    Splinter Cell: Conviction Review 0

    By - Craig H.Almost 4 years have passed since we last saw Sam Fischer in action. The last entry, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, was met with solid reviews but did little to expand on the series. Splinter Cell: Conviction changes the formula completely and gives Sam Fischer more power than ever before.The game begins after the events ofSplinter Cell: Double Agentand does a good job catching you up to the events that have happened since we last saw Sam. Sam’s boss, Irving Lambert, was killed by Sam ...

    Welcomed Freshness 0

    I'll start with my expectations. Aside from hand held or mobile versions, I have beaten every Splinter Cell game. I beat them all on Xbox/360 except this last one. I'm a big fan of the series. I love Splinter Cell. I beat two other games in different genres so far in 2011. They were a little disappointing. I decided my next game to start and beat would be Splinter Cell: Conviction. I chose it because I wanted something I wouldn't be disappointed with. I was right in my choosing. The first hou...

    Sam Fisher, As Played By Jack Bauer 0

    I hate Splinter Cell. I've practically always done so. When Splinter Cell Conviction was announced I took the same reserved opinion that I had with the rest of the games. I thought to myself, "as luscious and promising the engine and presentation would seem, the game itself would always fall flat to poor design choices". And like Peter Molyneux would over-hype his own creations, Ubisoft would fail to impress me with the usual problems their games would have: unimpressive pre-set animations, term...

    Holds Fun, in Upmost Conviction 0

    If you've played previous games in the Splinter Cell series and go into Conviction expecting something similar, you're in for a surprise. Taking people out non-lethally is no longer an option. Interrogating people is no longer an option. Your objective is painted out on the wall, so forgetting what your objective is and checking your spy gadget menu is no longer an option. Third Echelon, a branch of the NSA, is no longer your employer, and is quite blatantly the enemy. Somehow this feels much m...

    Great Game, Bad Splinter Cell 0

    Waring: this review is written by true Splinter Cell fan and is not for the faint of heart.  When hidden, the screen goes to grayscale So after four years, we finally get our new Splinter Cell game. But how is it, is it worth the wait? The short answer is no. Splinter Cell Conviction is a great action game, but as a Splinter Cell game it suffers greatly. While the game has great set pieces, a tight story which sees main character Sam Fisher come out of hiding to find out who kill...

    Jason Bourne meets Jack Bauer 0

    If you're a fan of Splinter Cell Video Games of old this new iteration may seem a bit different and if you prefer the methodical stealth in previous entries, Conviction may be a bit jarring at first. But rest assured it's all for the best.  First things first, Sam is no longer with Third Echelon. He's on his own and out for revenge. Fisher gets his intelligence and tech from an old friend of his from the Gulf War. Without spoiling anything, Sam will travel all over America and across the sea. Fr...

    A Sith Reviews: Splinter Cell:Conviction 0

    Splinter Cell: Conviction, was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and released on the 13 of April 2010 for the Xbox 360. Splinter Cell: Conviction is the sixth game in the Splinter cell game series, based off the books by Tom Clancy. Featuring a mix between stealth and action, this is a reworking of the series that maintains the story from previous Splinter Cell titles. Stealth has always been indispensable in the Splinter Cell series; Conviction's changes to the visibility meter alter game play ...

    This game is great 0

    I am a long standing Splinter Cell fan.  I love the idea of being a "bad ass" that has tons of gadgets to play with.  Sam Fisher always has an arsenal of fun gadgets and weapons that help you quietly go around killing people.  Conviction is similar to this style but with a small twist.  In past Splinter Cell games you had to worry about hiding bodies and staying quiet.  Conviction takes this to a different game play type and allows you to kill almost anyone and not worry about who finds out.  Al...

    Splinter Cell Veteran 0

    I consider myself a Splinter Cell veteran. This game is simply amazing. I love the interrogation because it adds to the suspense As for the markers used to assassinate your opponent they are sweet but it seems too easy/ I can understand to have it on the lower difficulty levels but not realistic because realistic makes things more challenging. And the sonar goggles are a little overboard making it so that even the most rookie of players able to take down a room full of armored enemies with a...

    Splint Cell: Conviciton Review- Warpzone Gaming 0

    Splinter Cell: Conviction isn’t your normal Splinter Cell game. Sure, it still stars Sam Fisher. The spy organization Third Echelon is still here. And you can still jump out of the shadows to snap a neck or two. But for one thing that’s the same there are two things that they’ve changed. Movement and interactions with the environment are much smoother and streamlined. You’re fighting against Third Echelon, instead of working for it. But mostly, there is much less of an emphasis on using stealth....

    Splinter Cell: The Uncharted edition 0

    Splinter Cell Conviction continues the Tom Clancy series pushing the stealth action into a new direction.  Its a risky move but its the right direction.  Unfortunately it doesn't follow this direction all the time and you can tell the developers are trying to keep up with other action games when it starts to throw the player in more action sequences than stealth sequences. Like other games in the series, the game follows Sam Fisher who gets back into working ex-echelon people who need help disar...

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss 0

    What follows is a review of the single-player campaign only.   Despite its critical and commercial success, I never got around to playing a lot of Splinter Cell. Sure, I dabbled in a little of the original title on a buddy's PS2  many moons ago but quickly found that game to be unforgiving and too reliant on trial-and-error. In other words, it wasn't very fun.  Fast forward to 2010 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. The pre-release buzz seemed to indicate that Ubi...

    Full of Win and Epic 0

    I'm about half-way through the single player and so far it's been a very awesome, well paced ride. If you're into the whole action-espionage-thriller genre (think of the Bourne movies or the upcoming Alpha Protocol), then this game is for you. The whole time that you're playing as Sam Fisher, you feel like a bad-ass hunter. Main Conviction gameplay is spread throughout the game in chunks, separated by unique levels.  The reason that I'm only half-way through the game is because the other time I ...

    Extended development time!? Oh, go on then. 0

      Ubisoft had a difficult decision in how to approach the latest Splinter Cell game. In fact, after the critically disappointing Double Agent , the follow-up was officially announced in May 2007- set for release later that same year. However, the project was then “put on hold” by Ubisoft who decided to re-think their approach. The game re-surfaced at last year's E3, with an all-new visual style, with Sam Fisher having shaved his dishevelled beard for a cleaner, more casual look. ...

    This is CTU; Get me Sam Fisher! 1

    Sam Fisher’s been around the block a time or two, or so I’ve been told. I can’t really speak for all of that experience he’s put under his belt, because aside from a small portion of the original Splinter Cell and even less of 2006’s Double Agent, we haven’t spent a lot of time together. Suffice to say that I’m not particularly practiced with Fisher’s brand of tactics. With respect to this latest entry in the long-running stealth franchise, that’s not much of a factor, as the tried-and-tired for...

    Disappointing Single Player saved by Deniable Ops 0

    Tweet: Deniable Ops and CO-OP shine whereas Single Player is a huge disappointment!!! Recommendation: BUY @ $30 (discounted) Pros: . Deniable Ops makes up for Single Player . CO-OP a good addition . Still in some ways a unique experience . Michael Ironside voicing Sam Cons: . Destroyed unique gameplay that is key to the series . Missions that force you to run and gun . Cheap gimmicks that ruin the game such as Mark & Execute . Weak story with poor mission design . Iraq mission?! OMG . Sales ...

    Cool 0

    I enjoyed playing this, as I did with the ones before. I did miss his sense of humor, as well as the cool hang from the pipe and break peoples necks moves. I also thought it would've been longer. I still think it was worth the $60 I paid for it. I hope they do not have this as his last game either....

    Good enough. 0

    I've never played a Splinter Cell game before and I usually avoid stealth games as thats not my style.  However, this game I gave a chance as I heard many good things about it and it seemed the only bad stuff was from die hard nerds who didn't like this little detail or blah blah.  I liked the first 1/3 part of the game where I think stealth was the main focus of the game.  It was a simple game of hide n' gun.  Then they started adding gadgets which were alright but I didn't want to spend half t...

    Feel like a badass and look like one while doing it. 0

      One of like 3 Splinter Cell games I've actually played to completion and imo, the best of the bunch.+'sThe game empowers you and gives you a great feeling of being in control even in the most dangerous of situations The closest thing I can compare this to is the last Batman game. You really feel like you're hunting the enemies rather than hiding from them and waiting. In previous Splinter Cell games, it was a game of patience as much as anything else since you'd have to find a dark spot an...

    Splinter Cell: Conviction Review 0

    When I first played through the main story a few months ago, the brevity of the game left me with a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth. But having not played the co-op campaign until recently, I couldn’t help feel like I hadn’t give the package as a whole a fair shake. Hence this late review. The fifth Splinter Cell game in the series follows super-spy Sam Fisher as he breaks away from his longtime employers, the shadowy Third Echelon, in a bid to find answers about the events surrounding hi...
