Editorial Review:
As first-person shooters go, Rainbow Six is to Dreamcast what GoldenEye 007 is to the Nintendo 64: the most innovative and intriguing title of its kind for the platform. Borrowed from Tom Clancy's novel of the same name, Rainbow Six offers a fascinating first-person adventure through lush worlds and highly detailed environments that have yet to be seen on gaming consoles. But don't stop to smell the roses too often or you'll end up staring down the business end of an oncoming Stinger missile.
You command an elite antiterrorism force through a series of stealth and action missions. Sometimes you will need to sneak through a foreign embassy in the dark with your night vision goggles on, while other times you'll need to launch a full-on weapons attack on your enemies. The game does both types of missions well, but you'll have to spend some time planning with your team before you start each level. Plotting out missions in advance and positioning team members lends a unique real-time strategy feel to the already excellent shooter aspect of the game.
As the team leader, you are solely responsible for making sure each mission goes well. Direct and protect your squad, save any hostages who might be hanging around, and accomplish your main mission objectives. The latter may include sabotage, simple spying, or even assassinations. Good luck. --Bill Hutchens
Pros: - Perfect mix of first-person shooting and strategy

Rating:  - gets my heart beating fast
I'll start off with the cons that have already been said:
-polygonal graphics, it's no big deal though
-sometimes bad computer partners, in small areas the computer may get stuck against the walls and you have to run back to them to get them off the wall
-lots of controls, that only takes less than half an hour to get them figured out
I've seen a few times in the lower reviews that people were hoping for a game like Goldeneye. Although they're both shooting games, ... Read More
Rating:  - A HUGE Letdown...
I really wanted to like this game. I wanted to play it ever since I got my Dreamcast. After many delays, it finally came out, so I rented it. Good thing that's all I did. I'm sorry to report, but this is a horrible game. But why? First off, are the graphics. While they're certainly not the worst I've ever seen, they really leave too much to be desired, especially for the fact that this is a Dreamcast game. You can see the polygons sticking out of the characters and they don't look realistic at all. ... Read More
Rating:  - Great
Rainbow Six is a great port of the PC game. The graphics aren't the best, but everything else makes up for it. The sound is wonderful. I haven't finished the game yet but so far it has been challenging and fun. Buy it!
Rating: - Amazing shooting Dreamcast game
Rainbow Six is one amazing game. You just what the U.S. Army is doing right now in Afghanistan. You are with an anti-terrorist group which tries to stop terrorists from bombing buildings and other terrorist acts.
You and your group do drills to train for your missions. The only bad part is the missions and choosing all of your stuff takes a long time....A VERY LONG TIME.....
After you have all of your weapons and materials you go on over 21 different missions. You kill terrorists and try ... Read More
Rating: - Not that bad
The graphics tend to be a bit bland, but this is a port of a PC game from back in the day. You can't expect much to change.
The sound though is much better: from reloading your weapons to the sound of a flash bang, the atmosphere is lovely.
There are some minor glitches, such as getting stuck on walls while climbing or stepping; something very hindering when you get to later levels that require stealth.
And the difficulty may put some people off. First off, you ... Read More
