Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

"This game makes you feel bad owning a Playstation"

When I first rented this game I thaught ''Wow!'' This game looks awesome!!!'', but, it turned out that this game makes you feel bad to own a Playstation. Here is a review of this pathetic game.

Graphics:2 Probably the worst problem (of all the other problems) in this game. First... lets talk about the polygons used to make the people in the game. THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!! The wrong use of polygons makes the people look de-formed. (And believe me... they DO look de-formed.) Also, the polygons have no texture what so ever, making them look very bland. Now... lets talk about the faces/heads of the people. First off... the faces aren't even made of polygons... so they don't match the rest of the body. (Only your teammates faces/heads are made of polygons.) The faces/heads never ever make any movement. They always have the mouth closed. They never grin... or even blink. And worst of all... the heads are too big for the body!!! Now lets talk about the backrounds. (The walls etc.) I have one word in mind... and that's HORRIBLE!!! All the objects are (usually) only one color, and have no texture.

Sound:7 The sound is probably the best aspect of the game (but still a problem.) Lets get this straight... the gun sound are good... and the backround sound is good... but the way people talk is horrible. For instance... when one of your teammates says ''I'm under fire.'' He sound REALLY melodramatic. If a real person was getting shot at he'll screem ''IM UNDER FIRE!!!''

Framerate:1 The frame rate of this game is BAD. REALLY REALLY BAD. When you turn around... the sorroundings chop like crazy. Same thing with the people. They chop too.

Gameplay:6 The game play is one of the best aspects of the game (but still a problem.) When you play the first level... it's kind of fun. Then you play the second level... kind of fun too. Then the third... its ok now. The problem is this game is all REPETITIVE. The missions are either: rescue hostages, disarm boms, or kill a person or persons. Also... the lack of numerous weapons and subweapons adds to the pile.

Replayability:7 This aspect is ok. The fact that you can start off in a certain area of the level is interesting... but definitly not enough to mak this game worth while.

Final Score:2 To tell you the truth... to me, this is one of the worst Playstation games ever. Even the begginning, and ending movie is BAD. If you like games that are horribly made... especailly bad graphics games, and like games that are very boring, buy this game. But... if you dont like horrible games (and 99% of us don't) THEN STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!!!! DON'T EVEN RENT IT!!!
