massively multiplayer

First off thanks for readin my review!! Ill start with the fact that if you like 1st person shooters with superb graphics this is probally the game for you. RS3 (Rainbow Six 3) is a VERY realistic game as far as weapons and the amount of "health" you have. Its not one of thse games that takes 100 shots to kill you, it plays much like ghost recon (3 or 4 shots to die). Except it is a bit goreier and the graphics are MUCHHH better!! The lighting and detail is almost as good as Splinter Cell (another award winning Tom Clancey title) . Heres a list of the graphics and gameplay, (in my opinion)

Gameplay: 10, varies depending weather or not you are on Xbox live, there might be a little lag depending on the server.

Immersion: Easily 10, its MUCH better if you can play it on Xbox live.

Graphics: 9, some of the bodies look a little flat but besides that it great!! Perfect attention to detail!!

One final thing I MUST mention is the absolute wonder of this game when you play it on Xbox live!! Its AWESOME to play this game over Xbox live!!

So far I have only played through part of the single player portion of this game but I can already say that it is one of the best first person shooters I have ever played! To start off, the game has excellent graphics, very similar to Splinter cell. In fact, you can call this game "team splinter cell" with the high tech gadgets replaced with great weaponry! The weapons in this game will cause you to drool...All of the best assualt rifles, sub-machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades & grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns make it into the arsenal for rainbow.
I am also amazed by all the team commands you can give to your other 3 team members. Entering a room has never been better.... such as blowing the door down, using a flashbang entry, frag entry, or just opening the door guns blazing. It's really cool! The single player campaign is similar in style to splinter cell, but it's a lot more realistic & believable and of course more action packed.
Now the only gripe I had with rainbow were the controls. Placing the target on an enemy is a little difficult, because the joystick seems slightly sensitive on the xbox controller. But other than that, the game is near perfect! And that's just the single player! I have yet to play it against a friend or on LIVE. If the single player is this good, then I am more than sure the multi-player & online play is excellent. Definitly worth getting!!!

This game was actually pretty good, its right up there with Ghost Recon. The only thing i hated about this game(and why it wont get 5 stars) is that there was no split screen co op mode like in Halo or Ghost Recon. Still a very good game but u may want to rent it first.
