Rating: Summary: Simply Awesome Review: As soon as I got this game I found myself playing it for hours. It has now been several months and I am still working it. The graphics and simulations are very real. I especially liked the mission aboard the Boeing 747. This game should be a "must have" for anyone who enjoys constant action in a game while narrowly cheating death.
Rating: Summary: Great game. Review: Rainbow Six, and its sequel Rouge Spear are the first games in a long time to give a good realstic FPS experience. (Seal team is the only other one that I know of, and thats far in the past). The game is played either from first person, or from a slightly behind and above third person view. You are a covert operative in the hidden organazation known as Rainbow. In single player you must plan the missons every step of the way for every team. There are up to four teams, each of which may have up to four members. The planing is very difficult, and can take hours for each misson. The game supplies you with a plan for each misson which is workable, but not great. When the action actually comes you can either lead up one of the teams, switching between team leaders at any time, or view it as an observer giving the go commands. A very difficult, but rewarding experience. There are many training areas to get you ready for all aspects of the game, and a wonderful manual so you don't have to worry about not knowing how to do anything. This game truly shines in multiplayer. There are numerous maps to choose from, and an extreme variety of weapons. It is very realistic, so one round to the chest or head that penatrates your armour is a death blow. Most rounds only last for a few minutes though, so you will be back in action in no time. There are many modes of play availible. You can use a sniper rifle on sniper only servers, or a fully automatic assault rifle to charge your opponents. The learning curve for online play is generally small once you learn the basics of movement, and weapons handling. You will need a very good connection to the internet though. 56k is a bit slow...and could get you booted from a server. If you have a line that can pull down 100k or more a second, you will be fine for sure. Overall, a great game. Very difficult in single player, and truly rewarding in online play. This is my personal favorite online FPS. A must have for any fan of realism, military, and computer games. Be warned however, you will surely be up in to the wee hours of the morning.
Rating: Summary: No game should be this good Review: Dear god, this is what tactical simulations are all about. If you're looking for a shooter, go play Quake. If spending hours plotting, planning, and orchestrating every aspect of a tactical assault sounds like fun, then this is the game for you. Unbelievable graphics, realism. One of the most intense games I've ever played. Don't forget to pick up Rainbow 6 Gold -first-. You'll be glad you did.
Rating: Summary: Its Good Review: Ok I bought this game almost a year ago and I still play it but it does get tiring. The best thing about the game is when you play online at the zone it is worth it but now I am sick of it. I put a 3 ecause I am tired of playing it now but when I first got it it would have been a 5. If you want details then it has good graphics no problems and thats all.
Rating: Summary: Pure Class... Review: This is one of the most realistic, well planned, action packed games I have ever played! Sweet grapics, decent gameplay, thorough realisim, it all adds up to this brilliant package. You can't get better if you want a game that requires you to think as well as kick ... .I'm only on the 3rd level and I consider this game one of the best I have. Buy this now.
Rating: Summary: All Teams Move out! Review: I've played realistic games (ie medal of honor, Falcon 4.0) and this one takes the cake. It provides excellent artificial intelligence with extreme realism and accurate weapon effects. No power-ups, no ability to take 40-50 shots, and no medkits, it's like you're actually there taking out terrorist. With a "watch mode", sniper support, training, multiplayer and a dynamic 18 mision campaign, I highly reccomend this game to anyone who will dish out the cashola to buy it.
Rating: Summary: WATCH OUT when buying this for Laptop use!! Review: Okay -- So I bought this program yesterday, happy as a clam. I installed it on my Sony Vaio laptop last night (P3, 650 MHz, 256K RAM, 12gig HD) and it ran like glue! I called Red Storm this morning to try and figure this problem out, and the conversation got nasty quickly. My call ended with someone named 'Zeke' stating 'we don't support laptops'. It turns out, in a round-about way, that most laptops CAN'T support the 3D graphics of such programs. Nothing of this sort is stated on the box -- just an obscure reference, 'check our website for supported graphics cards'. How could anyone reasonably expect that this program wouldn't run on a smokin' multi-media laptop?? They couldn't! Thus, I am STUCK with this program. No returns, no refunds, nothing. The tech-support people expected me as a normal consumer to have complex knowledge of the video drivers in my laptop -- something the sales rep. at the store didn't even have! Also, the tech. guy said as long as the program booted, regardless of the run-quality of the program, Red Storm viewed this as a quality sale. WHATEVER -- that's like selling a car that will drive, but not over 30 MPH!!! Okay then -- buy this program at your own risk -- because Red Storm certainly won't help you after the sale. -- a disgruntled user
Rating: Summary: Accurate, Realistic, and Very Exciting!! Review: I spent a few years in the military (US Army Long Range Recon), and I'm very critical of military simulators that say they're the most realistic around, but aren't. I had heard a lot of Rogue Spear before I bought it, downloaded a demo, and was curious enough to purchase the real thing since the demo seemed to be acute. I must say, it's worth every penny!! The realism is spectacular--kudos to the motion capture that was done in the game (even if the bad guys die a Hollywood style death). The weapons , equipment, and their uses are on the mark, along with a lot of the moves (hand and arm signals, callsigns)that are done by the operators in the game. The missions are outstanding, with an unfolding storyline as you move forward through each one. The only downside to this game is the lag time when you change from training, single player (or any of the other options) to another menu. Also, the operators get stuck in tight corners. That needs to be fixed. Beyond that, the game itself is quite strong. I wouldn't be surprised if D-Boys down in Fort Bragg play this game for training purposes (and you know who you are!!). Overall, the best counter-terrorist game on the market today. Get it while you can!! Out!!
Rating: Summary: WOAH.... Goodbye Delta Force! Review: Rogue Spear is a very cool game... It's gaming-style is similar to Delta Force but it has much more depth, interaction and is more exciting. First of all, theres the wide range of uniforms, weapons and characters to choose from. Also, after each successful mission, you get an awesome full sized screen shot that you can print out by pressing Print Screen on your keyboard and pasting it into any document. It's realistic, with enemies that duck, hide, surrender and much more. The missions are preceded by briefings that you can actually UNDERSTAND and profiles of the enemy organization. The environment is just like being there, with sandstorms in Oman and rain and thunder in Kosovo to name a few.... What can I say, the only thing that could possibly beat it is actually joining the army :).
Rating: Summary: Best Action Game EVER = Rogue Spear Review: This is the only game I have ever played that actually made me break out into a cold sweat during gameplay. It will make you jump out of your seat when you get shot by a terrorist. Very realistic. If you are sick of quake-like games which take almost no intelligence to play (i.e. all you do is hold down the trigger) then this game is for you. You must observe your target's well or you are toast. It makes you feel like you are actually in the field with your finger on the trigger.
