This game is beast, the levels are fun and challenging. Co-op online is ten times better especially if you play with a friend who is really good. You can create poetry in motion together.

Great game, personally speaking the best I have played to-date. It looks visually polished, has very fluid gameplay when you get good. The ability to play in the style you like is excellent.

Ok, wait just a second here. You expect me to play a Splinter Cell game where Sam Fisher isn't played by Michael Ironside? Yeah, that's not going to happen. Those were the immediate thoughts that ran through my head when it was announced that Mr.

Splinter Cell: Conviction's action-oriented gameplay left hardcore fans questioning the new direction that Ubisoft was choosing for Sam Fisher. However, there were also gamers, including newcomers to the franchise, who greatly enjoyed what Conviction had to offer.

+ Endless amount of gameplay, + Variety of play styles, + Captivating story, + Spies vs; Mercs

- Lack of narrative alteration due to choices; - Some play styles within areas are predetermined; - Filler game sequences feel out of place

The only problem I have is that it lacks Ironside... Sam Fisher IS Michael Ironside regardless of what actor they try and replace him with the man is simply irreplaceable, I actually played the game with his voice in my head.

After the disappointing "conviction", Sam Fisher is back to what he does best. Stealth. The game offers you the option to play through the game however you choose, with three styles of play. Panther (silent but lethal), Ghost (silent and non-lethal) and Assault (does what it says on the tin).

The Splinter Cell games have been taking players on Jason Bourne-esque adventures for just over ten years, and now the series returns with Blacklist. Unlike 2010's Conviction, which was exclusive to Xbox 360, Blacklist is also available on PlayStation 3 and Wii U, returning series protagonist Sam...

Well paced third person tactical adventure; Good balance between sneaking and action gameplay

Storyline is somewhat convoluted at times; Environments can feel a bit samey

The Splinter Cell series has had a pretty fantastic run so far, with nearly every game scoring mid-80s or much higher. That said, Splinter Cell: Conviction received a little more of an icy reception (though it scored well with most outlets) for a few nagging technical issues and some...

Solid and mostly believable narrative, Better-than-average voice acting, including Eric Johnson as Sam, The Paladin as a hub is a great concept, Spies vs; Mercs is back!, and better than ever, Solid graphical presentation overall, Varied environments make for fantastic playgrounds, This game is a...

Occasionally characters get stuck in the environment; Some minor graphical texture tearing; Disc switching for cooperative missions once you get to disc two

… This game is going to be a bit like Conviction. Now let me try to explain this, I like Conviction, but when I play that game and think back to the more old school days of Chaos Theory, Pandora Tomorrow and especially the original Splinter Cell, I can't help but feel a bit agitated that Ubisoft has...

This is the first Splinter Cell game I have played and am very much impressed by it. What I like the most is that it's up to you how you want to play it - you can sneak past the enemies, distract them and take them down with non-lethal hand-to-hand moves, or just unleash hell and shoot them all.
