In GameSpot's Siege review Scott Butterworth awarded the game an 8/10, saying his "experiences weren't always perfect, but when Siege works, there's nothing else like it."

　　He continued: "It's not designed to appeal to all players, and that's exactly what allows it to be something special. With so much strategic depth, those periods between firefights actually become some of the most rewarding, while firefights themselves are made all the more intense by the knowledge that you're fighting for your life, not just your kill/death ratio."
