Splinter Cell is by far the worse turn of a franchise I can think of. The first three were something that hasn't really been tried to much in videogames. Stealth instead of shooting your way through an event. It was a refreshing experience that won countless awards for being great. Chaos Theory, the pinnacle of the series, is regarded as one of the best games ever made. In comes double agent and manages to fuck everything ,that its predecessors had created, up. Conviction is about sam being a hobo, without gadgets and without stealth. Why even call it splinter cell ubi? As a long time splinter cell fan, you lost me ubisoft.

I've yet to really play any SC games. But I've recently bought PT, CT and DA. Once I get the first I will play through all four.

Do yourself a favor and sell da for the original.

Well I just bought the first on eBay. $15 shipped. Working through BiA 1 and 2 first.
