SPLINTER CELL BLACK LIST Gamer Review

Oh the joys of killing someone in the dark, brings back so many memories. Well splinter Cell Black List has plenty of that and I can say for sure that it is a game worth paying for. In this game you are a secret agent trying to take down either bad people, or bad government agency's. How you do it is completely up to you. Splinter Cell Blacklist has a fantastic story and no matter how many times I've played it, it always kept me at the edge of my seat.


In a way you can say Splinter Cell is like a modern Assassins creed. Hide in dark to drop on enemies and stab them, or just silently shoot them with mere stealth. If you don't like the whole "sneak in sneak out deal" then feel free to just walk in and tell everyone your guns says hi. In other terms you can compare it to Batman Arkham Asylum. I say this because of the gadgets you have. For instance like heat signature,mines, a remote controlled robot that shoots darts at people. Because of all these gadgets, there is plenty of ways to get through a mission. All missions can be beat without killing anyone.


 Multiplayer started out as a hit but later on just flat out sucked. Much like in Batman Arkham games you have the ability to see through walls. So this means a entire team can camp on any part of the map and see through a wall, then shoot you before you even turned the corner. They also made a huge mistake in the multiplayer for having gas grenades and poison grenades in it. Reason I say this, is because who ever is hit by a gas grenade is stunned and there's not much you can do when they run up and knife you. I also noticed that if you go head on to knife a player at a higher level then you, the player can reverse it and end up knifing you. As you can see why, I dropped multiplayer quick. Co-op on the other hand is extremely fun! But make sure you have a mic as communication is key. In co-op there is everything from survival to sneak in without being seen. Only bad thing is that you will still get that whiny kid from Call of Duty to join your game and randomly shoot everyone...



 Single player upgrades are great. Throughout the game your base is in a secret military plane. This plane can be upgraded to help you in missions. You can upgrade rooms on the plane so your crew can find and make better upgrades for you. This game makes upgrades very important as they can help you in huge ways. They help you from seeing who is behind the wall to where is a secret file i need to find? This game is a favorite because I like that there is always a different ways to beat each mission. And I'm sure just like most people, the wide variety in a game is always good in a game. For this game I give it a 8 out of 10.

Pro's: • Great story
• Gadgets are awesome
 • Always more then one way to do a mission
 • It keeps you wanting to play more
 • Controls are easy
• Co-op can be awesome at times.

 Con's:
 • Multiplayer sucks
• Still get little kids on game
