The DC Rainbow 6 arrives, but it's not quite par with the PC

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Decent graphics, yet could have been improved all around
Cons Planning is very difficult, don't expect anything entirely new versus the PC version
Recommended it? No

Majesco finally shows R6 to Dreamcast. Unfourtunetly, Rainbow Six is intended for hardcore espionage/SWAT action buffs because of it's very complicated and time consuming gameplay mechanics.

The game sadly suffers some problems Dreamcast could of surpassed. Starting is the control... Read full review »

Next you have a choice of either setting up your own team, assigning weapons, creating your own plan, or... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Same as the pc version, you pick a team of anti-terrorist recruits, outfit them, make a plan of attack and save hostages.

THE GAME:
Based on Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6, This game is very realistic. You can't wing a game like this. You have to spend alot of time working in the training... Read full review »

Lots of hype. But did it deliver?

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros High quality simulation, computer quality graphics, fun to shoot terrorists.
Cons NO MULTIPLAYER, bad ally AI, choppy at high congestion areas.
Recommended it? No

The Rainbow Six titles on the PC have opened almost a new genere in action video games. The in-depth storyline, the myriad of real weapons and equipment, and the planning phase that lets you put total control over the difficult missions. Rainbow Six and Rainbow Six: Rouge Spear for PC are two of... Read full review »

Pros Great graphics, great sound, realistic situations
Cons no VGA support, long loading times
Recommended it? Yes

Rainbow Six has become the butt of jokes for most Dreamcast owners. Often it was called the game that would never see the light of day. Many of the officials at Majesco said that it was indeed coming out and finally, after 8 months of waiting and waiting we finally get to see the game that was... Read full review »

Pros Graphics and Sound
Cons Controls
Recommended it? Yes

Let me tell you not to waste any money on this game. I am a big fan of all types of games but this one I could not stand. First of all this game was meant for the computer and that is the platform where they should have left it. Unless you have 20 fingers the controls are awful to say the least... Read full review »

Almost too hard to be worth the effort (Almost)

Pros Involving levels; Retry, Replan, REPLAY
Cons No Multiplayer; CONTROL madness
Recommended it? Yes

I had been waiting for this game since the DC launched back in September. Now that I have it I feel somewhat let down. Not because it is a bad game but because the control is so frustrating and difficult to learn. But the true test of a game's worth: despite my reservations i kept playing.
