Guide Review - Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield

Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield continues with the squad based counter terror team where you control teams of agents as they infiltrate terriost hide-outs.

With a little more than a dozen or so missions the single player game is rather short and the story line is very similiar to the previous titles in this series. But if it's not broken why fix it. The game play is fun and the multitide of weapons available makes up for the lack of a "ground breaking storyline."

The multi-player aspect of Raven Shield has six types of games and it's fairly easy to get online and find one. THe types include, Deathmatch, Team, Bomb, Hostage Rescue, escort and Cooperative.
