Splinter Cell: Blacklist Review | The Controller Online

TCO writes:

"Splinter Cell: Blacklist may not have been at the top of my most anticipated games list, but being a fan of everything Tom Clancy, whether it’s a book, movie or video game, I was still excited to check it out. Now that I’ve had a chance to play it, I’m glad that I didn’t watch every trailer or have a demo to replay a million times because it allowed me to go into it with a clean slate and be surprised by just how good it really was. That doesn’t happen very often when you write about and review video games, so it was a welcome change of pace. Let’s take a look at Splinter Cell: Blacklist."

I was looking forward to it, but I was still surprised by just how good it is. It's one of my favorite games of the generation. It is packed with content and is just so much fun.

DaGR8JIBRALTAR3907d ago (Edited 3907d ago )

yep...wasn't even gonna buy it,now I'm glad I did.Between this, bioshock(haven't finished),the last of us(haven't finished)and gta v...I'll be very busy untill the new systems drop.

starchild3907d ago

Yep, I have more games on my PC and consoles than I know what to do with. Well, more than I have time for anyway.

I'll make time for Blacklist though, because it's pure awesomeness.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - A Decade in the Shadows

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

CoNn3rB260d ago

Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years

kevco33260d ago

10 years, in fact. He must be, like, 60 by now?

phoenixwing259d ago (Edited 259d ago )

why make an inspired game that takes effort when you can half ass it with multiplayer gaas games and filler filled assassins creed games?

That question up there is the reason you don't see splinter cell games

zarbor259d ago

Yup, another example that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

MIDGETonSTILTS17259d ago

The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.

It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.

The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.

The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?

FYouDad259d ago

Because Ghost is the method fans of the series actually prefer? IMark and execute is never forced upon the player you liiterally never have to bother using it even once throughout Blacklist.

Tody_ZA259d ago

The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.

Rikimaru-00259d ago

Isn't UBI Soft remaking splinter cell.

Sam Fisher Deserves Better

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Ubisoft, we need to chat. Please, have a seat. Thanks. Ok, so I think you know why you’re here. No it has nothing to do with all those game delays, we’ll talk about that later. What? No it’s not about the Skulls & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2 falling off the face of the Earth, just listen. We need to talk about Splinter Cell. Don’t give me that look, you know this conversation needs to happen. The way you’ve treated the series, its fans and poor Sam Fisher himself is sad, infuriating and just plain disappointing and it needs to stop."

The Fish!!!

I'd love to see a remastered edition of those games as well as something new. It's about time.

UltraNova1499d ago

MGS is done, at least as we know it so it's now or never Ubi, give Fisher the reboot it deserves. And for Gods sake, don't you dare turn Splinter Cell into another Division/Ghost reckon online abomination instead of a SP focused steath action game!

Psychonaut851499d ago

You know they will though. This is Ubisoft we’re talking about

zachyBROosevelt1499d ago (Edited 1499d ago )

I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it

Profchaos1499d ago

I think reboot the entire franchise the games were great but every time they try to make him human like a father or something it comes of as unbelievable

hiawa231499d ago

They added damn near every SC game to Xbox1X back compat enahnced list. That is a lot of Sam enhanced and I am loving it, but Sam deserves a new next gen game.
