Multiplayer For Splinter Cell Conviction Plus On Nintendos

Ive never played a Splinter Cell game, but this one looks fundamentally better from gameplay videos.

The series is wholly a Ubisoft creation, allowing the publisher free reign over the franchises creative direction to best suit whatever purpose it would like.

While it doesnt outright ignore events of previous entries, the game streamlines as much of its fiction as it possibly can for those who havent ever approached a Sam Fisher joint before.

For instance, special forces unit Third Echelon is no more Sam is now a member of the growing Fourth Echelon unit headquartered inside a stealth airplane called the Paladin.

Characters like Sams daughter Sarah, who has played central roles in earlier games, here only appears in phone calls that you can choose to make or ignore aboard the Paladin, and additional series figures pop up with a really quick explanation as to who they are; onward the plot marches, regardless.

History isnt given much weight here, and it makes for a brisk pace through the story.

Nor is he voiced by Michael Ironside any more, which explains the more sober-sounding performance.

The goal is to make the game more approachable than its hardcore stealth heritage allowed, which Blacklist accomplishes by leaning into the franchises inherent action.

Stealth is still the predominantly encouraged method of approach, but with rare exception any given scenario can be solved with a shootout if Sams presence becomes known.

Ghost bonuses are awarded by leaving as little trail as possible through non-lethal takedowns and otherwise leaving enemies undisturbed, Panther style involves killing quietly from the shadows, and Assault bonuses come from playing it loud.

A tally at the end of each mission shows what style you favoured do well enough in one style and youll achieve Mastery of that stage.

Completionists will go nuts for trying to clear each mission with Mastery in each approach.

When the going gets loud, the quick-reflex mechanics show themselves to be bolted on to the stealth structure, lacking the fluidity that comes with sneaking in the shadows.

Taking the time to mark, follow, and silently execute enemies, hang from rafters for a well-timed takedown, or crawl through vents to circumvent confrontation altogether is a far more graceful and rewarding experience than attempting to gun your way through or out of a scene.

Remember that one mission in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare where you controlled an AC-130, firing at enemy combatants seen through a detached, black-and-white monitor Well, every military shooter since 2008 remembers that scene and has ground it into dust.

This scene, and other Call of Duty moments like it, shamble forth in Blacklist, seemingly just to tick off a box on a list of features.

Remaining hidden as Briggs proves far more difficult as many of the stealth tools that Sam employs are stripped away, with the giant gun on the screen nudging you towards shooting everyone in sight.

This flirtation with what Ubisoft might interpret to be more popular with a wider audience is not only poorly implemented but does a disservice to the games identity: lumping in a game that has great character with a homogenous pool of me-too shootbangs only serves to dilute what makes Splinter Cell enjoyable to begin with.

At least, thats where its desire lies; in actuality, the game is broken up into the main, swift campaign, assorted side missions and online competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes (offline co-op is posted missing).

Aside from the fiction which attempts to be mode-agnostic but has little real effect on how the story plays out what ties the modes together is Sams equipment unlocks and upgrades.

However, this progression becomes moot unless you intend to play through the game multiple times: there is enough money to go around to purchase and upgrade all of the equipment needed for your preferred play style halfway through the campaign.

For some this extra and quick accessibility to gizmos will be a big plus on Nintendos system.

However much the changes clash with the series roots, Blacklist is still a perfectly competent, enjoyable stealth romp whose only crime is inspiring very little awe.

Having it split across two screens would have been really awesome on Wii U, but oh well.
