This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist [Online Game Code]
Pros: A blast to play, looks great on even a mid-rig pc
Cons: UPlay is a bit of a pain, initial updates suck
Other Thoughts: I got this at a steep discount (~$8) and it is well worth even twice that. I've played every Splinter Cell and this is probably my 3rd favorite behind Double Agent and Chaos Theory. They have a bit of a hybrid stealth system that mixes Conviction's cover-to-cover and previous mechanics, but it works well. Uplay sucks, mostly because of the initial updates like another reviewer mentioned (an egg taken off for that), but it doesn't have much of an effect on the game itself. Also, Michael Ironside is no longer the voice of Sam Fisher, but the newer guy does a fine job as long as you're not bothered by Sam supposedly being older yet sounding a lot younger.

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist [Online Game Code]
Pros: The game is a great advancement in the series. Very fun on "horde" mode and the single player has a lot of replay value. Fun on classic stealth or with mark and execute with guns blazing.
Cons: I wish they wouldn't have taken away the flawless cover feature that was great in Conviction.

Pros: See below
Cons: See below
Other Thoughts: This is a comment about the sorry state of UPlay, not the game. Right after a 16ish GB download there is a 1 GB update, then there is another 1 GB update, then there is a 500 MB update, then there is another 500 MB update. Seriously UPlay??? And why is there no easy way to back up the game files, as there is with Steam? I can see no reason for this incompetence, and I'm really getting sick of it!
