Finally! apparently train station and Prison shackled times are coming very soon as well.

Ali, you only got bored of Rainbow Six 3 after two weeks because you played it continuously; night and day if I recall correctly... as you've done with many Live games. And don't lie, because you're on my friends list and I could see you.
I have no problem with Rainbow Six 3 as it is, and any free downloads that come my way are merely a bonus.

I suppose. Perhaps they were not the best examples. Metroid Prime would have been a better one.
And as for not finishing Wind Waker, don't worry about it. Not worth it.

True but Zelda and KOTOR etc didn't take me a couple of days to complete and in the case of the former (thanks to bloody Burnout 2) I am yet to finish it.
Thing is though Ali, how many games after beating them do most people replay? Viewtiful Joe, finished, no replay value. Same with Wind Waker! In fact it goes for almost all games, bar strategy games and RPGs where you have lots of different ways to do something.
It takes a very special game to give replay value when the game itself is linear, like a first person shooter.

Single player mode took me a couple of days on all difficulties along with Terrorist hunt mode. 0 replay value after finishing it on all difficulties which is why the LIVE play was crucial and although it was awesome whilst it lasted it was the only Xbox game I had an interest in and after being promised all the new downloads it turned into yet 'another' Xbox LIVE p*ss take.
Yes endless hours but only 2 weeks of play until I was completely bored sh*tless along with a lot of other people.

That is true, to an extent. But a lot of people today don't have gaming PC's. Now I do, you do, a whole load of us on here do; but then most gamers don't end up posting on forums either. By the same token, many top games on any platform are multiformat. I never listed those games to prove that the Xbox was better than any other platform, but rather that it had those gamse that were worth playing and were worth getting if you had an Xbox.

It has a good single player mode, and an addictive multiplayer. It is accomplished. It just doesn't quite have enough I feel. However if you have played the PC version you would realise that the Xbox one is superior in the actual game play department as PC Rainbow Six 3 is more like the original and Rogue Spear.

Ali, I don't particularly care how the game plays on PC, or how much cheaper it is - because to play it, I'd have to spend copius amounts of cash upgrading my computer.
Fact is, I feel satisfied with my purchase of Rainbow Six 3 for the Xbox; I feel I've spent a good £29.99. The main game is good fun, and Live provides countless possibilities and many more hours of enjoyment - who'd have thought playing the same level from the same spawn about fifteen times in a row could be so continually entertaining?
So there. If Ubi Soft had cut corners in the production of the game, perhaps releasing it unfinished with the excuse that Live content downloads will make up for what hasn't been done, then I would be annoyed with the time delays. As it is however, I don't have a problem.

Halo, Deus EX 2, KOTOR, ESPN Hockey all multiformat, hardly a great selling point for those with PC's they use for gaming.
Also Mav, Rainbow Six 3 isn't already an accomplished game. The PC version has 30 + maps including ones people have made and the new Athena Sword add-on pack adds 10 more overall. Considering you can get both cheaper than the Xbox versoin on its own I hardly tink UbiSoft Montreal would be pushed to even port some of the PC maps, their simply isn't enough.
