Rainbow Team Takes on Terrorists in March
New PS2 screens and story details inside.
Ding Chavez and his Rainbow Six team have been kept busy the past few years battling ne'er-do-wells in the far-flung corners of the world. But come this March, the status quo is given the heave-ho as the anti-terrorist quartet find themselves cast as the hunted in Rainbow Six: Lockdown.
The game's story follows a doomed spiral as a terrorist organisation known as the Global Liberation Front goes on the offensive against the geopolitical policies that, it claims, have wreaked havoc across the Third World.
With a penchant for violence and a mindset to back it up, the group takes aim at First World nations, hoping to forcibly persuade them to forgive all Third World debt and extract their occupying forces from various centres of contention around the globe.
This thematic stage is occupied by seven major players who control various terrorist cells and activities, placing themselves as obstacles in the path of the Rainbow Six squad.
Rainbow Six: Lockdown is being developed for PlayStation 2 and Xbox by Red Storm and Ubisoft Montreal, respecitlvely, and will be in shops across Europe this March.
