Not aged well

So, this site ist called Good Old Games - that can stand for two things: 1. Old games that were great when they came out or 2. Old games that, despite the aged technology, are still a lot of fun to play today. Sadly, in my opinion, Rainbow Six only falls in the first category. The reason for this is simple: pathfinding. Its horrible. Not a single mission goes by were i don't have to redo the plan multiple times only because of pathfinding issues. Yes, you can circle through your teams and unstuck them manually most of the time, but there are missions were time is of crucial importance. Lets look at something you encounter every mission: a floor with a lot of rooms on both sides. Naturally, you plan that your teams check every room for badies, so they dont get shoot in the back. The game even encourages it with the 'clear' waypoint. Unfortunately, this results in your teams getting stuck in every single room. So, about ten times a mission. So, I know the game is old, and that how pathfinding was back then - non existant. But, at the end of the day, I just like having fun. And its not fun to yell at your monitor*. *except for Super Meat Boy

When Rainbow Six used to be great

However, 4 stars as this lack so much quality that was offered by Rogue Spear which succeeded it. I wouldn't mind seeing that added on GOG later on. Back to the topic, this game offers all the classic gameplays you could expect from when Rainbow Six used to be what it was called. You could choose your team mates and if one died, they were gone from that save game permanently. And you could carefully plan your AI team's route on the map. Back at this time i can only imagine how advanced this game was for its time.

Great game, bad re-release

How to say it...The game is good. Very good even. You can read about it all around, even from most liked/useful review here. There are hardly any other games on the market like first R6 games, with same or similar quality. 4 stars I would give to this one, 5 would be deserved for Rogue Spear as I believe it's being superior with things like leaning option. Rest of the review will be mainly about technical side. Have it in mind, this release deserves 2 stars at best. The game suffers from being neglected. As somebody with many old games I'm fine with fixing them to boot up but...This one goes beyond that. Some missions are outright broken. Not spawning enemies, hostages being invisible and showing only on the minimap, making it impossible to escort them and thus impossible to finish the mission. It depends on difficulty you play on as well from what I managed to dig out. Also, player and teammates seemingly sometimes get stuck on spawn; their AI tends to turn off, usually near doors. GoG release supposedly has 2 corrupted/broken map files, I heard CD release doesn't suffer from this. Can't confirm myself however so take it with grain of salt. Configuration of such thing as mouse sensitivity requires you to use regedit; it's far from good. Prepare to use dgVoodoo if you want to play it on anyhow modern system. Alt + tab combo doesn't seem to work (this is understandable considering the game's age), Windowed option in regedit doesn't appear for me; seems like it's broken as well. Overall technical side is simply disappointing. If you even manage to run it, and many seem to report being unable to, you are going to run into multiple problems. So it's outright "not recommended" if you just want to hop in and play. Hence why I said this release deserves 2 stars. All that being said, if you are willing to spent some time repairing what's broken, it's really good title. Takes a while to get into it but it's really rewarding. Game? Recommended. GoG version? Hardly.
