Ubisoft was kind enough to invite Game Tactics reviewer David Klein to their Montreal studios yesterday to check out the multiplayer mode of their upcoming AAA title Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Anyone whos played just about any Splinter Cell besides Conviction will instantly recognize the Spies vs Mercs mode and in fact the disappointment by Splinter Cell fans by its exclusion from Conviction was one the driving factors to bring it to Blacklist. There are three separate variations of the same basic concept, but suggesting they are at all the same would be far over simplifying things. Its three different modes are Blacklist Spies vs Mercs, Spies vs Mercs Classic and the newly announced mode Extraction which Gametactics is one of the first to take a look.

VideoGamer: "It's not the Splinter Cell of Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow, but it's not the all out shoot-fest of Conviction either. So what is it?"

EG:Blacklist is most entertaining at night or indoors, where you can extinguish light sources and feel more like a predator, but there are also quite a few daytime missions. By day, especially out in the open, you're far more reliant on cover, while enemies roam more boldly and see further, and consequently you feel more like the hunted than the hunter. You can tag enemies to keep track of them and use the mark-and-execute instakill button - returning from 2010's Conviction - once you've charged it up, but any bodies will be easily seen by remaining guards. The odds are always against you when the lights are on, and harder to turn in your favour.

IGN:Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a sweet middle ground between the Panther-like action of Conviction and the Ghost-like stealth of Chaos Theory. The delightful improbable success of this compromise is a testament to game design that always has choice in mind. Its well worth replaying the campaign with an alternate playstyle, a different set of preferred gadgets, and/or on Perfectionist mode. And, like the series Chaos Theory series peak it cant help but be compared to, Blacklists also packing a pair of multiplayer modes that could stand proudly on their own. Splinter Cell is back on the right shadowy track.
