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 Stealth is not forced
Players can choose how they play as stealth is not a prerequisite, players can run and gun if they feel like or even go around setting traps.
Pro Movement is precise and empowering
Movement is very fluid in the game and works very well, which is needed for a platformer. It is fun jumping around and there are no consequences when falling too far, so it allows for plenty of experimenting on where one can travel in a level.
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 Extremely short
The man story can be beaten in under 3 hours, which makes for a pretty short game.
