Stealth games have been around for many years. Does Splinter Cell: Blacklist sneak the series back to top form, or is it the end of the line? Sneaky sneaky?

The scene is set and Blacklist is going for broke - this is gaming action attempting blockbuster movie merit, but with that comes a rote storyline and all the quips and quibbles that such big-budget flicks also tend to carry.

Long-time fans may weep (although they shouldn't, as Johnston delivers with ample success), and yet newcomers won't know any different - for Blacklist is Splinter Cell in its new form a stealth-meets-action mishmash for a new generation of players. Guns! Explosions! Terrorism! America! It's like a cutaway from the middle-series of US hit TV show 24 - ie, at the point when it's not on top form and, perhaps more to the point, just downright predictable - in that moment where everything goes wrong but it's sorta-kinda okaybecause Jack Bauer's there to save the day.Д«lacklist has enlisted Eric Johnston to play on-screen hero Sam Fisher - like Bauer in a tight bodysuit, really - ditching Michael Ironside from the premier role. Instead it sets Fourth Echelon, a top-secret special ops team, into motion to keep the threat at bay.

But this is the US of A - land of the free - and it doesn't negotiate with terrorists. But far from the promise of a stealth title, Blacklist intros with the rip-roar of guns blazing in a US Army base shakedown at the hands of a terrorist group known as The Engineers. (Pocket-lint) - From the moment the disc was sucked into our PS3 console, Splinter Cell: Blacklist did its damnedest to keep us enshrouded in the on-screen action.
