Rainbow Six is a first-person shooter with an emphasis on realistic weapons and tactics.
You must use existing intelligence like floor plan layouts to plan your assault.
You can use up to four teams, with a variety of equipment from simple body armor to biosuits, breaching kit and more.
There are many different weapons available, from pistols to machine guns to shotguns to grenades.
You can switch between different teams as needed, or leave them under AI control.
It is possible to coordinate different teams with go codes, engage a variety of terrorists or perform stealth missions.
The game also features multiplayer with a variety of maps and mission types to choose from.
The PC version contains 16 missions.
The N64 version has 12 missions however only 10 are from the original game and 2 are from the Eagle Watch expansion.
The missions are also ordered differently than in the original PC version.
The interface was streamlined for the N64 console and controller, missions can now be played in a split screen co-operative multiplayer mode, and the pre-rendered videos from the PC version have been reduced to slide shows of a few still images.
The PlayStation version contains only 14 of the 16 missions of the PC version.
The PlayStation version reduces the 20 special operatives to 9, and only 3 operatives can be brought on a mission.
The pre-planning part of teach mission has been severely reduced to only allowing the player to select each of the operatives insertion points.
This version has more of a lone soldier feel to it with much of the teamwork aspect of the game being very rudimentary.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Rainbow Islands Revolution for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Rainbow Islands Revolution to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2006.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
