Pros
Pro Suspenseful hunt and chase dynamic between player types in multiplayer mode
The spy character plays exactly like Sam Fisher in the single-player game, so you're a Splinter Cell commando, and you view the action from a third-person, behind-the-back camera perspective. The mercenaries play the game from the traditional first-person perspective, much like in tactical action games like Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six 3.
Pro Engaging gameplay

Cons
Con Short campaign with abrupt ending
The campaign will only last around 10 hours, which is pretty short for a AAA game, on top of this the ending is quite abrupt making for a lack of closure for some.
Con Very basic combat
This is mostly a dialogue game - it's the decisions you make that matter much more than the (limited) combat. Combat controls are shown on screen, and all you need to do is replicate the action shown on the display. There is no free thinking, or strategy whatsoever required.
Con Expensive
While each episode can be replayed multiple times to find different character paths, they are fairly short. Costing around $5 each, the prices quickly add up.
