Rainbow Six: The OG Xbox Collection (Xbox Review) - Viridian Flashback

[@Tavicx]

These older Tom Clancy games had vastly superior stories compared to the modern live service trash titles Ubisoft poops onto its consumers these days. Also gotta say that main menu music was amazing!

Great reviews, Dali. Cool to see how these games have evolved throughout the years of the good ol Xbox.

[@ScorpioCesarcade]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. This series was my brother in law and I’s favorite Xbox Live games at the time. We used to sink so many hours into terrorist hunt in the first two titles. A shame Lockdown wasn’t nearly as good and I should revisit Critical Hour at some point. Great reviews Dali!

Have some great memories playing Rainbow six 3 coop with friends. I had the version that included a headset where you could give voice commands to your squad worked decent

[@vinniecorleone62]

A wonderful profile on all 3 games in the series my friend, always quite informative & entertaining! Fortunately I own all the Tom Clancy Xbox games & even several of the strategy guides to go with them, I just need to play them after your enticing review! Love the new backdrop in your pad there, nice framed posters too!

Thanks Vinnie, always good to see you! :)

It’s all good, I’m just glad you’re doing better and still hanging in there 😊

I do happen to own Xbox Rainbow Six 3 but haven't played it much, I definitely think I will having seen this. I can say if you enjoyed this version you'd love the PC version, it has the tactical goodness you crave and trying to run and gun will easily get you killed. Rainbow Six 3 is brilliant, whenever someone dies you really feel like it was a big loss as it should be. I haven't played Black Arrow but I'll be on the lookout for it. I also agree about Lockdown.. it's not bad, but it's more action heavy style just didn't work as it felt like it tried to be both tactical and action. It definitely worked much better when they tried this approach again with Rainbow Six Vegas. As for Critical Hour..I honestly didn't know it even existed until this video. Can't say much on it. Overall great review here and I definitely like that you did your homework on the series and it shows.

Fun fact: Rainbow Six was not based on a novel. It was a story Tom Clancy wrote specifically for the video game. He later turned it into a novel. Clancy was the co-founder of Red Storm and was very involved in the development of their games.

[@CatsGamesWhatever]

Great overview of the series.

[@HybridAngelZero]

I'd to call these games out for a distinct lack of Rainbows >:V Okay, jokes aside, I don't have much to say about these, they're pretty far outside my wheelhouse, but I do love the subtle improvements you've been making to the presentation on the videos. The games' box art fading onto the screen during the footage with the blue text box is quite nice in particular

[@TheDaliPopka]

Thanks! I've been doing that whenever I'm making a video where there's 2 or more games, similar to what I do with the sports videos. I feel it flows a lot more smoothly.

[@mad_skittles87]

Bro I remember the clan battles in rainbow six 3 for Xbox. I killed a whole team by myself once. I still remember the leaning glitch too lol or when someone on your team decided to leave the game with a. Live grenade so it kills their whole team lol

[@crazystonegamer7593]

The only Tom Clancy games i had and played on the big green were Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Im interested in getting these in this video now. I did have all the ones on 360 and and xbox one. I have 0 interest in the extraction game tho. Creatures just seem way to out there for me for this series. Great reviews of these games tho. Enjoyed highly

[@BlackRedEliteStormE4]

I love this game

[@bouncingbluesoul5270]

Critical Hour was never released outside of the og Xbox and North America.

[@User-1694]

he looks like white big smoke

[@TheDaliPopka]

ok

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

I must say Rainbow Six doesn't appear to be for me, nonetheless great review Popka! When are you going to review the Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell games?

[@TheDaliPopka]

I had thought about doing a collection of other war-based shooters before tackling another Clancy series.

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

@@TheDaliPopka I think that is a good thought! I'd love to see a retrospective on war-based shooters on the Big Green.

[@jeradpaulson771]

Splinter cell next?

[@samz8691]

Sadly Critical Hour sold poorly, so it was never ported to PC/PS2 or even released anywhere outside of America.

[@NumberOneBOB]

Man...FUCK THE OSCARS! I would've watched sooner, if my feed wasn't full of that! Anyway, which is a better investment: Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon?

[@TheDaliPopka]

As far as OG Xbox goes, I haven't really played the Ghost Recon games, but I think R6 is a better time. Of course, that could change!

[@JamesMcKenzie-h3f]

​@@TheDaliPopkayou should definitely play the ghost recon and splinter cell games they are some of my favorite games
