Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Xbox 360

As the latest chapter of the Splinter Cell saga, Blacklist comes in full power. It has solid gameplay, gripping story, and a great cast. Although they recast Michael Ironsides as Sam, the new guy sounds just like him minus his gruff attitude. It actually fits a lot more with the visual change they did with Sam since the last game. I also like the fact that you can earn in game cash through the free Spiderbot app they released along side it for phones. There really isn't much to complain about this game at all. The side missions are very challenging and will most likely kill you more often than not, but the good thing is that no matter what, if you lose a side mission or quit a main mission (which you can do now if you start getting overwhelmed), you just go back to your flying HQ and still keep all money you earned during that mission. Very useful if you need to save up money for upgrades.

Great story and great action. This game is the best of the series

Visuals - A Gameplay - A Sound - A Strategy - A Excellent game and its difficult even on the normal level. Moving up in levels should allow for longer gameplay. Havent done co-op yet.

I've been playing Splinter Cell games since they first came out and have always been a big fan. The only one I didn't love was Double Agent on 360, although Double Agent on original Xbox was good. Anyway... Blacklist is great. Best SC game? Hard to say, it's a great series. BUT, it has consumed all of my free time since launch and I love it. The co-op is great when I can find a friend to play with. The match-making for co-op is predictably hit or miss. The multiplayer (Spys v Mercs) is good, but it's not really my cup of tea - maybe if I had 3 other people I knew who I could play with I'd enjoy it, but with 3 random XBL people it just doesn't do it for me. SO, I go back to single player or co-op and love it. All of that said, I'm sad that the Brigg's missions REQUIRE co-op because I'd prefer to play with friends, but it's hard to coordinate with friends and they are great missions that I CANNOT replay without a partner. I've played them with randoms, and it was hit or miss. When you find somebody good who doesn't drop out mid mission and who knows how to play, it's fun. Over all, I'd give it 9/10. The only extra point is the missions I cannot play (Briggs) without some serious coordination or patience with finding an XBL player who is fun to play with. Great story, controls. graphics, gameplay, everything. Get this game if you have any inclination toward stealth games. THEN, get Hitman Absolution, another amazing stealth game.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a total improvement and successor to Double Agent and Conviction. Despite Conviction being a great action-packed game, Blacklist is far more exciting and lives up to its name. The action is solid, the audio on my Xbox 360 is very sharp, the gameplay is very straight forward and astonishing because of how action-packed it is, and their separate challenges on another mode is spectacular. On other modes, instead of going through a storyline, you really get to test your silent killing skills and how you deal with your enemies. Overall, I believe that if Ubisoft keeps making Splinter Cell, I bet it will keep getting better and better. I really recommend this game to those who first of all, likes the Splinter Cell games, for people who likes shooters, and furthermore, being somewhat patient in really wanting to accurately killing their enemies silently.

Always loved Splinter Cell games, great gameplay, stories decent, mutiplayers fun, and all that's great but I still can't get over the new voice actor! It just doesn't sound like Sam Fisher to me.

My brother has some of the other games and I bought this for him last Christmas, to this day he loves playing it over and over and was so happy to almost complete the game set.

Some old and new elements blend together for one of the best Splinter Cell games yet. A home base that reminds me of Mass Effect's spaceship, allows you to choose missions, setup load-outs and upgrades, and interact with your team. Some of the side missions can be rough without any checkpoints in them, especially if you're a perfectionist. Most of the game lets you choose how you play; stealth or action or both. Very fun time and lots to do.
