  Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (xbox360: 2006): Reviews
Rainbow Six Vegas represents a return to glory for the franchise, with a renewed emphasis on tactics, a brilliant cover system, new high-tech gadgets, challenging missions and a multiplayer component that’ll keep you coming back for more.
Rainbow Six Vegas is a breathtaking return to form after questions over Ubisoft's commitment to the series were raised after Lockdown's release last year.
Rainbow Six Vegas might not be the crown jewel of the series, but it's still one of the year's best shooters.

  Rainbow Six (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rainbow is "fler than fl", its American funding directed through the Department of the Interior by Capitol Hill, then through The Pentagon's Office of Special Projects, with no connection whatsoever to the Intelligence Community.
Rainbow is immediately thrown into several counterterrorist missions in quick succession, though fortunately after several months in which to train and develop as a cohesive unit.
A Rainbow team is deployed to the scene, and after a short standoff, is able to successfully breach the bank and kill the terrorists with no further loss of hostage lives.

 Rainbow Six - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rainbow Six is fictional character John Clark's position as director of the counter-terrorist unit Rainbow that debuted in the 1998 novel Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy.
The base of operations for Rainbow is said to be located in Hereford (home to SAS), due to the United Kingdom being one of the most accessible countries in the world and also due to the press constraints that would not be possible to impose in the United States.
Rainbow is portrayed as the "flest of fl" operations, and it works off of its very own intelligence service which has intelligence contacts all over the world.

 Rainbow Six Lockdown: Review -- Strategy Informer
After its imprisonment in console land, Rainbow Six returns to the PC with a bad attitude, some interesting tattoos and a little less intelligence than it left with.
It is definitely recognizable as part of the Rainbow Six series, though it fails to bring the same realistic edge, due to a slight arcadey feel about the whole thing.
Rainbow Six: Lockdown finds you and your team jetting all about the world fighting terrorists, don't expect much of a story line, because apparently thats not really what this is about.

 Computer Games Online - Rainbow Six: Vegas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
The original PC Rainbow Six was an amazing title, and spawned a series that has gone through all of the highs and lows that most franchises go through.
Rainbow Six: Vegas is yet another high, and while it redefines the series even further away from its roots, it manages to blend action and strategy and is the best cover-based shooter to be released this year.
Rainbow Six uses the A button to allow you to command your squad and point them in a direction.

 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (Xbox) Reviews. Xbox Games Reviews by CNET.
Rainbow is the name of author Tom Clancy's fictional counterterrorist unit, composed of the world's strongest, fastest, most highly trained sharpshooters and commandos.
Rainbow Six 3 is a realistic game, in general, so these occasional AI flukes tend to really stick out.
Rainbow Six 3 is a great-looking game that believably re-creates the environments and types of characters you'd expect to see in a game like this.

 AVault | PC | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
Red Storm Entertainment's Rainbow Six puts you at the forefront of this new international conflict, in a game ripped as much from the headlines as it is from the Tom Clancy novel of the same name.
The name Rainbow Six is actually your personal moniker -- "Rainbow" meaning a coalition of several nations and races; and "Six," the military designation for leader.
Gameplay in Rainbow Six may not be exactly what you'd expect, as the game is as much about strategy and preparation as it is killing your enemies in a 3D world.

 G4 - Feature - 'Rainbow Six 3' (PS2) Review
"Rainbow Six" debuted on the PC back in 1998 and immediately carved itself a reputation as a genre-defining, intelligent shooter.
Rainbow, the top-secret supersquad that employs you, outfits you with a team of fairly intelligent operatives and a fantastic array of firepower.
One of the hallmarks of the "Rainbow Six" style is the ability to give detailed orders to your squad, including the zulu command, which tells your team to wait to execute a specific action until your signal.

 DailyGame Preview: Rainbow Six 3 [Xbox]
We’ve run a preview build of Rainbow Six through the wringer, and suffice it to say, you should start donating blood now, because this is yet one more game you need to buy before 2004 comes around.
As PC gamers have known for years, the recipe for the Rainbow Six franchise calls for a pinch of stealth (a la Splinter Cell), two cups of international terrorists gone amok and a full pound of team-based strategy (a la Ghost Recon).
Rainbow Six 3 is most definitely going to be worth the wait.

 Salon Books | Rainbow Six
In fact, like DeLillo's "White Noise," the plot of Clancy's 10th novel, "Rainbow Six," revolves around an "airborne toxic event." An international band of eco-terrorists funded by a pharmaceutical company CEO are plotting to unleash a deadly Ebola-like virus upon the entire world.
The hero of Clancy's earlier novels, Jack Ryan, is absent here, but "Rainbow Six" offers another familiar face in Jack Clark, who's called upon to head Rainbow, an ultra-secret international anti-terrorist commando team based in England.
Except for the introduction of a people-finding device that reads enemies' heartbeats in the field (Clancy claims it exists), there are no new techno-marvels in "Rainbow Six." And the author stretches his narrative powers so thin and voices his politics so stridently that the results are flimsy even by his own standards.
