    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    "Blacklist" is the biggest Splinter Cell ever made, if not the best. It combines the fast action of "Conviction" with the vast environments of "Chaos Theory". The game features several firearms, clothing and gadgets that can be purchased with in-game currency. Its story campaign includes various side-missions that can be played cooperatively with a partner (online or off). These missions"Blacklist" is the biggest Splinter Cell ever made, if not the best.

"Blacklist" also brings back Spies Vs. Mercs from "Pandora Tomorrow". This mode can be played in either the classic version or in an updated form. Overall, this Splinter Cell is loaded with content and challenges. While not quite a masterpiece, "Blacklist" is very good. I would put it up there with Far Cry 3. This is an 8.5 out of 10.… Expand

    Blacklist is a definite improvement to its predecessor Conviction. While still hampered by problems both old and new to the series.

Blacklist seemed to gel its more action focused set pieces with the traditional stealth that the series is known for a lot better then Conviction did. Although there are still some rather frustrating parts in the game typically involving action over stealth it doesn't go to overboard with it. The story isn't to great i wouldn't call it bad but its nothing to special. I also didn't care for the side missions as they seemed more built for co op and playing solo felt like nothing more then time wasters. Buying gadgets and equipment was a good addition it defiantly gives you initiative to go after side objectives in the missions although i wish they more interesting then the 3 options they have pasted in each level. Overall i think the game is fine the base stealth is really enjoyable and the levels were fun theirs just a lot of other things around the core game play that are rather week in my opinion. And i really do hope we get another game from this franchise as it could do so much better then this for a finally i feel.… Expand

    I am a big Splinter Cell fan. I have played all 6 games in the series. This one is my favorite (Chaos Theory is my second favorite). SP: Blacklist is one of my favorite games ever!

You have three ways to advance in the missions, these styles allow you to re-play the missions and are not restrictive being able to combine styles
    • Ghost: Infiltration and stealth
    • Panther: Stealth, stalking and minor clashes
    • Assault: Be the same unrecognized brother of Rambo
    Plot twists agree if you hit or miss. The game allows you to decide the order of activities including personal missions of the team for cooperative and competitive. Spies vs. Mercenaries returns as a competitive multiplayer mode. The advanced AI of the enemies, they surround you, they take you out of coverage, the terrorist group The Architects have countermeasures to interfere with your sensors, Voron has your same gadgets including tri-rotary drones and mobile drones that interfere with your gadgets. There are infiltration missions in which the restriction varies (not being detected, not killing anyone, etc.) which gives the game an extra challenge

    The bad:
    The bad sales of this game sent Sam and his team to the freezer. The progression of the purchase of the improvements, all are chained so you can not go to the improvement you want without previously obtaining all the previous ones. The plus improvements and “premium” content are already out of reach because they were unlocked with a Mobile App that is no longer available and in Uplay (some have already removed them). "The fans" were asking for the return of Spies vs. Mercenaries for a long time and this game has it but they didn't even peel it. The multiplayer at the time emptied very fast and today is abandoned

    The Meh!: The cost of the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell license and its bad sales meant that Ubisoft will not consider a reissue in the new generation. This game was overshadowed by all the glamor of the new generation back in 2012-2013 and the new and "revolutionary game of the most solid snakes" (MGSV) that first sold a demo with a mission and later an unfinished game and the press put them 100 and people keep applauding them     … Expand

Assassin's Creed ! se taper la moitié d'un niveau en vue FPS ?... Call Of Duty ! mais on dira Far Cry 3 si on est indulgent...

    Cela dit, l'essentiel demeure, le choix de l'infiltration (ou pas) avec le lot habituel de gadgets revu encore à la hausse, l'interface excellente, les niveaux réussis et très étudiés, l'IA assez convaincante, l'histoire à la Clancy grotesque et sans intérêt (une constante dans les Splinter) les graphismes agréables et la VF impeccable (on retrouve la voix de Daniel Beretta (Schwarzy et Fisher depuis le tout premier). La musique marque le pas par contre, très oubliable et quelconque.

    Okay I'll put it in separate points, mixing the pros and cons...

    - The writing is the weakest link of this game. If you want a game that cares about adequate story telling, three-dimensional characters, or thought provoking debates then this is not the thing for you. It's your typical jingoistic story. Murica's-right-everyone-else-is-wrong mentality runs throughout the entire game. -    Okay I'll put it in separate points, mixing the pros and cons...

Murica's-right-everyone-else-is-wrong mentality runs throughout the entire game.

    - Sam has lost all his wits and became unforgivingly brain-dead, angry all the time and very uninteresting. Others in his team are also very dull characters, perhaps Charlie and Kobin were slightly interesting. but that doesn't redeem how little they cared about writing complex characters. In fact, they ruined all the good parts that Sam Fisher had in the previous instalments.

    - You have the option to play in 3 different styles, and you're rewarded for playing in each, which is great. But still playing in panther (killing everyone but silently) is still objectively much easier to do, and subjectively more fun, which is not necessarily a bad thing, really. I enjoyed playing panther a lot.

    - The gameplay is fun and entertaining. especially in panther. It's very diverse and thought-provoking that at times it feels like a strategy game. You're constantly thinking what's the smartest approach. and it doesn't get boring fast, though after a while it doesn't feel very inventive any more.    … Expand

    An amalgam of the best aspects of previous Splinter Cell outings, Blacklist is a fine example of a great stealth game. It thinks critically of what the previous games accomplished and combines them in a great single player, coop, and multiplayer game. I've been playing this one quite a bit in the past year and it still hasn't gotten old. easily one of the best entries in the series.

    Couple of things need to get done in the new Splinter Cell 7 :

    I. SLOW IT DOWN AND USE A NEW ENGINE, like the Unreal Engine again and implement rolls, lock-picking, and MOST IMPORTANT the ability to move in DIFFERENT SPEEDS, not only in two ...

    II. Remove THE COVER-SYSTEM ... Whoever thought that this is a good idea ... it may is, but not in this cind of game ... it works in a game like Gears of War but not in a third person stealth game, that has more to offer than stupid action shootings ... in fact it DECREASES FREEDOM for the player ... because he is bounded to that stupid covers all the time and not able to move around freely ...

    III. REMOVE ASSAULT GAMEPLAY ... because it is a stealth game and not a Tomb Raider Action Adventure ... seriously noone wants to play a stealth game in assault mode ... so in the name of godfather ... REMOVE MARK AND EXECUTE AND SONAR GOOGLES ... I would love you only for that ... and remove that possibility to buy thousands of weapons or pick em up and to just shoot anyone ... it is senseless here in this particular game ...

    IV. REMOVE EVERY SINGLE SADISTIC TENDENCY OF SAM AND THE GAME ITSELF ... as it just teaches wrong ethics to the youth and feels wrong and senseless ... games dont have to be brutal to be good guys ... and Splinter Cell has the philosophy to dont hurt anyone, to do it the professional and unbloody way ...

    V. REINTRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY TO CATCH AND CONSULT ENEMIES ... as that was a core feature of Splinter Cell in every game that used to be Splinter Cell ... it is an important feature and a nice gameplay element ... besides that think about reintroducing computers, doorcodes, retinascanners, some new cool stuff, too ...

    VI. THINK ABOUT EFFICIENCY ... like if a new gadget or an alternative path is not efficient, nobody will like to use it because it is senseless if there is a more efficient way ... like the Hack System in Chaos Theory was way to dominant ... it was to easy to use it instead of getting a doorcode or something, so that it actually destroyed many great gameplaypossibilities just because it made them not efficient anymore ... same thing for alternative roots ...

    VII. THINK ABOUT REALISM ... so dont make Sam talk loud into the mike while he is hiding behind enemies like in Chaos Theory ... and dont let him come to close to the enemy like in Chaos Theory, too ...

    That are some core basics, that you should think about ... that I as a first hour fan of Splinter Cell, a hardcore fan of the game, would like you to think about ... peace and love !    … Expand

    I was excited for this release.. But was disappointed.
    Pros:
    Choices on how to play, ghost, panther, assault- more flexibility much like crysis or far cry.
    Customising Sam was great.
    A fair bit of content.

    Cons:
    Way too hard.
    Bad graphics, this wasn't a 13 game.
    Screen tearing.
    Bad facial animations.
    Bad and pointless story.

As we scrambled to find solutions, sure that no company could allow an ongoing issue as big as the inability to connect to any friends on THEIR MANDATORY GAME DISTRIBUTION PLATFORM our hearts sank as we found out that people have been reporting this problem for around 6 or 7 months now. Obviously no headway was being made by the devs, so we set about to find a solution ourselves. About 2 hours of work later we both said screw it, no game is worth this much work when for years we haven't had issues playing any previous games together. There are about a hundred different forum posts about this, so I know that the problem is widespread, but Ubisoft forum managers always just claim that customers should contact customer support, which simply tells you to mess around with your firewall settings and the like, which is just general speak for 'we don't know what's going on, try some basic stuff to try and fix it while we do nothing on a more complicated level like trying to rewrite any game code or fix how our modems and servers work'. The software for smooth, clean co-op connection has been around for like a decade, only adding to our incredible frustration at not being able to fulfill the primary purpose for which we bought the game. Sure, you can fix the issue with a combination of firewall exceptions, port forwarding, deleting certain programs and a whole lot of other work, but it just isn't worth it when literally no other game has made me do this before. I feel cheated, and almost like I should be refunded for the unfinished product which no one is doing anything about to fix. While looking up fixes I found people claiming that this very issue happened with previous Ubisoft games for years and NO ONE FIXED THEM. I rate this a 0 not because it is a bad game, but because it was literally unplayable and unfinished to the point that I felt that I deserved my money back because I didn't want it going to a company with such terrible customer support or response to such issues.… Expand

And let me put it right out there, this game is really good and out of the entire game I encountered only two issues that got on my nerve, and let me address the elephants in the room right off the start. The graphics and especially facial animation arent very good. And in spies vs mercs blacklist I feel is more 3rd person shooter rather than the suspense of the classic.

    Now to the good part.... well thats pretty much everything else. Lets make a comparison Splinter cell BL vs call of duty ghosts one is a challenge and requires mind power to overcome and the other an ape to shoot up with precision. Dont get me wrong im an avid call of duty player but I love the change of things that splinter cell challenges me in every way. Something im not used to in the brain dead call of duty franchise.

    Here is an open territory there is 15 guards how do you deal with this.... in whichever way you want! Thats the beauty of it and I like to take it on personally like in my pandora tomorrow or chaos theory days like a badass wiping every enemy out and later when the inspector comes along no one even knew I was there and the only evidence is a trail of bodies from last night. Yes this game is rewarding personally and customizably. I have owned every splinter cell game and I have never been dissapointed, and once again ubisoft drags me in from the corners just like sam fisher would.

    Besides a lack of beautiful graphics its all balanced and a game that can really be enjoyed by everyone...
    Then the spies vs mercs came along...

    Wow is it intense! late at night I slip on my pair of turtle beach and head onto the classic servers. As merc I wonder around protecting my intel with only a torch to see in the very dark maps. This is what is special the racing of your heart knowing there could be two spies right behind without you even knowing it. And with a good headset you hear the footsteps upon the tin roof, quickly turning your flashlight towards the position only finding nothing. Genuine intense stuff!! Then you a spy and boy do you then feel the power looking at mercs from the rooftop as they walk round nervously. Im hunting my pray and then steal the intel. Hack into the system you hide. And thats when the pressure is on because the mercs are anxious and out to rid of your sneaky ways because if they dont they fail. Its hardcore being in dark spot only seeing the flashlight pass you, your heart beating thinking 'please dont find me' to me all in all those thrills make evrything good about the multiplayer or lets be honest it would just be average.

    So why do I give it a 9?
    Rewarding in every aspect
    Take it on however you want
    Be a badass
    Spies vs mercs classic

    Why is it not a 10
    lackluster graphics

    Spies can just instantly stab and kill Mercs. Instead of having to take them out stealthly and choke them. In double agent you could even talk to the Merc as you choke the life out of them.

    Most will likely find it a fairly inoffensive time-consumer. But it is a new low for the series. [Issue#139, p.90]

    Meaty chunks of great stealth game book-ended by identity breaking flourishes. [Nov 2013, p.56]

    The design mantra, it would appear, is to offer you as much freedom as possible. [Issue#102, p.70]
