A blast...best FPS on Xbox so far this year

The previous Tom Clancy FPS games on Xbox (Ghost Recon, Ghost Recon: Island Thunder) are great, but not outstanding. Finally, Rainbow Six 3 comes out and surpasses both of them. There are some good things and some bad things about R63. Firstly, it actually shows the gun in this game, instead of just a reticule in Ghost Recon. The graphics are outstanding, rivaling those of Splinter Cell and Halo. Throwing a flashbang into a room and rushing in is just as fun to me as an all-you-can-eat buffet to my uncle. Enemy and teammate I.Q. could be a few points higher, though. Sometimes, your teammates save your ass from getting a bullet or two dead-on, and sometimes they don't even notice that you're getting massacred about two feet away. Still, they get the job done, and it all couldn't be this much fun withouy the Xbox Live Communicator Headset. Issuing commands to your teammates is that much fun, such as "Open and clear" or "Breach and clear". But, it would've been nice if you could say things like, "Kill that mofo" or "Pop one in his ass". But anyways, R63 is a must-own title, and Xbox Live support makes this game legendary. Even without Xbox Live, the gameplay is fast and furious and is easily one of the best FPS games on the big black-and-green Box.
