An 80 average that undersells it — ask the 355 people who rated it. Built around not being seen, from Ubisoft. Ghost it or go loud, but ghosting is the real game. The story is the main course; the multiplayer is the reason it's still installed years later.

About this game

Splinter Cell Blacklist builds on the stealth roots of the franchise, while exploring new directions to embrace the realms of action and adventure. Players can define their personal play styles and be rewarded for those choices. Ghost players want to remain undetected. Assault players rely on instincts and firepower to deal with a situation. Panther players strike lethally from the shadows in the most efficient and silent way.

The United States has a military presence in two-thirds of countries around the world. Some of them have had enough. A group of terrorists calling themselves The Engineers initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist – a deadly countdown of escalating attacks on US interests at home and abroad. Sam is back in his ops 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 US cities as he races against the clock to find out who’s behind this devastating threat.
