If you are a fan of Tom Clancy games (like me), then you will definitely love this version. It is a very enjoyable FPS
The BAD: I rated this game 8.5. It had the potential for a higher rating, but I didn't do so for the following reasons:
** There doesn't appear to be any new maps. The maps are all recycled upgrades from previous rainbow six games. If there are new maps, I haven't encountered them yet. This is not a big issue, but it is a little concerning since it is a new game.
** Even though the graphics in this game are better then its predecessor like I mentioned earlier, they still are not as detailed as the current competition (i.e. COD4, CRYSIS etc.). It appears to be that the designers stopped short from applying the last layers of detail to the graphics.
** I would like for each player to see their own VOIP icon displayed when talking. This will allow each player to know if their speaker is open. Because this is not being done, I have experienced several games when the players did not realize they had open microphones.
** Armor is not balanced. The heaver armor does not seem to absorb additional gun fire.
** The AI's accuracy % on single player is far too high. I routinely get killed with one shot (some of these shots are from behind solid structures).
** Sound loop with gun fire
** Some graphic glitches that cause doors to open by themselves.
Now, don't let the "bad" bullet points deter you from buying the game. Even though the "bad" appear to out-way the good; it doesn't,. Additionaly, several of the "bad" points can be fixed with patches. As I mentioned in my first paragraph, the game is enjoyable and addictive.
