FINALLY! The real Sam Fisher is back!

As Sam Fisher game pioneers, I have a broad field comparison of all previous Splinter Cell parts. I have played and loved them all, but did after the spectacular 3rd part (chaos theory) downhill steady series must observe. Double Agent was poorly ported from the console, it lacked even a few missions to the console version and thus proved partly the story to be incomplete. In Conviction Sam mutated to temporary Rambo and the spirit of the Splinter Cell series was finally dying. The absolute death knell I thought the series this offshoot will be when I saw the first gameplay video where Sam ballerte only as by opponents masses! Good Bye Mr. Fisher !! BUT ......

Firstly, it is different, .....! The Games of the magazine Games Star Rating (Rating: Very good) Readme but then realize that Ubisoft has once again turned the corner. Current rating certified but a very high level of '' Creep share '' and multiple storylines in each level! So I risked a purchase here on Amazon and since I am a fan of Sam Fisher simply I immediately hit in the ultimatum to Edition !! And I did not regret it!

GRAPHICS: Yeah, it's not a Crysis 3, and the proven Unreal Engine is more than just getting old! But anyway, the game looks stunning! Lighting effects, level of detail around, level of detail of the opponent, Sam's movements are smoother and more beautiful than ever. His equipment he wears in a realistic way the body is? What Sam does not, you can not see! Just great! Minor detail. Observed Sam times when he squats over. Then he holds (in which he holds his gun) to support this with the left hand the wrist of the right hand. But completely irrelevant as it does any trained soldier also. Small insignificant detail that shows how professional here is worked at Ubisoft. Of these there are many details. Toll!

SOUND: top class! Starting with the professional speakers on the firearms sounds to the situational music. All Top!

STORY: Well, as always in the Splinter Cell games. This is about the terrorist group with the blacklist threatens! This includes a series of deadly terrorist attacks around the world! Central base this time the paladin. A converted military freighter, serves as headquarters for Sam and his team of Fourth Echelon, as they call themselves. His team again this time include Serienveteranin Grim, the CIA Agent Isaac Briggs (supports you during missions), weapons specialist and computer nerd Charlie, and a couple of NBC's naturally make sure that the Paladin running. So you not jump fad from level to level but is planning on the Paladin's next steps, moves freely back on the plane between the stations and forth, leading Smalltalk, calls Sam's daughter and can with through missions earned money, these stations Upgrade. So you then improved his suit and the weapons to the missions more effectively and to be better. This goes so far that one even the night vision device Stepwise thermal and Sonarsicht-, and so, can extend. And can also change the color of the lamps. Very successful.

GAMEPLAY: Here we were now. Rambo was yesterday, or not? The great thing about blacklist is that you can really choose between GHOST, PANTHER and ASSAULT! Say completely invisible, dead from behind cover or Rambo! And you can choose. However, one should Ghost or Panther prefer because Sam dies as fast as his opponents, 3 shots and good night! Opponents hold (are on headshots) just a lot. Medipacks's not, one is wounded it is quickly take cover and wait. The controller itself is Third Person well known, only Sam has never been so terrific looked like and never moved so elegant. Weapons and Itemwechsel is quick via the TAB key via quick selection with circle menu where everything is selected with the mouse. You can take the B button in this menu then also adjust the melee style between fatal and non-fatal. What made me even more disturbed was that you can aim at more immediate coverage and could move towards there quickly by automatically spacebar. Unfounded. Enemies look really good! If one, in such a way normal squat you will sure 9 out of 10 times caught. In addition, it does not bother, and looks cool. The level of difficulty is quite high known as Splinter Cell! Even the stage '' normal '' brought me quite a number of virtual death. Even the levels. There is a solo campaign and beyond numerous side missions that you can select on the world map in the Paladin or that are given by Grim, Isaac or Charlie in order. These missions are shorter than the main quests and quite different. Should we at Grim Ghost as often unseen and out including data collection, it secures for Charlie in embassies as Rambo a package to you (after 5 or after volunteer more waves of enemies) is brought out. The longer you hold out, the more money jumps out, the better and faster upgrades to equipment and the aircraft, .... you can imagine. But just as successful as you usually can deny also Koop with a friend the missions online. Some even have to. But those are only many, nice additional missions that can be incidentally do but have to do is not directly related to the campaign. But money also here does not smell and helps with the upgrades. Otherwise, the game is a dyed in the wool Splinter Cell, so sneak, hide bodies, imposition lamps, ....! Back to the roots! And I love it !!!

ULTIMATUM EDITION: Consists of a 24seitigem Splinter Cell comic, the Game, 2 extra maps (1 Koop, 1 single player), equipment for Sam - the Upper Echelon suit (very good since high stealth), the gold-colored night vision device, and the Ghost boots. There are also a wristwatch in black with the 3 legendary lights of Sam's night vision device. Sounds cheap, but it is not and looks really chic. Everyone needs to know whether he needs the things themselves. What you certainly need to play is the famous Ubisoft Uplay Online platform! I support these platforms as I have nothing to hide and think it's great that I no DVD in the drive must have and stay with me my Scores if my HD strike times. But that's my personal opinion.

CONCLUSION: Splinter Cell is back Splinter Cell. If big and powerful, enabling easy scope, several solutions to the missions, some great new features and exciting story. I myself have the series totgeglaubt and now lies before me in a nice box a true Amazon- 5Sterner! Thumbs up UbiSoft. Compulsory purchase !!
