It's been quite a while since we had a Rainbow Six game, the last being Vegas 2 back in 2008 (As long as you don't count 2011's Android/iOS outing "Shadow Vanguard) After such a long time away, can the series still have the impact it did back in the day

The Rainbow Six games franchise has been running for an extremely long time now. Indeed, last year's cancelled Rainbow Six Patriots would have been the eighteenth game to bear the franchise name.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege – the name conjures up all you need to know, aside from the fact that Six is the name of the character played by Angela Bassett , who bosses you about. Fans of the series will be well aware it's another entry in the first-person tactical shooter genre.

I'm a single player kinda guy. Sure, I'll get embroiled in multiplayer modes from time to time but, for me, it's always the single player campaign that's the biggest draw. So, understandably, I approached Rainbow Six: Siege with some trepidation, as, much like Titanfall and the more recent Star Wars...

It's been seven years since the release of the last Rainbow Six game, and in that time we saw the cancellation of one game in the series (Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Patriots) and the birth of another in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege .

Rainbow Six Vegas may have been one of my favorite shooters from the Xbox 360. The venue was enjoyable, tactics such as the rappel and breach-and-clear, added some strategy to clearing rooms, and the Terrorist Hunt mode was entertaining to play.

While previous Rainbow Six games have been geared towards single player or cooperatively fought missions against terrorist AI, Ubisoft are taking the franchise in a brave new direction with a main focus on 5v5 competitive multiplayer.

Smart and tactical; + Balanced gameplay; + Great team mechanic

Bad back end issues; Not for the lone wolf

Rainbow Six: Siege is not for everyone. The game highly emphasizes on multiplayer and offers very limited single player content. If you purchase this game in hopes to play some lone wolf scenarios you're in for some big disappointment.

after the hype and build up it was a disappointment tbh, slow pace and not very enjoyable

Great game, did a few situations then jumped straight online and its easy to get use to. equally as good as battlefield or cod, nice to play a game that is a bit more about tactics rather than K/D ratio a nice switch up. Would recommend.
