Rainbow Six fans, you are about to enjoy a very happy weekend, as an HD Rainbow Six game has just been released for the iPad for the first time ever. Yes, the iconic Rainbow Unit has finally taken your iPad by storm with Shadow Vanguard HD! The iPad app features all the high intensity missions of the original Rainbow Six game, such as the likes of the Embassy Hostage Crisis, the oil platform assault, and the infiltration of a rebel camp in Africa, with updated and enhanced content. Happy, happy memories!

In the game, you get to lead the Rainbow counter-terrorism team, complete with three new members, as they go all-out to thwart a global terrorist threat across 11 missions around the world. Each level uses a dynamic real-time tactical system to test your skill to the max. Join up with up to two friends and play in Co-op mode, or go head-to-head in Multiplayer mode with up to ten players on five new and exclusive new maps.
