I think this game should be called Rainbow 6 Version 1.5 because it really didnt improve on the original Rainbow 6. The background grapics were slightly toned down. The online matchmaking system is horrible, you cant tell what the ping rate is. I will log in to a game with a green ping rate and then notice during the game it will have gone to red. Making online play very choppy and horrendous. The online multiplayer maps are smaller with more twists and turns. Tried to make the game more like COD4 and it does an ok job in that. Now you can earn ACES point by shooting through walls, etc to help you increase rank and unlock weapons and camo. There are not enough ACES levels, I hit all 20 levels and I am still a Sergeant in the game. The XP is nice that is transfers between SP and MP but it will take a long time to rank up. In SP, your teammates help but they are as smart as bricks. They spend too much time trying to get to cover instead of helping you pass the level. At one point, they got stuck at a table (couldnt walk around the table )and I didnt get to use them for the rest of the level until I hit a check point. *Spoiler* The end Helicopter battle is fun, but not long enough. The game on realistic seemed very easy to play, I beat the game in about 5 hours of game time. I would recommend COD 4 over this game.
What's great about it: T-Hunt and ACES, Single Player
What's not so great: Graphics, online play, not enough ACES, slow

One of the greatest movies ever and I would recommend the movie to all ages. The movie mixes both action and comedy well. Michael Bey even takes a stab at his previous film of Armageddon. ILM took great care in the detail of each Transfomer. You can see the detail in each scare mark on Optimus Prime down to the stencil mark of "To Enslave and Punish" on Barricade's rear quarter panel. The story has good plot line on why the Transformers got to Earth and why they are looking for Sam. There are a few loose ends that were not explained in the movie
*Spoiler* What happens to Barracde in the end battle? And what happened to the Maggie (Signal Analysis) and Glenn Whitman (Maggie asks Glenn for help on analyzing the Decepticon signal) after battling Frenzy?
Such small loose ends, and who really cares about those loose ends. Great Movie for all!!
