    We can say that Ubisoft did what was expected of an adaptation of Blacklist for Wii U. Without adding new content and unique functions that would elevate the game to a new level, it opted to keep a similar experience in all versions, the difference being that the Wii U adapts some mechanics to the GamePad.

    Consistently competent and without great ambitions beyond the volume of content, Blacklist is not the definitive experience of Splinter Cell, but reunites the series.

    Like the world's darkest buffet, Blacklist offers a lot to choose from, but all of it seems a tad undercooked. This is almost always good, but very rarely great.

    If you feel like you can put up with copious loading screens and cutscene glitches, then I would say this is worth picking up. However, if you’re looking for the tight, polished package that Splinter Cell games used to be, then you’ll likely be left wanting.

    Ubisoft takes bold steps with tradition in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist in an attempt to please as many as possible, but by doing so dilutes the game's stealthy strength in favour of chasing new audiences.

I have been playing it for several hours and I'm safe to say it's fantastic. Graphics and frame rate is great and off screen play is awesome. I've played all the splinter cells and this is one of the best. Don't understand why reviewers can't be arsed to review it on Wii u or if they have their reviews aren't on here but it's safe to say it's a great game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ciertamente no comprendo esa intencionalidad absurda de los gamers actuales de perseguir el fracaso de una consola. Wii U se ha rebalsado de críticas y malos comentarios de personas que ni siquiera la han probado. Es cierto que el catálogo de cada consola no necesariamente debe ser del gusto de todos, pero me parece de idiotas el querer que “otra opción” desaparezca. La única consecuencia que traería esto, es que se genere un monopolio de los video juegos, precios mucho más elevados y reducción en la variedad de los mismos. Por favor, antes de criticar por criticar deberían conocer a fondo las cosas, y si no les gusta, bueno, simplemente elijan otro producto. A mí, Wii U me entretiene más que cualquier otra plataforma, pero no por eso he dejado de pasarlo bien con un juego en PC o en PS3 o XBOX.

    Ahora, centrándome netamente en lo que es Splinter Cell Blacklist para Wii U, debo recomendarlo 100% a todo quien le guste este estilo, una mezcla de shooter estrategia demasiada bien lograda. Llevo días jugándolo, y la verdad es que cada vez la historia te engancha más. Los diferentes estilos de juego y también los variados niveles de dificultad, hacen que se ajuste excelentemente a tus capacidades y que la repetitividad propia de cada juego se vea disminuida de manera considerable. El modo online, las misiones alternativas, la integración vía Smartphone y por sobre todo la utilización del Gamepad especial de la consola Wii U, lo transforman de por si en una obra maestra. El menú a mano, el uso como cámara espía, el control de robots o el ataque aéreo que te permite la utilización de un mando de este estilo, te sumergen como en ninguna otra plataforma a una historia de la vida real. He probado en su totalidad los juegos de la Saga Splinter Cell, y debo admitir que esta entrega ha sido por lejos la mejor, y en gran medida por las características que solo Nintendo y Wii U proporcionan.
    Creo que si se incluyera el modo cooperativo local y se implementaran los controles nunchuck y “wii remote plus” como arma con mira, el juego sería extraordinario, lo mejor del año.
