Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown™

Woah! I knew that most people disliked this game, but I decided to give it a chance anyway and it's terrible. They removed most of the tactical elements of the previous entries. There is no planning, level design is extremely linear. You cannot even change your teammates. If you die, you lose, you do not get to control the remaining members of your squad. You can still give some commands to your squad, but it's very limited, basically, "go there", "follow me", "stop". The worst thing about this game is that there are dozens if not hundreds of enemies in every mission and you have very limited ammo for your primary weapon. Unless you take a machine gun, you most likely will run out of ammo. You cannot take enemy weapons laying on the ground either... I guess it is designed in a way that they expect you to change between your primary weapon and your handgun constantly, but it's inconvenient and unfun. Also, half the weapons are useless because they are only situational like shotguns, or grenade launchers. You can only have one primary weapon for an entire mission, so you will not pick a shotgun because there will be many long distance fights. The A.I. of your teammates is aw…

"Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown" is yet another title from the golden era of Tom Clancy's games, but unlike many other old Rainbow Six titles, it has many flaws and by today's standards feels very clunky to play. It still carries the same realistic art direction as other classic Tom Clancy's games, which is a plus, but it was far from being a perfect game even upon release, and today playing it can bring more frustration than enjoyment. However, if you're a fan of military FPS games with all that tacticool aesthetic and want to explore the very roots of this direction, it's still worth picking up on sale and giving it a try. It actually runs surprisingly well on modern hardware. Also we can probably hope for the series better future now due to announce of "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Tactics".

I'd say that it is an okay tactical FPS for the price. In my opinion underrated ( or should I say overhated? ) . It's not perfect but neither were its predecessors. The main criticism is the AI's behavior not being consistent, that they are either too good or incredibly stupid. But after playing Raven Shield I came to the conclusion that the AI was pretty much the same there too. There are some things that the game improves though. The briefings are short and straight to the point, that makes the story more comprehensible. To sum it up, it is very similar to other Rainbow Six titles - terrorist organizations attack different parts of the world and the main villain is in possession of a bio weapon. So the gameplay loop is pretty much the same - stop terrorists, defuse bombs and rescue hostages. This time we are limited to one squad, so only 4 operatives per mission. It's kind of a downgrade for some players, but it's a non-issue for me since I barely used the other squads in the third game. Some other improvements are the graphics* and level design. I find it genuinely impressive how clean the game still looks, especially the textures and models. The shadows look good too b…

Clearly one of those games downgraded to be played on consoles.

nice game
