Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Reviews
Few shooters feel as good as this to play
The biggest problem is its Rainbow Six Siege alarming shortage of initial content. Right now it looks more like a demo of himself

While lone players are left cold, and hit detection can be inconsistent, the new tactical environmental destruction and tense atmosphere make for a fierce and focused multiplayer experience.
Rainbow Six: Siege präsentiert sich wie erwartet als großartiger Taktik-Shooter mit leider einigen Schwächen in Sachen Umfang, Langzeitmotivation und dem Matchmaking. Der kurzweilige Spielspaß ist auch sehr stark von euren Gegner und Mitspielern abhängig, daher empfehlen wir den Titel eher als vollständiges Team oder sehr Frust resistenter Team-Spieler eine Chance zu geben. Die taktische Kompomente von Siege überzeugt durchgehend und ist auch der Hauptgrund, warum sich der Titel von den meisten Shootern auf dem Markt stark abheben kann.

When things fall into place, and you do find yourself lost in the moment, Siege will frighten you and challenge you. Stakes and tensions run high whether playing solo or in a group, but the game truly shines when you're working with a coherent team, so pick this game up and find one. When you're on a squad with tactical, patient teammates, Rainbow Six Siege offers a multiplayer experience unlike anything you've played - the kind of experience that you think and dream about long after you've put the controller down.
Although the single-player side of the game is weak, Rainbow Six: Siege's multiplayer modes are a huge amount of fun. Tense, thoughtful, and tactical, they play very differently to most run-and-gun shooters. While the game's content does feel a little slim at launch, there's no denying it's highly enjoyable to play - especially when you have a team of players working together.
Without a single player campaign and only a small selection of effectively interchangeable game modes, Rainbow Six Siege is a game with a fairly limited scope. However, there's still a solid and very enjoyable tactical shooter at its core, especially when played with friends, and it's one which will only grow over time as Ubisoft add more maps and content.
For me, the game does all the right things. It might not be the return of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, and it might have more than a few bugs to iron out before it's competition ready, but it's exactly what I expected -- competitive SWAT 4 -- and Ubisoft keep saying the right things about their post-release plans. Only time will tell though. To quote the mantra of my favourite fictional FBI officer... "I want to believe."
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.

Rainbow Six Siege has a lot going for it when it comes to the long haul. While three modes doesn't sound like a lot, the sheer volume of variables involved will result in an experience that constantly stays fresh, even with the current pool of 11 maps. While a few other major shooters have let me down this year, I think Siege is one of the games I'll be playing the most going forward.
The game can be enjoyable, but the barrier to entry is so high that it's hard to recommend.
Precise to a fault, Rainbow Six Siege sees the franchise embarking on an intriguing and highly entertaining premise. The lack of content can be a nagging issue though unless Ubisoft really starts stepping up.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has the polish of a big budget release, but the amount of content that one expects to see from a low budget free-to-play game.
Rainbow Six Siege is a nice return for the series, but know about its caveats before diving in. This is a team game. Communication is necessary, and it is not a twitch shooter. If those things sound appealing, then Siege is definitely worth the time.
Ubisoft Montreal's intense counter-terrorism simulation should satisfy FPS fans interested strategy and teamwork
The legacy of Tom Clancy lives on with Rainbow Six.
A multiplayer tactical shooter with a lot of potential but still a bit 'sour to be enjoyed in every way. An honest advice? Play it only with trusted friends.

For all of the wonderful craft on show, Siege doesn't contain any surprises. It executes its plan to perfection but there's no room for deviation.
