What the heck?

User Rating: 2.6 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown PC
By banjobear_basic | Review Date:
This is my first venture into a rainbow six game. I expect it to be a more complex -than-average FPS, but turned out to be the dumbest FPS I've ever played. You walk very slowly and shoot very dumb enemies that usually takes couple seconds to react, and that's the entire game!. Several sections is very annoying as you have to kill every single guys before the game allows you to proceed into the next section, and the game designers placed them in pretty much every corner, even in illogical places like freezors and whatnots.

The graphic is ok, but nowhere deserves the 8 gamespot gave (Swat 4 looks much better and was released couple years back, yet got the same graphic score). The levels are so bland and is made worse with the hills have eyes movie poster splattered on every couple walls throughout all the levels! And many of the levels takes place in foreign place or secure complexes. This product placement is so out of place that just makes the environment you're in more unnatural.

The sound in this game is horrid. Gun fire sounds like something out of a toy guns. All the voices are bland and many have the god awful forced accents.

In summary, this game feels like a low-budget project to extract profits from all the levels Ubisoft cut out from their previous projects. If you like these types of games get Swat 4 instead. It's much, much better than this worthless junk and actually have some tactical strategy to it.

    Destruction of a series

    By wirespeed | Review Date: Feb 19, 2006 | PC

    Even if we look past the fact that R6:LD is a total departure from what made this series unique and fun to play, taken on it's own as a shooter, it does absolutely nothing new, nothing inventive, and nothing noteworthy. ... Read Full Review
