Product Description A group of terrorists calling themselves The Engineers have had enough of US military occupation all over the world and initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist - a deadly countdown of escalating attacks on U.S. interests. Armed with state-of-the-art technology, top-of-the-line-gadgets, deadly combat abilities and an elite team known as the 4th Echelon, Sam Fisher holds nothing back to get the job done through whatever means necessary to stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero. Sam is back in his tactical suit and goggles, and he’s more lethal and agile than ever. Granted the freedom to do whatever it takes to stop the Blacklist, Sam flies from exotic locales to U.S. cities as he races against the clock to find out who’s behind this devastating threat. Amazon.com Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell™The United States has a military presence in two thirds of countries around the world. A group of 12 have had enough and initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist - a deadly countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. interests. Sam Fisher is the leader of the newly formed 4th Echelon unit: a clandestine unit that answers solely to the President of the United States. Sam and his team must hunt down these terrorists by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero. Key Game FeaturesOperate without Restrictions Sam is back in his tactical suit and goggles, and he’s more deadly than ever.

Thrilling gameplay is enhanced by full motion performance capture, creating a highly cinematic experience. Kill in Motion Always one step ahead, Killing In Motion lets Sam strike with lethal precision by marking and executing multiple enemies in one fluid motion. Active Sprint allows him to traverse the environment easily and fluidly, climb walls and leap over barriers in order to reach his next target while on the move.

I fear that in the coming years, we as gamers aren't going to have the privilege of receiving such content-rich packages like Splinter Cell: Blacklist very often. In the modern era of digital distribution, with different game modes beginning to fragment and trend towards becoming commercially viable products on their own, something as rich as Splinter Cell Blacklist is quite a treat. Splinter Cell: Blacklist delivers a very meaty, replayable single player campaign, a wealth of deep cooperative content, and some of the best multiplayer content we've seen since...well, probably since Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, thanks to the return of the glorious Spies vs. Mercs multiplayer mode. Blacklist is a labor of love, and a fine return to form for the Splinter Cell series. This is a game that will please both the older stealth fans of the series, as well as newer players who enjoyed the more action-orientated approach of the previous entry in the series, Splinter Cell: Conviction.After an explosive introductory sequence that does a very nice job of teaching you how to play, you take control of Sam Fisher on his floating jet/fortress, the Paladin. The Paladin serves as a hub to the game's different playable modes, as well as serving as a upgradable headquarters where Sam can purchase and modify equipment, talk to his partners, and stay in contact with the outside world. Most players will likely want to start with the single player campaign, which makes up the heart of Blacklist. While the narrative of the campaign isn't as memorable as past Splinter Cell games, it more than makes up for it with not only some of the best level design the series has ever seen, but also a level of flexibility that the series has never seen before. Three play styles are available to experiment with and master: the silent, non-lethal Ghost, the quiet, deadly Panther, and the all-out carnage of Assault. Moving through a level while sticking to a particular playstyle will not only give you bonus mastery points for doing well in each one, but also encourages replaying the levels to try new styles. Don't want to stick to either of these three? Mix it up all you want! The game allows for this too. Sam Fisher is a much more capable hero in this game, easily able to shoot his way out of a tight situation and disappear into the shadows quickly. Similar to last year's stealth masterpiece, Dishonored, Splinter Cell: Blacklist gives you numerous options for not only playing the way you want to play, but also in how to proceed through each mission. Numerous hidden paths and multiple routes through each level allow each mission to be tackled in the way that best suits the gamer. Like other recent great stealth games such as Mark of the Ninja and the aforementioned Dishonored, Blacklist gives you freedom and flexibility, and in doing do, delivers arguably the best single player campaign the Splinter Cell series has ever seen.Also available from the Paladin is a number of side missions in all new environments that are not tied to the single player campaign. These include missions where you must remain undetected in order to achieve certain goals, missions where you must eliminate everyone in an area and detection will cause for them to call for massive reinforcemnts, and combat missions where you fight off wave after wave of enemies (ala Gears of War Horde mode). Each of these types of missions caters to one of the specific play styles detailed previously, and will force players to move out of their comfort zone. Success in these missions yields various rewards, mostly in the form of persistent monetary funds that carry over across both missions and multiplayer modes. But the best thing about these optional side missions is that they can all be played cooperatively, whether in local split screen or online with a friend. Playing the missions cooperatively adds layers of depth, strategy, and complexity that give the missions a whole new feel. And to top everything off, there is even a set of missions that can ONLY be played with someone else. These missions are a highlight of Blacklist, and are icing on the cake that is one of the richest cooperative games to release in 2013.Rounding out all this goodness is the multiplayer, which sees the return of the classic Spies vs. Mercs two-on-two multiplayer mode. Making its first appearance since 2005's Chaos Theory, this amazing mode is better than ever, with fantastic level designs and improvements to bring it into the modern era. The perfect way it balances the third-person agility and stealth of the Spies going against the slower, heavily armed, first-person perspective Mercs remains a marvel of competitive gaming, creating some of the most tense, thrilling multiplayer around. Whether you are a Spy that lurks in the shadows seeking the perfect opening to hack the information terminals, or the armed-to-the-teeth Merc who's sole job is to stop the Spy, communication, patience, and precision are essential for teams to succeed, making Spies vs Mercs a top-notch multiplayer mode. Blacklist also brings a new twist to Spies vs. Mercs forumla with a new 4 v 4 mode that allows for players to upgrade their weapons, armor, and gadgets and bring them into battle, as well as create custom loadouts for both the Spies and the Mercs. It's a faster-paced, brighter, and very enjoyable mode that can be quite intense, if not quite as much as the classic 2 v 2. Throw in a couple other standard modes (Deathmatch, Occupy a zone for x seconds, etc) that become fresh again due to your ability to play as either a spy or merc, as well as having mixed teams comprised of both classes. These are fun modes, but it's Spies vs Mercs that will keep you coming back for more and more of this excellent and extremely addictive multiplayer goodness.Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the complete package. There is more than enough high quality content to keep you busy for a very long time. The lengthy single player campaign is better than ever, and begs to be replayed. The co-operative missions will allow you and a friend to feel like master spies and use seemingly endless strategies to accomplish your goals. And the multiplayer is among the best out there. This is arguably the best Splinter Cell title to date, and should be experienced by all gamers who like both stealth and action games. Highly recommended.
