Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
About the Game
You have been recruited by John Clark to be a member of Rainbow, the most elite counter-terror team in the world, with members from various countries of the world. You start out rescuing hostages from the terrorists, but as you go on, you discover there are bigger things at stake - such as the entire world. Rainbow Six is a first-person shooter with an emphasis on realistic weapons and tactics.
Gameplay & Core Systems
There are many different weapons available, from pistols to machine guns to shotguns to grenades. You can switch between different teams as needed, or leave them under AI control. It is possible to coordinate different teams with go codes, engage a variety of terrorists or perform stealth missions. Another notable element is multiplayer with a variety of maps and mission types to choose from. The interface was streamlined for the N64 console and controller, missions can now be played in a split screen co-operative multiplayer mode, and the pre-rendered videos from the PC version have been reduced to slide shows of a few still images.
Standout Features
- You can use up to four teams, with a variety of equipment from simple body armor to biosuits, breaching kit and more.
- The PlayStation version reduces the 20 special operatives to 9, and only 3 operatives can be brought on a mission.
- The pre-planning part of teach mission has been severely reduced to only allowing players to select each of the operatives insertion points.
