Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six®

A great game. I loved planning missions. My best mission was also my worst. We had to do a mission on an oil rig as I recall. I set up three teams and started the mission. I led my team up some stairs, then more stairs, then down stairs, I couldn't figure out which way to go. I was lost. Then the mission ended. We had succeeded. My two other teams got the job done. Other than stairs that's all I saw of that mission. Great game

game wont run on windows 7 and all the gog recomended fixes wont work either, getting a refund.

It's sad that there are no other R6 games here. I started with Rogue Spear and I loved it. When I got to this one, I found it a little hard to play without the lean option. But it's a hood game nonetheless.

Game crashes quite frequently and sometimes the mouse will appear and obscure your crosshairs

This was one of those games that you remember loving or hating. Loving the fresh take on a more realistic tactical shooting experience or hating the punishing difficulty. This game was definitely great for it's time though. It was the anti-first person shooter. It dared to something new and completely different. For that I must applaud it. Still, I must admit, as far as all the realistic iterations of the Tom Clancy games go (ie Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon etc.) this boasted the most painfully unforgiving difficulty of the group. The biggest problem was the unrealistic response times of the enemy AI. Basically if you made eye contact, you'd be dead. The problem stems from the fact that there is literally no aiming animation. Enemy AI will snap from a relaxed "I don't see anybody who wants to kill me" pose right into shooting your face off in less than a quarter of a second. And did I mention they never miss? Thankfully friendly AI responds in kind. The biggest problem with this game is that it becomes 100% trial and error, especially if you want to make sure that all your squad mates survive because if they don't they're dead and they're not coming back. There is no practical way to go through the game and save everyone with out memorizing enemy spawn locations. For my brother, that was his favorite thing. Personally I preferred Raven Shield (Rainbow Six 3).
