A new Rainbow Six game debuts, and it’s on the iOS platform. Gameloft today launched Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard for the iPhone and iPod touch for $6.99. The handheld tactical first-person shooter includes 11 missions, 3-player local co-op or online co-op modes, and 5 multiplayer maps for head-to-head 10 player matches.
Released in 2011, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard is a testament to the inevitable evolution of gaming. As mobile devices become more powerful, game developers are now taking smartphones and tablets seriously as a new platform. The developers at Gameloft wanted to target players to experience the same action-packed series on mobile devices. Does it live up to the hype or is it just a shadow of it former self? Let's find out.
Pixel Scribes: "Tom Clancy games usually revolve around the concept of stealth. You sneak around and ‘neutralise’ as many enemies as you can, preferably without being spotted. Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard for iPad isn’t really much different. Except this time, you control everything via touchscreen, as opposed to buttons which most people will be accustomed to."
For those unfamiliar with the Rainbow Six series, it all started in 1998 with the Publication of Tom Clancy’s novel “Rainbow Six”. A video game series soon followed and the formula has stuck around until today: Squad based First person shooter action with cover systems, civilian hostages constantly moaning and whinging, and millions of bad guys to mercilessly slaughter on your way to becoming a Spec Ops legend. Shadow Vanguard manages to pull all this off and is certainly an impressive game which has been squeezed lovingly onto mobile devices.
