"Rainbow 6 3"

What do those of you who have it think of it, as I am in 2 minds whether to get it or not.

Just one thing, if people complained that Ghost Recon was poor because the AI units picked off the enemy long before the player could engage them, then how is this any different ? At least on Ghost Recon you had a whole team to play with, but if you die in R6 then it's game over.

Hmmm.

3 words:

Buy. Rainbow. Six. 3.

("3" doesn't count as a word :D)

Pikey loves R6. Mmmm he does!

The difference being Ghost Recon is crap and Rainbow Six 3 isn't. Quite simple.

hey ali, free up a space in that game , i can't get in! lol

Wouldn't bother man everyone is going in a minute. There are spaces open me thinks.

Alastair nailed it.

No pikey business for you then? eh?

So far I wouldn't rate this on par with Ghost Recon.

It's really limited, essentially an FPS where you send the AI members of the team to do the dirty work and mop up after them, plus the level design is basic and seems done with numerous set pieces to allow the use of the Zulu code.

Any sniper tactics are limited in single player to you choosing a sniper rifle and moving forward alone.

I'm sorry, but to me this is another example of OXM becoming rather overenthusiastic with their reviewing, I've played Wallace and Gromit more than I have this.

Ghost Recon single player is about as entertaining as a dose of herpees from a mongolian fish trader. Online it's okayish, but to be honest it isn't a patch on Rainbow Six 3.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is either smoking something very strong, or just completly insane and likes stupidly dull games.

"OOooh let's set way points and be overly realistic and doing so be stupidly boring....no I'd rather blow sh-t up with sweet looking guns and have FUN"
