The entry into Splinter Cell - Blacklist was extremely difficult for me. First hit me the game a cheesy story about the ears. Then I will suddenly creep back, and at first only the basic equipment. Therefore, it takes time until I felt like a special agent and my adversary befördere shapely afterlife.
But then makes Splinter Cell - Blacklist mood. I combine my little helpers together, outsmart the guards and angry, times when a plan goes wrong. Blacklist plays fast but offers more depth than its predecessor. The areas are slightly larger, sometimes wild climbing permit actions. I also like the many extras that I can underline my style of play.
Away from the campaign was particularly the multiplayer mode with its co-op and versus options absolutely in itself. Splinter Cell - Blacklist may not be as emotionally touching as some other game of this year. But for hobby Schleicher and friends of online duels it would all be interesting.
