I have been a Splinter Cell fan for a while now. Ever since the very first game, I loved creeping around to the next corner and taking down a terrorist in the most quite fashion possible. Sam Fisher is the deadliest single person to grace our illustrious imaginations since Nosferatu. Now with an all new sequel that is sure to knock our portal replica geek sock off!
Ubisoft is taking the mark and execute mechanic from
Conviction to a whole new level. Not only can you mark and execute targets like
before but now Ubisoft has introduced a new mechanic which they are
calling “killing in motion”. Killing in motion means exactly how it sounds. Once
you mark targets you can move at full speed and start executing them whenever
you feel good and ready to do so.
This new Splinter Cell game puts more of a twist on stealth then
what we are used to form other Splinter Cell games in the past. It’s a lot more
aggressive, in your face, and fast paced this time around. From the looks of it,
Ubisoft is not going to give you the time you will want to plan out every
little detail of your plan and then carry it out. Although stealth is still the
core gameplay feature of this Splinter Cell game it looks as if there will be plenty
more action and awesome kills this time around then before.
From the cinematic trailer that was also shown, crap tons of
other story info was given as well. Sam is now in charge of the 4E (4th
Echelon). After the 3E went completely rouge on trying to take Sam out in the
first place the president decided to disband the 3E on the spot. Grimm will
also be making a return as the handy dandy eye in the sky. And what is this Blacklist you ask!? Well as
it turns out the Blacklist is a list of names that the terrorists are using to
blackmail the U.S government into pulling out of the Middle East. Their demands
stand as either the U.S pulls out or they will bring the war to the home front.
So naturally, it is Sam’s mission to rescue all of the names (or, most of them
at least) on the Blacklist before they fall into terrorist hands.
I cannot wait to see more of this game later at E3. Let me
know what you guys think in the comments below!

Aggressive in your face fast paced stealth? Im a ps3 owner so i missed conviction but id heard terrible things from almost all my 360 owning buddies. It took a one of a kind unique game stule and turned it into a mindless action shooter is the most common complaint ive heard. Then i read your review to hear about the next one us ps3 owners get.
Im failing misserably to find a positive way to describe how i feel about a (STEALTH) series thats well established and popular suddenly becoming aggressive and fast paced. Stealth is not fast paced in your face action. Chaos theory was the most perfect representation of stealth so far and it did amazing with the fans. I only had to use my guns if i screwed up BAD....now its just an option and the game auto kills for me with this mark and execute option.....easy mode on much? Why not just make a movie if there going to do the hard part of the game for us?
Either way i suppose i could skip using it however if the series has switched from stealth heavy (the core purpose of the series) than it doesnt really count as a splinter cell anymore...just a ghost recon spy version. Im scared honestly. Id hate to see one of my favorite series die and be replaced by a 3rd person shooter
