I liked the Rainbow Six novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed the original Rainbow Six games, particularly the very first game released in 1998 and on of my favourite games of all time Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (2003). The best thing about it was the playability of the single player campaign, which Rainbow Six: Siege sorely lacks, instead has a huge emphasis on multiplayer following in the footsteps of such games as Call of Duty and Battlefield.
Although Rainbow Six: Siege is what you make of it, I find the game to be mostly repetitive and multiplayer missions is a different experience. If you fail the mission or don't perform up to standard you can expect a backlash from other players online. The game has its moments but it's hardly addictive gameplay.
As a Rainbow Six fan, it is such a shame considering I was eagerly looking forward to a new Rainbow Six game. If Rainbow Six sticks with what previously attracted many players to the game I would consider staying faithful to the series, but seeing as I feel that Rainbow Six: Siege felt like a average experience, I am not so sure.
Unless you enjoy strategic multiplayer games you may enjoy it, otherwise if you are a fan of shoot em up games you won't get much enjoyment out of it.
6/10.
