The single-player lasted me a a whole 4 hours.
When I went onto multiplayer I could login to the server, but I would be disconnected every time I go to look for or create a match.
After a little searching online I found out they have shut the servers down...
Why are they still selling it as an online capable title, if it doesn't have online capabilities?

I read this book about 7 years ago so forgive me for missing the details. Here is what I remember. This book blew me away so ferociously that the next week we went out of town and I stopped at a used bookstore and bought every hardcover Tom Clancy book they had on their shelves.

The pace, intensity, and tension were so satisfyingly crafted that I just assumed that I would be as satisfied by the rest of his work, and for the most part I have been.

This novel is about Rainbow, and international group of counter terrorist agents who are set against a group of environmentalist terrorists who see human life as the ultimate scourge on the planet and the human race must be destroyed ... i found the book to be fascinating.

If you've read any of Tom's books, you would know that he can sure write a good thriller. In fact, he's considered one of the best thriller novelists in the modern era, often mentioned alongside names such as John Grisham and Michael Crichton.

Rainbow Six is a great testament to that.

Rarely did I stop turning the pages in this one. The prose was flowing, the action was fast and the plot was engaging. Being someone who had served in the army before, I was attracted by the details of the mechanics surrounding the anti-terrorist team named RAINBOW. It's clear Tom knows his stuff. All the facts on the weapons were spot on, and the plot was very believable; with the US government being a part of a bio-terrorism scheme to exterminate the world's population, holocaust style. The multi-national team RAINBOW took center stage in this one, and for much of the book, we learn about their members, their individual roles in the team and their many characteristics. Which is good; having the members of RAINBOW drive the book was a good move by Clancy.

The plot moves on in many threads, much like Ted Bell's SPY where we see many threads moving on in a chronological sequence. It has a very gradual build-up that many thrillers typically employ. RAINBOW started off being formed in the first few chapters to being a serious threat to the main problem (the bio-terrorism problem) in the end. The book moves in and out between the team, the bad guys (Popov and the terrorists), the US government and the many external forces influencing the situation itself. And the plot threads move at a very fast pace, making it very enagaging and urgent.

All in all, I found it a very exciting read. And I recommend it to all looking for a good thriller to plunge into.

For the price, this is a pretty good game if you are into the Rainbow Six franchise. The play is very similar to Rainbow Six Vegas.
