I assumed because the developers realized how terrible the demo was and that the game was not ready to be released. Then I heard rumors that Lockdown would be delayed till the end of the year. Then about a month before retail, Ubisoft released a demo for Lockdown, and it meet with a lot a negative remarks and comments throughout the gaming communities. My interest peaked and I was hopeful again. Then I started reading news and interviews that the PC version was getting extra attention and time to take it back from the console direction and put it on the right track for the PC release. In the age of consoles, a number of us were very concerned about the direction the Rainbow Six series would take, especially since the console versions were selling like crazy. Ubisoft has bought the rights to the game and the rights to his great name. He use to demand approval on any and all elements of a game. Tom Clancy has since given up the total control he had over his name and on these games. I met members of my longtime gaming group, the “Military Gaming Group” playing it, and to this day we still play a game from the series now and then, and always look forward to the next version released.

That was the game that truly got me into online cooperative play. Then came the movies, which were great but never as good as the books - which seems to be a typical opinion about movies made from books anyway.įinally, there was the first Rainbow Six computer game. It started with his excellent novels, for which I have read them all, (and even have two of his classics on my iPod as audio books). I’ve been a fan of Tom Clancy’s work for a long time.
