Hitman 2: Silent Assassin vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the sequel game and once more you become the mysterious Agent 47, this time you are dragged back in after leaving the life of an assassin and your past is coming back to haunt you.Once more your disguises and choice of method have an impact on the success and overall gameplay. You enter an area and can attack or get to your target in any way you wish, there is no one set path for you to follow and it makes for a really nice game. The quieter you do your assassination the better the rewards and higher ranks you can achieve. Add in the plotline and a huge range of options and suddenly you have a very full game with a lot of fun to be found.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
