Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear
Review by MSBbassist
"Rogue Spear is one game any fan of strategy and action will fall in love with."
As some people may know, Rainbow Six was a popular squad-based shooter on the PC. Rogue Spear was the followup to Rainbow Six, equally impressive. This is essentially a conversion to bring Rogue Spear to the GBA. They have already brought Rainbow Six to GBC with pretty good results. Rogue Spear is a SOLID game, and heres why...
Gameplay - 9
Gameplay in Rogue Spear is incredible. To sum it up, you control a squad of 4 operatives. Each operative can be of one of these 4 classes; assault, demolitions, recon, and sniper. Each group has different weapons and abilities. In addition you can chose from over 20 operations, each with their own stats, and also chose the camo color for the level ( I personally think that is purty cool ;) ). You move the operatives around killing people. disarming stuff, saving hostages, etc. The only reason I subtracted a point was because the controls can be complicated. It takes about a half hour to learn them. After that they don't bother you. But honesty people, what do you expect, its a complicated game ;).
Story - 7
Typical action plot. Bad guys steal nuke or try to make a nuke. But at least if you pay attention to Clark's briefings you get a entertaining story. They intertwine the Russian mafia with something! What could be better!
Graphics - 9
Great graphics. Top down isometric 45 degree angle. It works great. Everything looks like it should. Detailed rooms! YAY! You can even see the people reload and stuff and it looks really cool! You'll understand when you see it!
Sound - 10
The sound is AMAZING. Gunshots sound real and so do everything else. But the best part is the voices. They sound somewhat real! The best I've heard on gameboy.
Replay - 9
3 Difficulty modes and after you beat the game you can play lone wolf mode with one operation and unlimited ammo. Plus 5 save slots so you can do all at once!
In Conclusion... 10!
If you like action, and you like strategy, you love this buy. Defiantly buy!
