I don't own this game either, but I've played it many times. Though the graphics could certainly use some improvement, the game play is just as exciting as Delta Force. Discuss.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I have a copy. The graphics definitely need work. Other than that, it's got some pretty good action, plus a pretty good interface.

I'll say. People often tell me that the game is twice as good after you've read the book. I never read it, because every other word was profanity (so I was told), but the game is still a blast. So relistic that a minor mistake costs you your life...

I tried to read the book, but I found it was the worst of Tom Clancy's (who, by the way, is a Mac fan, and therefore makes the good guys use Macs and the bad guys use PC's) books. But, the gameplay is awesome. You must be stealthy, otherwise the enemy will fire a single shot at your head, and there you die.

Rainbow Six is the worst of Tom Clancy? Probably...I did read the Hunt for Red October (I also own the movie), and that story was probably his best. I also had no idea he was a Macintosh fan...Smart guy.
Stealth...That's one of my favorite words.
In Deus Ex in particular, stealth will immediately decide life or death. ------------------

In Deus Ex in particular, stealth will immediately decide life or death.It may interest you to know that Michael Crichton is also quite a Mac fan. He created the computer game based on his most recent novel, Timeline, on a Mac. More information on Tom Clancy's work with Apple computers can be found here, and info on Crichton's work is here.

In fact, Tom Clancy is the president of the company that did Rainbow Six for the Mac.

Interesting...Maybe that's why I didn't recognize the logo when I bought the game (isn't it a small red twister, or something along those lines?).

Yes, that's the logo of 'Red Storm Entertainment,' the company that developed Rainbow Six, and Rogue Spear (basically the sequel to R6). Macsoft published it, however.

"Red Storm Entertainment?" Does that happen to have anything to do with the "Red Storm Rising?"

King does also, eh? That's pretty awesome...
Also, I just found the pride of Macs..Here's a link to a Star Wars movie that took two years to create (it was totally created on a single G4 with Electric Image, and I think the duel itself is better then the one seen in The Phantom Menace). The 40+ mb download is VERY much worth the time...

I saw that a few days ago. All I can say is that's it's absolutely incredible, worthy of a major studio.

You're telling me. I told my older brother that if those two people (Lord Rive and Darth Blight in the movie) were hired by Lucas Arts, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
I made a post about Duality at the Banter and Brawl if you want to read up a little more on what other people think of it...------------------
