects could be used to give the player additional information in the game, such as the general location of an advisary. It's too bad they missed this great opportunity to enhance the game.Gameplay The gameplay is excellent. This isn't just a run-around-and-shoot game. You've got to plan each assault carefully, and proceed slowly through it. Move too quickly at the wrong time, and you could end up dead. This mix of planning and action gives R6 a lot of replay value and makes it an interesting game. The controls can take a while to master though; initially, the game isn't nearly as fun because of this. If you can stick with it through this learning curve, it can be a blast.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Rating Reviewed By Tai AnarkyFrom Los Angeles Review Date 05/16/2000 Overall Rating 4 of 5 Rate this review? Summary All said Rainbow6 for Dreamcast is bangin'!!! It takes a little getting used to at first especially in the control since all the keyboard/mouse functions of the Pc had to be crammed into the DC control pad but once you play through a couple of missions they become instinctive. Keep in mind though this is not Golden eye and if you think you are just going to run through blasting away think again!! this game is strategic/action at its best!! pick it up!Sound The sound is excellent as all the sounds of gunplay are here from the burst of a semiautomatic rifle to the explosion of a grenade. And need i mention that the agonized screems of your teamates as they come underfire are here too. walie talkie chatter amongst teamates is in here as you will here your teamates call for back up or man down if a teamate is killed. The sound here seeks to emerse you even more into the world of R6 AMD SUCCEDS WONDERFULLY!!Gameplay The gameplay on this game is what really stands out! from the beginning of the mission you have total control of the R6 team from their movements and activities,the weapons and equipment and even uniforms and of course you chose which team members go on the mission or just jump in on the default plan and dive in either way you will be okay! and in case you need to polish up on your skills their is a training mode to get into with multiple missions to get used to the control scheme! What I like is how the game seeks to emerse you in Reality, for example, when you seek to enter a door you gotta either pick the Lock which takes several seconds or for a quicker breach shotgun the door now thats real!!! and as always your missions involve rescuing hostages or taking out terriorist and the such trust me its very addictive palnning out a mission only to have it succed(you can save succesfull missions!)what a feeling! THE ONLY THING IS THAT THIS GAME TAKES A LOT OF TIME ESPECIALLY IN THE PLANNING PHASE! IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME BUT.......Would you like to Comment?

My store has started calling this game Rainbow Sux....or Rainblow Six or....well, you get the idea.The worst aspect of the game? The control. Zero out of 5. One of the cool things about this game on the PC was the ability to map out the plethora of commands on a 104 key keyboard. That works with a keyboard. That doesn't work with a gamepad. Sound 2 out of 5. Fair. Serviceable. Mediocre.Gameplay 2 out of 5. Missions are good and the planning stages are interesting (as are the stories behind the scenarios). But we've seen this all before. Zero points for creativity. Note to developers: delay a game all you want IF you're not just going to port an already existing game.Would you like to Comment?

Sure, it has no multiplayer, but it has a great single player aspect. I have never played this game for any other system but Dreamcast (well except for the PC demo which was very short), so I am a new-commer to the R6 series and I love it! Overall, its a great game and anybody looking for a FPS on the DC that involves some strategy (like sniping from a distance), GET THIS GAME. Dont wait for Quake 3 or Half-Life for the DC when you can get R6 right now!Sound The sound is nothing too spectacular in this game. The gunshots sound nice, and environmental effects are cool. It doesnt really have background music while you are playing which is a good thing because it adds to the effect that you are really a special forces member sneaking into a building submerged in Terrorists.Gameplay First, it will load up a PLANNING SESSION. I am not too big of a fan on planning out my missions (you could say i am lazy i guess..) so I just skip right on through the planning session and move on the the ACTION mode in the game. From what i have attempted to do with the Planning Session was pretty cool, I could do ALOT of stuff! For me, I just let the game plan out the missions for me, and then i PLAY it strategically. The Already made plan that it has for me seems to work well everytime! The gameplay is really deep and very,very cool.Would you like to Comment?
