Summary: Hot like a spicy pepper
Review: This game is hot! With 3 missions 7 training maps Its crazy. also whats very important you can download two extra mission-maps to play on Covert Ops but theres only one site you can get it from. it has a training CD that you can learn from the experts. If you have this game don't be bummed with three missions E-mail me at vikingsrule1@msn.com and i'll give you the site name to download the two maps. As for training maps not bad a little small. With 8 handguns 24 regular guns and 21 camo suits hot dang a must get for the Pc gamer who knows what he wants. Graphics are a little better not really a visible differnce. the rating of this game From The IGN officials is 8.4 not bad for a R6 game

Summary: Best game in the world.Except for..........
Review: This game is one of the best games I've ever payed.But, there are only three levels.Also there are less weopons.There are two disc, but one is a training disc.All it has you do is read and take test.If you stick to the mission disc the game is perfectly fine.Besides the training disc and there only being three levels it is the bet game ever.

Summary: Covert Ops - A Joke
Review: This is the worst buy you could make. Look at the price of the game and ask yourself if the cost is worth 3 missions. That's right, this game ends after the third mission. Save your money - do not buy this game.

Summary: Rainbow Six Covert Operations
Review: This was the first Rainbow Six game I got, and when I opened the package I was a little confused. There were two disks, so I thought you needed both to play this game, but you don't. One disc has the game on it and the other disc is filled with stuff to learn all you ever wanted to know about covert operations and counter-terror tactics, etc. It's quite interesting and it's divided up into different lessons, although you don't need to go through this CD in order to play the game.
Here is why I gave this game four stars: I downgraded it because of the actual game. The box says "9 new missions", but 6 of them aren't really missions, they are the equivelent to practice levels and 3 are actually missions. So really what you get is 3 mission levels and 6 not-mission levels...whatever. For that I was almost tempted to give it 3 starts but because of disc two, I didn't. I thought they put a lot of work into the education disk, and it was put in such a creative manner for those who are interested in learning. For that I bumped it up a star.
Overall: If you're thinking of buying this game, think of it as buying something along the lines of Microsoft Encarta, Covert style. With that mindset, you wont be disappointed and thus, the 3 missions and 6-kinda missions will seem like an added bonus.

Summary: A Comment from One of the Developers
Review: To all those who are interested in this product:My name is Duncan McPherson, and I work for Magic Lantern Playware... the team that produced the training CD for Red Storm Entertainment. Personally, I know that many hard-core gamers are going to be confused and/or disappointed by this product simply because of the fact that it is a little light in the "new levels" department. I will even venture to say (my *own* opinion here, not that of Magic Lantern) that the game -- while marketed well -- was not marketed *clearly* to the hard-core gaming audience. Here's a clarification: Covert Ops Essentials (COE) is designed first and foremost as a training pack. The information (in excess of 500,000 words, over 80 min. of videos, and multiple tests!) is designed to inform the game experience of the hard-core players. COE is also designed as a "gateway" product for those who have not yet entered the game world of "Rainbow Six." (Note that neither Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear are needed in order to play the mission pack included in the game.) Most importantly, however, it is a product designed for the Tom Clancy and/or Covert Operations fan who wishes to learn more about *real* covert operations and *real* special operations units... in many cases, from the source. COE then allows the individual to test her/his knowledge in the game world of Rainbow Six in six fine training levels and three fantastic "real world" levels. If you are expecting nine full-game levels or something similar, do not purchase this product. If, however, you wish to learn about *real* covert ops -and- to test your newfound knowledge within a few excellent Rainbow Six levels, then purchase this product, for you will not be disappointed. Covert Ops Essentials: The name says it all.

Summary: It's worth checking out!
Review: Well let me say, I was dissapointed that it had only 3 missions, and totally lacked the storyline of Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear. But, then I popped in the training CD, I was very impressed. It has in depth, long articles on special operations, videos with Tom Clancy in them, along with other people, actual police S.W.A.T. training videos. It was well worth the money, and multiplayer the new levels just plain rule. Being the grandson of a long time Police Officer, I can tell you, the studying and test taking is VERY close to what is done in real life. In the real certification tests, as in this game, you study large amounts of material, then take a multiple choice test. This is very well duplicated in this game. Am I dissapointed that there was no storyline and very few levels, yeah, but the training disk makes up for it. It's overall a great buy.
