    Bursting through a wall with guns blazing has never been this fun. If only there were more unlockable content to work towards than what is included.

    Tactics, action and working together are the pillars of Rainbow Six Siege. Attacking and defending bring endless online fun, especially when you play with people you know in a team. If not, the bugs might make your game somewhat annoying.

    Rainbow Six: Siege may give the impression of being a work in progress still but it nevertheless delivers a tense tactical experience for those of you who will manage to play it with friends willing to participate in solid teamwork.

    Despite the barbed wire and reinforced walls that Rainbow Six Siege makes you walk through in order to get to the meat of the gameplay, I can’t stop thinking about how much fun that gameplay is.

    Tense, dramatic and unique, Rainbow Six: Siege feels and plays unlike any other shooter on the market. It’s not perfect but it can be great fun. We just wish there was more of it.

    Fans of the well-crafted, single-player campaigns of previous Rainbow Six games will find nothing of value in Siege. The short tutorial missions lack replay value, and the popular Terrorist Hunt mode, which can be played with up to five friends, gives players little options other than ramping up the difficulty. Locking players out of selecting the map they want to play on is a curious decision, as are many of the battle tactics you see the enemy A.I. employ.

    There's nothing quite like Rainbow Six Siege competitive multiplayer for shooter fans. It can be incredibly fun despite some its shortcomings, but those shortcomings are visible in a number of important areas that keep this good revival of the popular Rainbow Six franchise from being great.

Rainbow Six contains countless characters to play, cosmetics to unlock, limited-time modes to try out, a large variety of maps to master, constant updates to keep you engaged, and a ranking system giving you something to work for. There is always something new to do in Rainbow Six Siege. I have played for over a year now and am still discovering new strategies. This is not your average shooter. It contains many learning curves and is much difficult than other games. This struggle is what makes defeating enemies so much more rewarding. This game includes many features I never dreamed of being in a video game before. For all these reasons you must check out Tome Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Expand

It's fun solo or with a team up to 5. It's extremely tactical and very challenging. You'll need to know things like map camera spots and recoil control to truly master the game. I find it very rewarding though and I can't really fault it's main gamemode. My criticisms include inconsistency of the quality of maps, lack of single player support, and the fact that other than the 20 base operators, the rest need to be saved up for with in-game credits or real money.

    I'm having the same issue as always where I really want to give this game an 8 or 9 because I am a huge fan of the Rainbow Six series, butI'm having the same issue as always where I really want to give this game an 8 or 9 because I am a huge fan of the Rainbow Six series, but this game just reeks of Ubisoft, and they've done things that warrant a 7/10.
    My biggest issue (which might be fixed) is the servers, during the Beta and even the full game, the servers are as stable as a house of toothpicks, I've noticed that Ubisoft could never handle multiplayer games without them killing themselves; nevertheless, I am 'almost' certain that this issue will be rectified.
    My other primary complaint is how there's less customization and freedom, I'm noticing a very bullsh*t theme with all the new releases, why is it that all the older games in the franchise had more player freedom? they did this in Battlefront 3, Fallout 4, and Black Ops 3. what the hell is going on?
    20 operatives with sparse customization? no thanks.

    I also have some small complaints. on the backs of the Spetsnaz members, in Russian it reads FSB.
    FSB is an entirely different thing, that's like being a Navy seal, but having SWAT on your back.
    also it just bothers me to see 5 assorted CTUs shooting at other CTUs, why? you couldn't make terrorist skins?
    I do like how each charachter has a unique name that means something in their colloquial language.
    Kapkan means trap, and he sets down tripwires. and Tachanka roughly means cart with gun, or gun cart. the word came from the Russian civil war, when calvary men would put a maxim heavy machine gun on a cart and attach it to a horse. and Glaz, which means eye (because he's a sniper, get it? kek). then you have Montagne, which means Mountain. I don't speak German so I couldn't tell you about them, but I am almost certain they mean something too, it's just the little things that make it so much better.
    I think I've been ripping on the game too much, but rest assured, I absolutley love this game, it's brilliant, and as a reviewer below me pointed out, it IS a nice change to see a game that isn't mindless bullet parties like COD or BF, I just hope that COD players stay the hell away from this game. I have lots of fun playing this game and every kill feels earned, not cheap. and every time you wipe a squad, you feel like a bonafide badass. the game has that whole Battlefield moment sudden rush, if you don't know what that is, it's just when you get one of those moments that make the game a whole lot more exciting, almost cinematic at times.

    I am actually done with reviewing the game itself, but I have one last grievance.
    So I've heard people compare this to CS:GO, and that's wrong, but not in the way you think, this game is actually more intense and demanding then CS:GO, this game requires actual roles and objective managment, so it requires a competent intelligent team, one f*ck up, and you're dead, this game requires full attention and skill. but that's just the thing, on Xbone, it's cancer central, everyone who I end up in a lobby with is a moron or doesn't speak english, get it on PC.
    also I get 30fps on terrorist assault, okay I'm done.

    We all know Ubisoft is FAR from a "good" gaming company. They compare only to EA in their attempts to nickle and dime gamers. To an extent IWe all know Ubisoft is FAR from a "good" gaming company. They compare only to EA in their attempts to nickle and dime gamers. To an extent I tolerate it- if the game surrounding the DLC/microtransaction money machine is great. This is not the case.

    I understand how the industry works- I get that profits are needed in order to maintain a game company, however many companies are hugely profitable and do not even offer microtransactions and small paid DLC. Take CD Projekt Red- the give 16 free DLCs with the Witcher 3. In addition the base game is so huge that you can spend 100s of hours playing it. In other words, you get a lot of bang for your 60 bucks. And if you choose to purchase the paid DLC option- it offers you another 40 hours of additional content, which is a fair deal. $15 bucks lands you a lot of entertainment- i like that. $15 buck in Siege gets you 2 weapon skins and 1 new playable character. Awesome...

    Lets look at siege. Fun game yes- I will surrender that. It is exciting, thrilling, and offers a tactical layer to shooting that few games offer. But with pretty much NO single player content (minus an extended tutorial) and only really 1 game mode its more on tune with a 20 dollar DLC for COD rather than a stand alone AAA title. You can play every game mode and map in a day or so. So while the base content is fun- there is very little in the way of variety or scope.

    In addition they try to pry dollars out of you. Want a new operator? Pay us more... Want gun skins? Pay us more... Want new gun attachments? Pay us more... Sure you can grind for these things- but it is obviously set up to fuel microtransactions. Brand new players will spend a butt load and have a gear advantage over those playing for weeks and grinding for gear. That is not fair- the "pay to win" feature is clear here.

    Few things are needed to operate a smooth FPS multiplayer shooter. Good mechanics are key, a good leveling system is important, balanced maps that cater to multiple gameplay styles is crucial, and of course balancing between weapons/play styles. Siege has many of these things- some more than others. But what it lacks is the single most important aspect of an FPS online game- good servers. The game freezes and crashes all the time, almost EVERY SINGLE MATCH this happens to some degree. If you play using the ranked play feature (with other experienced players) then you cannot quit a match. If you do you are banned for 24 hours. So when your game freezes and no one can move or shoot then you have to sit through 7 5 minute rounds never once being able to move. If you get board and do not want to spend 35 minutes starring at the screen then you can quit and not player for 24 more hours. The "no quit" rule to ranked play is not a bad idea though- however that rule mixed with **** servers creates a lot of frustration. Inexcusable.

    Game like COD, Destiny, Battlefield, Battlefront, Evolve, and other MMOs have MUCH more strain on their servers and issues like the ones in siege are a rarity. It is clear Ubisoft cut corners in the server department and it cost the game dearly.
