Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six impressed and thrilled gamers with its real-world scenarios and ridiculously robust tactical elements when it first hit the PC gaming scene. Arguably one of the most realistic shooters of the time, players spent hours tackling it's lengthy single-player campaign which required pre-planning the routes of multiple squads via a top-down tactical blueprint. Executing said plans were a tense affair, where one bullet could mean the difference between life and death--an attribute that also carried-over to the game's excellent multiplayer components. "Then after a while they stop holding your hand and I found that trying to solo the missions just wasn't going to work," he continues. "When I finally sat down and really planned out my strategy, then worked the minor oversights out, there was nothing as satisfying as sitting back and watching it all play out just as I'd planned." Yet another Shacknews user by the name of Jobos notes how subsequent iterations of the Rainbow Six series lost some of their old-school tension, due to things like recharging health. "Rainbow Six was filled with intense, white-knuckle action. In New Vegas, I yawned a lot while I held down the trigger button," he states. "It has to do with the life system," he explains. "In New Vegas, you were super-human: you'd get shot up and then just wait a few moments and you're entirely healed. In many of the previous R6 games it was one or two shots, which really ratcheted up the tension!" Check out the original Chatty thread for more stories and memories from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

Today we add 1998's classic tactical shooter, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, to our growing list of video game classics, presented by MobyGames.com. MobyGames reviewer Ray Soderlund writes, "It usually doesn't take long for me to get weary of the standard deathmatch games. Power-ups, god-like endurance, and ridiculous architecture just don't suit me after a few rounds. That's the main reason I loved Rainbow Six." He also touches on the game's simulation-like feel. "Even in full armor your men can rarely take more than two or three shots with the average weapon before going down. Weapons are very deadly and accurate at the ranges they should be. Sneaking around is the key and one cares about one's life," writes Soderlund. "As an old fan of paintball, this was one of the first games to 'feel right' in my mindset. There's just a much better thrill knowing that at any point you can be taken down with one lucky hit." "I was playing this game so much, I had to pack it up, and hide it in my attic!," writes MobyGames reviewer Paul Budd. "So much thought and planning went into every single level. They're fun, creative and allow for all sorts of playing styles. I liked being both commander and soldier, required to both direct the action as well as participate in it too," he writes.
