Now this is what a shooter should be like. You actually have to think.

User Rating: 8.5 | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword PC
This review is for both Raven Shield and Athena Sword.

Gameplay: Very challenging. Killing is very rewarding in this game, because one little mistake and you're dead. Once you have beaten all the missions on lone-wolf mode on the elite setting with auto-aim off and 35 terrorists you feel as if you have really accomplished something! (9)

Graphics: Not cutting-edge. Nevertheless, there is a lot of detail and they do not disappoint. (8)

Sound: The weapons sound great, although they are considerably quieter than the real ones. Not very many other sounds in the game though. (7)

Value: Cheap with lots of missions and mods, an 8.

Tilt: It doesn't get much better than this. (9)

The Good: Varied and interesting level design. Tons of real weapons, each with a different feel.

The Bad: Brain-dead AI. Rambo enemies that know no fear and can out-shoot Annie Oakley. Silly death animations. Not nearly enough destructible objects.

Bottom Line: This is what we need, more creative, inventive and cerebral games. Not the run-of-the-mill dreck most developers churn out.
