Been playing this for the last 2 hours and.......I don't really know what to say.

Single player is awful, I mean really dire stuff. Graphically the game looks like SWAT : Global Assault and it plays like it as well.

What the hell have Ubi done?

The whole game just feels like a PS2 game. It looks ugly, not a patch on Black Arrow and it all just feels badly made and cruddy to play.

I haven't tried it online though, hopefully it'll be a different story.

That's encouraging, as I only would have got it for the online mode. With my birthday on saturday, it seems likely that I'll get it.

Apart from the game looking graphically like a PS2 game, the online player creation mode is a hell of a lot of fun.

It's annoying as hell at firs**t, because jus**t like RPG's you can't shoot for sh*t until you get your power and accuracy up. But once you get those up it's a ton of fun.

Make sure you're on a team with decent people who all talk and you'll have an excellent time. With the new classes it really is a lot more tactical than any of the magazines have given it credit for. Certainly use a lot more tactics than I ever did for the firs**t 2 games.

All the missions were playable online weren't they? So why play with the AI if given the choice? There must be stuff to unlock in this one...

The only good thing to do on single player on RS3 was terrorist hunt in the Penthouse with just an Mk2.

I did that so many times.

Heh, I've spent a total of an hour on the single player in both Rainbow Six's.

Really not a great thing to play to get a measure of the game.
