This is a great game for anyone who likes spec-ops. Recommend for adults who like Splinter Cell and not children- this is NOT Halo, and I'm not talking High Altitude Low Open canopy. A game where babysitting is out of the question.

This game was pretty darn good! Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow is more than an expansion than a sequel, but with all the new maps and modes, it sure feels like one. The biggest and best thing about this game is its multiplayer aspect. There are like 24 maps to play along with a lot of different game modes. These modes consist of Sharpshooter, Terrorist Hunt, Mission, Survival, Team Survival, and two new modes, Total Conquest and Retrieval. All of these are each very fun, but the new ones are especially enjoyable. They all play very well on the new maps, and it seems that the new modes were planned very well according to the layout of those new maps. The maps are larger than previous Rainbow Six games, but they are all very nice and work well. The Retrieval mode is probably my favorite. It is pretty much one flag capture the flag, except instead of a flag there is a canister. Each time spawns on different ends of the map with the canister in the center. The whole point is to retrieve the canister and bring it to your drop area. When the time ends, whoever has the most scores wins. It is a really addicting game type, and along with Sharpshooter, it is probably my favorite.

Overall, this game is one of the most addicting online player games there has been. It's fast, it's fun, and although it can sometimes be challenging, it can keep people playing for hours on end. The graphics are very nice, the online modes are insane, and there are so many maps to choose from its crazy. The graphics could be a bit better, but instead of changing them a lot from Rainbow Six 3, they instead improved the game play, added modes and maps, and made the online experience truly addicting and fun!

All of the rainbow six games have great play and great multi player. Rainbow Six 3 is one of the best military shooters of all time if you don't compare it to ghost recon. Black Arrow's Xbox Live modes are pretty much as good as Rainbows (I won't go too far into detail). The maps I would say don't live up to what I was envisioning though. The graphics are better. If you like rainbow six you should buy this because it is great and cheap. The AI has been improved a little but could still use more improvement.
The campaign is a good difficulty until you get the top levels on the hardest mode. Then it is down right HARD. Yet still fun. You can use split screen co-op and live. Which are all pretty cool ones. All are pretty good. On Xbox you can play Team Survival, Retrieval, Total Conquest, Survival, hunt, and missions, which are pretty fun. You really can't go wrong when buying a Rainbow six game. All of the expansions are amazing. The game features several different modes online that are Team Survival, Survival, Sharpshooter, Retrieval, and Total Conquest. They are all great modes and there are many people that still play this game online. Clans are now a big part of the whole online. One of the better system in the RB63 series online.
I find it hard to be labeled as a sequel when the little improvements make it more so an expansion pack. Although the game is fun. It lacks the certain aspects that could have made it a Great sequel. They could have improved the AI. But the story was great. And I would recommend it for anyone who likes any of the Tom Clancy Games. Don't rent it for a week. Just go out and fork over 20 bucks and own. And I will see you on Xbox Live.
