The newest game in the Rainbow Six shooter series, Lockdown, has finally arrived on the PC. What you won’t find in this version of the game are elements of a straight console port. The game’s environments are as large and detailed as you’d expect from a PC shooter, while extraneous elements from the console versions, like the hokey cutscenes and hidden briefcases scattered around the levels, have been toned down or removed entirely. Most importantly, the game feels like a PC shooter, with all the precision in aiming and movement that mouse and keyboard control can afford. While the developers have done a great job in ensuring Lockdown for the PC didn’t end up just being a sloppy port, it bears mentioning that the game has definite arcade underpinnings. Lockdown is still a lot of fun, though.

As in all the other Rainbow Six games, you play the squad leader of an elite counterterrorist force called Rainbow. You’ll start each of the game’s 16 single-player missions at a nicely presented briefing screen where you get the lowdown on the situation, some maps of your objectives, and an equipment setup screen for your four-man team. Lockdown includes a great variety of assault rifles, submachine guns, combat shotguns, and pistols to choose from, many of which are based on real-life guns such as Kalashnikovs, MP-5s, and Desert Eagles. You’ll also be able to outfit each operative with frag or flash grenades and entry tools like hammers and breaching charges. The best part is that each gun can be outfitted with one accessory, ranging from red-dot sights and scopes to silencers and high-capacity magazines. There’s a noticeable difference in feel and utility between the various weapons, so choosing the right tools for the job is not just a cosmetic feature in Lockdown. What’s missing from the mission-prep screen is the tactical planning portion that used to be such a staple of Rainbow Six games on the PC. However, with the ability to direct your team to do room-entry maneuvers in-game, there’s less need for a planning phase.

Lockdown is certainly a well-polished game, and even though it shares a name with games released earlier on console, the developers at Ubi have done a great job at ensuring the game truly looks and feels like a PC shooter. With dozens upon dozens of terrorists inhabiting each level, the game still feels like a departure from older PC games in the series. But if you enjoy the modern counterterrorist theme, you’ll still have a lot of fun playing Lockdown.
