My Game Review on Splinter Cell  

In this blog i will be giving my opinion/review on the classic franchise  made from Tom Clancy called Splinter Cell. I will be looking at the Positives and the Negatives of the game and then be giving my personal opinion on the series.

Splinter Cell Stealth Action Redefined 

the first instalment of the Splinter Cell series was made back in 2002 on the 17th of November and it was a stealth Single player TPS( Third Person Shooter) The plot follows Sam Fisher as he investigates a terrorist group called "The Shadows" and a related arms-dealing organisation named "The Shop." The positives of this game was it was one of very few TPS's that was all in stealth and it was one of those games that once you start playing it then you struggle a lot to stop. the game graphics for the time was actually quite good with the facial features of Sam Fischer was good and the quality of the guns and enemies was very realistic for at the time that the game was made. also the story was very gripping as you try to find information about the group called "The Shadows" and you get to eliminate the enemies in so many different ways like you could drag them behind the corner that you are on and take the enemy out. Tho are many positives to the game their are also many flaws or negatives with the game. the main problem with this game is that the AI enemies in the game would always start walking into walls so it would never really be a challenge and you could just take them out with ease which to be honest kind of ruins the point of the main idea of Splinter Cell which is "Stealth".

Splinter Cell Double Agent 

The next instalment in the splinter cell series that i played was Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent which is an action-adventure stealth video game, developed and published by Ubisoft. The game follows Third Echelon Splinter Cell Sam Fisher as he assigned to go undercover as a convicted felon in order to infiltrate a domestic terror organisation called John Brown's Army (JBA). the positives and the things that i like about this game is mainly the choices in this game. in double agent the whole point of the game is to do what you want to do. so in the story you work for the national security service but you can also work for the terrorist group called John Browns Army (JBA). so this gives you a bit of creativity to the game instead of just following orders and sticking to one story line you can actually follow more then one path so you are the one who decides what happens in the game and it is just a great feeling when for once you get to decide if your the good guy or the bad guy. the things that i find that are bad is that the bots on the game it was very easy to run away from so if they saw you killing one of the friends you could just ru past them and you could hide behind a wall and they would completely forget you was there and that you have just killed there friend.

Splinter Cell Blacklist 

Blacklist again features Sam Fisher, who is now the spymaster and commander of the newly installed Fourth Echelon and Sam Fisher is leaving Andersen Air Force Base when a terrorist organisation assaults the base, wounding Paladin Nine Security co-worker and best friend Victor Coste. Soon afterwards a faction known as the Engineers takes responsibility, announcing a series of attacks on the United States, the titular Blacklist, which will continue until the U.S. recalls its troops deployed abroad. the aim of the game is to be Sam Fischer and to try and stop the terrorist group "The Engineers and stop the blacklist from coming into place. the positives of this game are that they have sorted out the AI bots so that they actually seem realistic and when you get spotted instead of running away and then they forget who you are they are actually are alert of that you are near and they will all try and shoot you on sight the next time they see you so it actually makes the art of "stealth " are actually relevant in the game. the negatives of this game in my opinion was the story because it was really predictable. the start terrorist group attacks main character Sam Fischer and then the end Sam Fischer finishes the mission and the game ends on a cliff hanger of the two main characters .
