Product ReviewsTom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (Xbox, 2003)

Ding does it again

This game is really good. It is alot like Rainbow Six 3 but with some new features. The graphics are good but not quite like HALO 2 but still pretty realistic. If you enjoyed the other Rainbow Six games you know what to expect, It is a game where you are on a SWAT or Anti Terror Team and you rescue hostages, destroy targets or disarm bombs and it is all done very well. You can even give commands to your squad with the headset and this makes it really immersive. Another thing that is good is when you go on Xbox LIVE you get FREE multiplayer maps. There are alot of different gameplay types and that adds alot to the replay. this is one great tactical shooter. Like I said DING does it again....I recommended it.Read full review...

Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow, just a few thoughts...

Game was always a little choppy in online mode but still a great FPS in offline play. There is a little bit of reasoning work that needs to be done to complete the Campaign modes, and the enemy AI isn't fantastic but decent enough to hand you your butt when you're not expecting it. Even your insertion team isn't all that great, taking much longer than needed at times to clear a room after a flash, frag or breaching charge. It's worth keeping in your library though. If you're a fan of First Person Shooters, then RB63 BA is definitely a great choice. Still lots of fun and if you have an XBox live account people are still playing it online occasionally as of Sept. 2008. --- Having a microphone definitely helps for online play.Read full review...

Now you see the terrorist...........now you don't

I have to say I really enjoyed this game. Not too technical or complicated and really fun to play. This was the first squad based shooter I played where you lead your squad of three other members on 14 counter terrorism missions all over the world. I thought the graphics were good as were the sounds of the game. A game like this needs to be played in surround sound if you have it. The enemies are not hard to hit, but with your surroundings and number of bad guys to come at you and your team, I think this makes up for it.
You are in control of Team Rainbow and your job is to take out a terrorist organization threatening the peace between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, who controls oil from that region.
This game also allows for voice commands through the xbox headset which I did not get the chance to play but sounds cool. The game has a rating of Mature (17+) on account of blood and violence.
If you want to be a part of securing the world and help defeat terrorist all over the world this game is for you. One of the first in the Tom Clancy series and still a favorite to play.
You have your mission, go get'em.Read full review...

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (Xbox)

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 for the Xbox system is one of the best games in the Rainbow Six series. The gameplay and the story line is very thrilling. You must lead your team through missions where you never know where the terrorists could be hiding. They could be on the rooftops, behind a turned over car, or taking cover behind some rubble. The choice of weapons is cool and the night and thermal vision is very helpful. Whether you play alone or online, it is an exciting and edge of your seat thrill ride all the way through. The controls are very easy to get use to. The scenery and sounds and voices make it seem like you are right there with the team. Very cool game for any gamer who likes team shooters or anti-terrorism games. Recommended for anyone who likes to feel like he or she is in a real life war against terrorists. Once you start playing, it will be hard to put the controller down. I remember the first time I played it. I thought "wow, what an awesome game! This is what a terrorist-hunting, world-saving, team shooter game should be like." When you and your team open doors co-operatively and rescue hostages, you get this feeling of pride and accomplishment. Chills went through me when my team and I rescued the first hostage. What a gripping game!! Very well made. Hopefully more great games like this will be made in the future. These are the kinds of games that really make you love this country. It would be very cool to be in an elusive team such as Rainbow. Stopping treats from foreign enemies. You will enjoy this game a whole lot. 5 stars. One of my top 10 favorite games.Read full review...

A Must Have

This game is absolutely perfect. While the character models and environment seem outdated, we must remember that this game launched in late 2003. If you have a headset, you can actually give commands to your team such as "Open, Flash and Clear".. if you said it clearly, your team (campaign mode) will execute the order (remember to do the training before you jump into campaign). Multiplayer is a blast and yes, even though this game is infact over 5 years old, alot of people do play Rainbow Six 3 at night. This game is alot of fun and during the weekday and weekend I rotate between RS3 and Halo 3. Games just dont get better than this. This game also works for the xbox 360. Give this game a shot. I'm extremely glad I did back in 2003 and now that my friend is getting xbox live, I went ahead and got him a copy. I paid 4 dollars and 50 cents for his copy and I still think that my 50 dollar investment is worth every penny. You will enjoy this classic for awhile. Give this game a shot. If your decent at First Person Shooters.. you'll like this one. Peace

Tango down!

This game was way too much fun! I've always been a fan of Tom Clancy's game series, though I have to admit - I haven't read any of the books that inspire the games. I loved the original Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, and now this piece of perfection. The enemy AI is intense, the weapons and combat are realistic, and the online play is smooth and seamless. This game is a must-have for any PC or Xbox owner. You get a lengthy campaign full of characters to form a team from, an arsenal of real weapons, and a cool set of gear to increase your chances of survival on the battlefield. Make sure to check out the online play as well - it offers a whole new world of tactile combat!Read full review...

One classic game that's hard to die.

What can I say about Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (Xbox).........
'FANTASTIC!'

I loved this game the first time I played it some years ago.
Yes the graphics are outdated compared to newer games today but class and distinction can never be outdated.

The game has you on edge from the get go.
Battling terrorists,securing hostages, choosing weapons before and during a game and so much more.

Moving your team through several dangerous events at every turn. You can command your team in many different strategic ways.
It's like a different episode each time you play.

I can't tell you how many times I and sometimes my whole team have gotten wiped out by terrorists but I just reload and start again.

Hours and hours of nail biting fun and excitement.

Truly a collectors item.Read full review...

Excellent Game

This game brings you into hard combat with terrorists, while you try to rescue hostages, and disrupt the terrorists evil plans.
This game has excellent graphics, and very good game play. You can fight the terrorists in single player with your squad, or take the war to the terrorists in co-op split-screen with a buddy.

Tips: Stay away from red barrels, they can explode and kill you. Shoot at the red barrels when an enemy is close to it, the barrel will explode and kill the enemy.

This is a very good game to add to your collection.Read full review...

This was a pretty good shooter. It was very intense.

I liked that there were many elements of stealth used in the game. You dont just go out in the open and start shooting, but have to take cover and hide. It was a very challenging game, but a good game. I would recommend it.Read full review...

Not as good as Rainbow 1 and two

very hard game even on easiest mode. Only 480 resolution will not fill the modern screen. seems like the developer went backwards from rainbow 1 and 2.
