    Top tactical shooter, a new leap for mister clancy, he really rules over the rest. Andrew Harrison AKA mad man.

    A serious thrill ride, if you play games online than you HAVE to own this game. The replay value of the game is limitless, and the graphics are so realistic that I actually get a huge adrenaline rush within minutes.

    People are making a mistake when they say that this is a game. Its not. Its an experience! The one that makes you want to feel every time you die so you can enjoy it even more when you enter the mission again. It sure has some flaws like an unrealistically ruthless precision of terrorist weapons and a stupid hostage AI but not rating this game with 10 would be something I would be ashamed of. This game is a legend that will always be playable so therefore... "Alpha... Go, go, go!" Expand

    This is very similar to Rogue Spear and the 1st Rainbow Six, but it has a lot better graphics, sound, and new missions. This is my favorite shooter of all time, quite realistic. Ubisoft tech support sucks. I bought this game at Best Buy and the CD was corrupted (CRC error), the tech support guy basically told me "Oh well, it's no longer in print" Fortunately, I found an old ISO of it. No thanks to Ubisoft! Expand

    The terrorists are freakin' commandos. They shoot you dead with one shot a pistol when you have a full armor. Lack of realism.

    I just played the multiplayer demo for this today and I was very impressed. I tried out the P90,USP,and the SSG-3000 and it was amazing, so anyone who is dieing to play this game play it quick before you die.

    By far the greatest rainbow six game out of the three (not including vegas). This game gave me hours upon hours of enjoyment. As a long time tom clancy fan i have enjoyed all rainbow six games, but 3 has definitly taken the cake, They have prefected this game from the previous ones in so many ways that you will play for hours. The missions are great and diverse, ranging from hostage rescue, elimination, bomb disarment etc. The planning of each mission is great letting you customise each members layout and waypoint. The only thing that bugged me is sometimes a single terrorist can wipe out your whole team that is under your command or the AI's, but besides that I found this to be one of the best tactical shooters, much better then SWAT series Expand

    Quite possibly the best tactical shooter of all time. Only downsides are the main menu being capped to 640x480, the crappy AIs (Team in particular, they always find a new way to get shot and fail the mission) and of course the global damage physics. Few games where you can kill someone by repeatedly shooting their feet can be taken seriously, thankfully this is one of those exceptions. Would simply LOVE a Raven Shield 2, I just hope it doesn't end up like Vegas or something, the new R6 titles are an embarrassment to fantastic tactical shooters like this. Expand

  1. It’s by far the best-looking and most-realistic game in the series, and finally begins to deliver the team-based tactical gameplay its predecessors haven’t quite pulled off.
  2. Simply the best tactical shooter on the market. The high level of detail and the wealth of options offer a great amount of replay potential.
  3. 90
    Everything’s been upgraded and/or redone to make tactical team gameplay as cohesive and fun as the series has always been. Just make sure you have a powerful machine to enjoy every aspect of the game.
