Review: For those that have played any Rainbow series, Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow is basically an add-on game with new missions in new settings, with the added advantage of having 2-player mode for hunting terrorists, which is a very welcome plus in you don't want to go online.

The maps are very challenging, and the enemy AI has improved extremely, the bad guys now throw a lot of firebombs or RPG's and there are snipers in some of the scenarios. They even take hostages! I was very surprised when I faced one terrorist, wiht a hostage and shooting a gun at me! Man, that guy got so wasted!

The briefings are presented in a new way, much better in my opinion, but I still miss the planning side of things from the PC version.

These are the only distinctions from R6-3, everything else is the same, the weapons, our team reactions, everything. It would have been nice to have a few new weapons to play with, or new toys like the old heartbeat detector. Let's wait and see what R6-4 has to offer...

For those that are new at this series, start off with R6-3, the rest of us, expect much of the same, but with challengable maps.
