Splinter Cell Blacklist Review

I promised a review of this game! Do not fret if things are late... I really love my games as I'm sure all of you do as well. Anyways... Splinter Cell is easily one of the best TPS (Third Person Shooters) to enter the market in recent memory. It's face paced action, smart combat, and insurmountable challenge make you feel like a special ops operator.

Pros:

• Engrossing and fun combat, going full ghost on any single stage can be a challenge to the average gamer.
• Integration of all its elements are well put together, topped off with the paladin flying HQ
• The story is really well done, Tom Clancy rarely disappoints with these stories though.
• There is no "correct" way to play you determine how you wanna do every scenario, giving you free reign to silently slice throats or blow your enemies into dust.
• Plenty of re-playability, perfectionist mode will make you want to cry.
• Enemies actually feel intelligent, this is most apparent when you set off an alarm.
• Supports a 2 person co-op something sorely lacking from a lot of games.

Cons:

• For the PS3 the graphics did leave something to be desired especially regarding the textures on Sam's Echelon suits
• At times the game can be really challenging almost deterring you from continuing
• Combat can feel repetitive if played for too long, this is because if you want all your achievements you'll be forced to play a specific way for the duration of that level.
• Enemies can get tiring, there really isn't a lot of variety with enemies. But, its a shooter so this is only a small con. 

All in all the game is an absolute must have IMO. This game really caters to the really hardcore though, I give it an 8.8/10 It lost points in graphics and a few small problems I found while playing the game.

PS: This review only covers the single player/co-op campaign.I have yet to play Mercs VS Spies. (this mode review will be carried out on a much later date)
