  • Summary: The next installment in the Rainbow Six series introduces a new single-player experience featuring advanced equipment and new storylines. This time, you can play as either Ding Chavez (the leader of Team Rainbow) or Dieter Weber (a sniper in charge of covering his team's movement). You must lead your counterterrorist unit into unfamiliar territory to battle a bioterrorist threat. Rainbow Six 3 also features online multiplayer modes, including the PS2-exclusive rivalry mode and the Xbox-exclusive career mode. Expand

  1. If you don't have Xbox Live then you aren't going to get the full package, it's as simple as that.

    And to top it all off, Lockdown features Lifetime channel–style scenes that do their damnedest to to make you think of your squad mates as real pals instead of the "meat shields" they really are.
  3. I dare anyone to put some time into learning the maps and modes, leveling up their avatar, and argue that this is anything but one of the best online titles on consoles. [Nov 2005, p.166]
  4. The game is worth a few nights of frantic firefights and stat building with some friends for co-op, but ultimately, if you don't mind the graphics, you should stick with "Black Arrow." It's just more fun, and way cheaper.

    most people who play this game dont take the time to learn all the little things that help you out, like hiding spots and out thinking your oponent. kids online coming from halo expect to run strait at someone and kill them without dying themselves and i admit that does work sometimes but its not the way this game is meant to be played.

    An average shooter from the once master of squad based tactical FPS. A let down that got sent back to the shot the same day.

    Yay, the sluggish look system has been fixed. Boo, all the weapons we know and love have been replaced with weird, futuristic guns that look more like 1950s sci-fi lasers. Too arcadey to be of any use to a RS fan, too real to be of any use to an arcadey fan. Should have just fixed RS3 and Black Arrows problems, made some new missions and added some new guns...not these bulky plastic boxes with barrels, clips, handles and triggers taped to them. And taking over the cheats with some stupid unlock system is the biggest insult. So now if your having trouble, youre pretty much at an impasse as you cant play further to get the points to unlock the cheats you needed...DERP! Expand
