In Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, you control a team of covert ops who rely on careful planning and stealth in dangerous situations. The painstaking strategy elements that made the PC series popular is toned down for the Game Boy Advance, while punched-up action and an engrossing cooperative mode adds much excitement.

Whether you are playing solo or with friends, teamwork is the key to victory. Before each of the 15 GBA-exclusive missions you must carefully choose each member of your antiterrorist team.

Keep the mission objective in mind when choosing your squad. Top specialists from all over the world include snipers, demolition experts and more.

The best way to experience the tactical thrills of Rogue Spear is with one or two friends. This requires a Game Pak for each player and enough GBA Game Link Cables to connect them.

All 15 missions are available for co-op play, which is much more intense than playing solo with AI-controlled teammates. Four friends can also compete head-to-head.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear puts a stealthy spin on run-and-shoot action. Button combos are required to perform more complex moves. Good graphics and sound add polish to a story that is exclusive to the GBA.
