PROS
Three ways to play, Extensive degree of customisation, Strong, topical story
CONS
Shiting from one cover to the next occasionally finicky,Grating soundtrack
VERDICT
Sam Fisher and the Splinter Cell series may have changed considerably over the years, but don't let this deter you, as Splinter Cell: Blacklist is still a fine, engaging game that you shouldn't allow to hide from your serious consideration.
