Rainbow Six is a awesome stealth fighting game. The graphics are great, with lots of texture and color. However, the buildings and people are a bit chunky. The sound is fine and the voices are good. It is really fun, but the somewhat difficult control can be annoying. It is a big game, so you will probably be playing for a long time, and there is also a multiplayer mode over LAN which would be really fun, making the lasting appeal good. The entire game is putting together groups, planning the strategy, choosing weapons and characters, and finally, sneaking around the enemy's base and keeping an eye open for enemies. The entire view is from the leader's eye, and is through a gun sight. This is a bit hard to control, but it comes in handy because you can aim immediatly. The controls are well laid out and straight forward. Also, you can shut off stuff like blood, so it isn't gorey at all. Your missions are normally rescuing good guys and infiltrating enemy bases. This is an awesome game, so if you are a fan of stealth fighting, or if you read Tom Clancy's book, this game is not going to disappoint. Also check out Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, the sequel to Rainbow Six.
