Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
About the Game
In 2007, an unidentified group of terrorists attack a number of high-profile targets, beginning with the G8 summit in Switzerland and continuing with a Venezuelan oil refinery in the Caribbean. Their demands are obviously targeted at disrupting the oil trade between the United States and Venezuela. Enter veteran international anti-terrorism unit Team Rainbow, who must stop the terrorists and discover who is behind the attacks. Rainbow Six 3 is an entry in the long-running series designed especially for consoles.
Gameplay & Core Systems
A major part of the experience is 14 single-player levels (15 in the PS2 and GameCube versions). In each, the player controls Domingo 'Ding' Chavez, who leads a team of three other Rainbow operatives. Goals in each mission include taking out terrorists, defusing bombs and protecting hostages. Before each mission, each squad member must be equipped with a primary and secondary weapon plus further equipment. Despite the action focus, the game still opts for a certain amount of realism: there is no running or jumping, more than a few hits are fatal and there is no way to regain lost health.
Standout Features
- Ding's squad mates will act on their own in supporting the mission, but they can also be given specific orders through a context-sensitive menu: holding position, advancing, clearing a room or defusing a bomb.
- The Xbox version features voice recognition: team orders can be given through a headset.
Modes & Ways to Play
Besides the single player campaign, there is also the custom mission mode, which allows the player to hunt terrorists on unlocked maps from the campaign. Cooperative campaign mode Cooperative custom mission mode Sharpshooter mode: a timed deathmatch with respawning, the player with the most kills wins. Survival mode: no respawns, the last player standing wins. Team Survival mode: no respawns, the last team standing wins.
