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

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.

Artists have a fascination with violence in entertainment, whether it's over the top and visceral, or the understated and disturbing; but let's be honest with ourselves for a second. When it comes to first person shooters, the most popular ones are not portraying violence in the latter.

Excellent Replayability; Great Destruction; Endless Depth

No Terrorist Hunt Customization; Frustrating Netcode

This is the best tactical shooter hands down. You really need to work as a team to win.

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 .

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

Ino its not out yet but I played the beta an I must say best game yet

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.

This game is so much fun!!

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
