First of all the microtransactions are expensive and due to the worst toxicity I have ever experienced in a game, investing money is not worth it. This is a very Toxic Game ruined by gamers young and old. Ubisoft has done nothing to fix the problem. Team Kills are one of the biggest problems.

Rainbow Six Siege is already fighting a difficult battle trying to enforce a more methodical vision of a competitive shooter. It's a minor miracle that Ubisoft Montreal has built such a solid foundation in that regard.

The opening cinematic for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege introduces a new type of terrorist, a white-masked group that's "indiscriminate of age, race, or religion." This serves the game's nonexistent campaign well, while also emphasizing the barren, aimless nature of the experience.

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.

Micro-destruction adds new tactical depth; Brilliantly balanced asymmetrical action; Well-designed maps that feel fresh each time

Needless microtransactions in a full-priced game; Spotty hit detection; Not much in terms of single player

Sometimes I think critics -- and the consumer -- expect all games to be all things to all people. Take a game that only has a strong single player campaign. What! No multiplayer support? the critics complain.

One of the best multiplayer experiences of the year, but the cost of entry and the lack of content make it a harder sell then it should be.

Hostage Rescue is excellent and the wide range of different operators and maps all work well; The other modes are also fun, if less substantial; Destruction effects are fantastic

There's only three modes, one of which is a bare bones single-player; Distasteful use of microtransactions; Lack of communication can make the game almost unplayable

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.

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.

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...

Teamwork! Are you looking for the reason why you should buy Rainbow Six: Siege over one of the other myriad of shooters that have come out this winter? Then you now have that reason.
