Summary
Splinter Cell Blacklist builds on the stealth roots of the franchise, while exploring new directions to embrace the realms of action and adventure. Players can define their personal play styles and be rewarded for those choices.
Ghost players want to remain undetected.
Assault players rely on instincts and firepower to deal with a situation.
Panther players strike lethally from the shadows in the most efficient and silent way.
Storyline
The United States has a military presence in two-thirds of countries around the world. Some of them have had enough. A group of terrorists calling themselves The Engineers initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist – a deadly countdown of escalating attacks on US interests at home and abroad.
Sam is back in his ops suit and goggles, and he’s more lethal and agile than ever. Granted the freedom to do whatever it takes to stop the Blacklist, Sam flies from exotic locales to US cities as he races against the clock to find out who’s behind this devastating threat.

It delivers its promises as a stealth and action packed game but it lacks excitement .The game's stealth is uninteresting , you don't reallyIt delivers its promises as a stealth and action packed game but it lacks excitement .The game's stealth is uninteresting , you don't really have many options to experiment .You can't crawl , which should always be a part of stealth games .You mainly press Q to find cover and then press Space to move to another cover .Problem is that , it makes the game less immersive when you do that .The story is captivating at first but doesn't hold itself up well as the game progresses .It doesn't help that the enemy A.I isn't very good .The game is buggy , enemy game models still look alive even though they are killed .Though this game deserves a mixed review because there are some good aspects to this game .But still it lacks a lot .Worth a try but don't expect too much .
I LIKED this game and I'm not a big fan of shooters that have little strategy. I found the side missions were interesting but too few and II LIKED this game and I'm not a big fan of shooters that have little strategy. I found the side missions were interesting but too few and I don't play coop or multiplayer so I couldn't experience those missions. But the solo missions were challenging enough. The main mission was interesting, and it took a while to figure out the tactics. You do need a pretty good gaming computer to avoid issues, and I would highly recommend this game to those who like a combination of stealth and strength.
Splinter Cell Blacklist is one of the better entries in the long livedspy-saga. It offers great gameplay choices and sneaking is heavilyrewarded. On top of that the multiplayer is also confidently crafted.The one thing lacking is the banal story with flat characterizationthat hinders Splinter Cell Blacklist from reaching any narrative highpoints.
Still, whether this is your first Splinter Cell or your eighth, you deserve to give it a shot because while it’s not the best Splinter Cell, it is one of them.
Fisher’s annoyingly sulky character, questionable controls when it comes to grabbing people next to doors, traditionally daft ending level and the buggy Uplay services – these are pretty much all the sins of Blacklist. They can be easily forgiven because the rest of the game is stealth action goodness.
