Summary: a must by game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The lates addition to the Tom Clancy game series is great. When raven shield came out it had the best graphics that I had seen in a long time. The expansion is even better. People complain about not being able to climb up on things like in the earlier games. But in this game, if you are taking the time to do that, you will probley be shot. But you opinion is your opinion! I also HATE all those game publishers that try to copy the same idea.(ex. Swat 3)All-in-all if you like Tom Clancy you will like this game. Also look for Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm(I dont think it is out yet but it is comming)Last they are making a Rianbow Six movie!

Summary: Be Warned
Review: This expansion pack to Ravenshield promises a lot.

Unfortunately, as with Ravenshield they have only partly delivered. RVS was a single player game with huge multiplayer potential. Sadly, several bugs made the game highly frustrating, and changes from patch to patch had a huge impact on multiplayer performance.

The company UBI promised dedicated server versions both Win32 and (more importantly) Linux. More than 6 months later, there is still no sign of these. They told us they were releasing an SDK.. No sign of that either.

There are a few people concerned that this upcoming expansion will largely be a pay-for-play patch to the existing games with a handful of new weapons. Personally I think that this expansion could be the shot-in-the-arm, that this game needs.. but only if UBI deliver it with the SDK and Dedicated Servers.

To keep up to date with the progress of Ravenshield and Athena Sword, I can recommend that you visit UBI's General Ravenshield Forum at http://forums.ubi.com/messages/overview.asp?name=us_ravenshield_gd

Summary: Read this before you buy this game.
Review: This game has major problems if you're buying it for your PC. Ubi.com has many patches you can download but after 2 weeks the game still won't run on my PC which meets all the criteria it asks for. Before buying check www.ubi.com message boards to see all the problems people are having with this game. I have the other Rainbow Six games and haven't had any problem with them.

Summary: IM VERY UPSET
Review: UBI for all the hype you spread on this expansion pack it was not worth the 30 I paid for it. The maps lag really bad. Just like the other people said before I get 30-70 FPS on maps but the maps from athena only get 10-15 max and that makes for very poor game play. About the only thing i say is nice from athena is the CTE game mode.

From a very upset loyal raven shield player my loyalty is wearing thin very thin.

Summary: 3 Stars - Online Multiplayer only
Review: What you get for online multiplayer with this expansion are 3 things: New weapons, new maps and new play modes. While the expansion is good, it has a 'rushed out the door' feel. For example, there is a problem in multiplayer in which both sides are wearing the same color clothing on some maps. One will be solid blue, the other will be blue camo. This should have been picked up on.

The maps are very attractive and of high quality, however there are odd spots in which you have to use ladders and open doors differently than in RS (you have to back away or aim at a specific spot on the door). Not a good thing to have when you are trying to hurry to a choke point. Hopefully these gets fixed.

The new weapons are interesting, but as mentioned before, one points at an odd angle, and many firing sounds seem to be muted.

The new game play modes are what really carry this expansion. While initially I was not interested in these at all, the capture the enemy game mode have my friends and I addicted. It was nice to get a positive surprise, especially with some of the minor let downs concerning the other areas of the game. Still, this mode is not without its problems as well. If you get handcuffed and are subsequently flashbanged, get used to the ringing sound, because it won't end until the round does.

I bought this only for the online play. I have no idea what the single player campaign offers.

If the patches that have been promised fix the problems present, RS:AS is a 4 star expansion. As is, the expansion rates a 3.

Summary: Miles too easy
Review: Yes I a big fan of the Rainbow 6 series, so I waited in anticipation to play this game. Well I was able to complete it in less than one day the 8 new missions, that was to have my team wiped out once or twice and then completing the level without so much as a scratch. Graphics, Sounds were fantastic, but this add on is miles to easy. Folks save your money and forget this offering.
