I would surely rate this game as the best tactical game ever made. What is striking is the succes the Red Storm has had in blending top level realism and good playability. The game is structured around a basic storyline where  the Rainbow anti-terrorist organisation is hunting down a terrorist  organization. You have to complete 15 levels (too few from my point of  wiew) in order to accomplish your mission. Each level has a planning phase  where you select the team members from a force pool, choose theyr equipment  and decide the action plan. A nice feature is the "Default  option", so that you can go thru this phase in as little as five  seconds and jump directly into action. Once the game has started you can  swich between any one of you teams, a feature that enables for an  incredible flexibility.
