Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six®

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.
