Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six combines strategy and first-person gaming with great graphics. As the leader of an antiterrorist unit, you must successfully complete a series of 16 missions. For each, you choose the members of your assault team and select weaponry and equipment. Artificial intelligence controls the actions and movements of the other members of your team and of your terrorist objectives. Your first reaction may be to get on with the game and shortcut the essential planning, but that way leads to defeat.
Movement is smooth, sound effects are realistic, and the background music adds to the suspense.
A fairly difficult game, Rainbow Six rewards your time and effort with a high degree of realism and involvement.
