Crysis 2 vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 lets you put on the incredibly high-tech nanosuit once again and reprise your role as the defender of humanity against the alien threat that is growing by the day. Use the suit's upgraded abilities, ranging from invisibility to bonus armor and to power boost, as well as an arsenal of weapons to tackle various aliens in the urban landscape of New York City. The gameplay is also pretty similar to Counter Strike or Call of Duty so don't go in expecting cover-based shooting like Ghost Recon's games.Similar to the first Crysis game, Crysis 2 no longer has servers to support its multiplayer function. Regardless, the game is still a gem and if you love Crysis, you'll want to get this game as well.
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.
