I played Rainbow Six on the PS3 and I think it's fantastic. It doesn't feel like some game that was ported over from some other system. The graphics are clean and look just great. Everything is super fluid, and the controls are great too.
The controls feel extremely natural, all the buttons are in just the right spot, and overall the game plays extremely well, I am very impressed. You aren't trying to quickly switch between stick and d-pad/buttons to do certain things, for instance, instead of pressing down on the d-pad to kneel, you just press down on your left thumbstick that you almost always already have your thumb on. Everything plays this way.
The campaigns are interesting and fun, and the weapons are very accurate. The only thing I really dislike about the campaign is checkpoint saves, in fact, I can't stand checkpoint saves, and the checkpoints often times are far apart. It forces you to play more carefully, but can be extremely frustrating at times. But it's not a make or break objection.
The squad controls are very well done too. Extremely easy to work with. In fact, you only use 3 buttons, one to call them closer/stop them, one to tell them to hold fire or fire at will, and the last button you use to tell them where to go, which works by just looking somewhere with your crosshairs and pressing the button.
The A.I. is phenominal, your squad clears rooms properly, takes cover, etc... I was blown away. The enemies seem to work together and take cover as well. This also has the option for cover fire much like Gears of War, really neat.
Online Multiplayer is a great addition, almost everyone uses a headset as well and the player base is quite mature and pleasant to play with. The maps are great and the play types are fun too. I just can't get enough online multiplayer, I'm on it all the time. There are a couple glitches like lag and what not with MP, but the game was just released, most of these issues get fixed right away.
In conclusion, this game is a must have. Ignore the 360 vs PS3 garbage. Everything plays fantastic, graphics are great.
