Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword Review
Since I only played this as a single player game, I will leave the multiplayer evaulation to others.
I got this because I liked Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield. This, being an expansion, is mostly more of the same. Note, that you will need to have Raven Shield installed to install this game (I had already uninstalled it, so had to load it back up again). Unlike others, I actually thought the graphics were slightly better than Raven Shield, but I played a few other games between the two, so I my memory might be a bit confused.
When I played RS, I used the team approach and even some of the planning, but for Athena Sword, I only played it in the action mode, where there is only one team of guys. I tend to switch between the guys, placing them in different locations to cover areas where enemies could be encountered. When you switch characters, the default mode is for all the guys to form up on you, so you have to be sure and hit "HOLD" immediately in order to force them to stay where you put them.
I think Raven Shield is an impressive game for its time and Athena Sword is a nice expansion. The fact that it doesn't offer any significant new capabilities doesn't bother me. It delivered what I wanted: More Raven Shield-like action.
My only complaint is that this was amazingly short. Only eight missions. While expansion packs often tend to be shorter than the original game, I was a bit disappointed by that anyway. I liked everything else about the game, though. For the .50 I paid for it, I give it a thumbs up.
