Game again, Sam!

Sam Fisher is back. In Blacklist nasty terrorists are planning again to destroy the good USA - so far, so unoriginal. In about 10 story missions, which are quite complex sometimes, one must shoot or sneak back through various levels - as you require. Occasionally, forcing the game an even to this or that style of play (in Guantanamo level may eg be killed no one and are no alarm), but mostly it is up to the player how he proceeds. In the past, very extensive and challenging Story Mission Sam also has a ton of dodge photocells. Here patience, skill and spatial thinking is in demand.

There are three different ways to make points. "Ghost" focuses on staying invisible, and use gadgets such as sleeping gas or the flying drone, "Panther" means points for the silent killing enemies or their work around, and "Assault" means fittingly the use of noisy assault rifles and fragmentation grenades - everything what kills and makes noise.
At the end of each mission, the player can see how many points he has WHILE accessed from any style of mission. Generally here sneaking more rewarded than the dull shooting, you get more money this way.

The money is needed to improve the equipment, weapons, gadgets and the flying headquarters, the "Paladin". Much like in Mass Effect you can move freely, from the stern until up into the cockpit. Even daughter Sarah you can call every now and then.
Weapon-wise the player has wide range of pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles and shotgun. For each weapon a dozen modifications can be purchased and installed, which enhance precision and stability. Of course, may be mounted on a number of weapons, a silencer. Sams night vision goggles also can be upgraded. Both the night vision of the old Splinter Cell-parts, as well as the new Sonar view of Conviction is available, and can be upgraded several times what you visually see - each upgrade changes the look of the cool glasses. Even the color of the lights may be modified, in addition to the standard green, there are red, purple, pink, gold and light blue.

Online is the Spies vs. Mercs mode is available, but more than that I can not say much. I just got off the campaign more concerned with co-op missions. There are also various ways - who ballert prefer, for there are matching missions, also for Schleich friends. In some of these missions have to fend off waves of enemies that are stronger (through armor and vision), and sniffer dogs are new here - this fast critters can smell us, even if we hide.

Graphically there is again the Unreal Engine hergenommen which still looks top - only the faces of the figures are a bit plastic. Direct X11 is supported, and shines with new graphics options such as "tessellation".
The sound is great, much more there about not to say - except perhaps that Sams has changed US vote. His previous spokesman Michael Ironside was sent into retirement. Therefore ichs on German played, there acts again extremely cool Martin Kessler (Vin Diesel, Nic Cage) as a speaker who sounds very motivated.

ULTIMATUM EDITION: In addition to the game, this edition includes a comic, gold color for visual display unit, and the Echelon suit from Chaos Theory, which is particularly suitable for sneaking. In addition, two extra co-op maps (the billionaire yacht is simply made it cool), highlight for me is the watch - time, date, stopwatch and a light function (3 seconds) for the 3-eyed display. In the style of Sam's glasses. While the clock is not very high, but I'm at a price of 49.99 not expected for this edition. Schick and original it is anyway.

CONCLUSION: Blacklist is a successful Conviction successor. Sneak is rewarded, the missions are varied, motivated the upgrading of weapons and equipment. The Conviction of criticizing "tag and eliminate" Although -Feature is back again, but I have it very rarely used - the silent off the enemies by melee I found a charming and exciting. Anyone who is unsure should stake calmly give them a chance - you get a lot of game for your money, and also a surprising amount of the old "I'm Sitting in the dark, and you never know where I am" - atmosphere.
