Summary: well executed horible idea
Review: what the hell were they thinking? they took the worst part of the rainbow six series and made a whole game out of it. Why? why? why? the long awaited full sequel to rogue spear and they completely blow the level design. i dont mean to say that the levels are not intricitely designed with little strategic advantages waiting to be taken, and that they didnt improve squad managment so that it is now completely flexible for in-combat commands. What I am saying is that the AI needed to be seriously reworked for long-range combat.
you spend most of the game looking for enemies, finding them, aiming at them, and blowing their brains out. the bad guys skip the first three steps and just blow our brains out. this gets a teeny bit annoying, you want a protracted gunfight, where cover means something, and snipers have an advantage over guys with ak-47s or pistols at long range. instead every bad guy is a match for your sniper, they can see your sniper every bit as well as you can see them (even though hes wearing some serious camoflague) and they can aim every bit as well with their naked eyes as you can with a scope. cover fire is absolutely useless; either you hit your enemies or they kill you. you cant keep them pinned down until you're in position, the AI doesnt allow that.
this game is so well designed in every way except the AI. the AI is taken straight from earlier games, and they should have restricted the game to close-range combat if they were too lazy to make a semi-decent long-range AI. i cant enjoy this game because i am always thinking of how good it COULD be. it isnt.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I like it but Clancy is p***y
Review: Why does Clancy write great books and then he lets Hollywood ruin them? He gives the book to some liberal in Hollywood and they cast anti-American vermin in his films.

The game is great too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GR, it ain't Xbox though
Review: Xbox has much nicer user experience. However this is fun to play too.
