More than once you’ll curse your “buddies” as they jam up in a narrow corridor and give away your position. The game requires some pretty meaty specifications for good performance, and has retained many of the PC version’s flaws - clipping errors and occasional problems with the artificial intelligence of team members. Stealth and cunning are still key - in Quake, you can happily take a direct hit to the face with a rail-gun and survive, but in Rainbow Six, a single pistol shot to the head will finish you.

The wide range of options includes competitive one-on-one death matches and cooperative team-based strategies. Once you’ve tested your skills in the single-player missions, you’ll be ready for the online multiplayer action (for up to 16 players), where the game really comes into its own. The single-player game seems relatively short and easy - but the challenge soon mounts. The level of difficulty depends on the situation. Meanwhile, you can play the hero - barge into a room full of terrorists and blast at everyone except the hostages. They’ll usually complete their objectives if given sensible orders. In most games, sending out computer-controlled characters ends in bloody tragedy, but in Rainbow Six, your team members start out a lot smarter than you. You can then plot which team member goes where, and figure out the best way to achieve your objective. Before entering a mission, you examine predetermined maps and plans or, better yet, create your own. Jumping straight into a mission and blasting indiscriminate will most likely get you killed by machine-gun fire. The gameplay is first-person shooter, but the pace is something entirely new. Six is a military position, usually bringing up the rear of an attack force. The Rainbow Team is a United Nations-sponsored counterterrorist unit invented by Tom Clancy, author of the novel Rainbow Six (soon to be a movie). Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six is the thinking man’s Quake: There’s plenty of action here, but you won’t get far without planning and strategy. To best enjoy them, you’ll need an up-to-date 3D graphics card for playing Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and yes, Rainbow Six.

Today’s state-of-the-art games involve light-sourcing, Phong shading, and trilinear mip-mapping. The hardware matches and even betters its PC equivalent in some instances, and the quality and style of modern Mac games have advanced beyond recognition.
