To say that 'Conviction' pushes the boundaries of what Splinter Cell is, would be an understatement. As it really doesn't conform to the Splinter Cell principles, less even than Double Agent, I think that this rebellion was important. The story is very...
Smooth play interface, good storyline, good action as Sam now fairs well in combat, well polished and finished, fresh new look and feel.
Can feel quite linear and empty at points, cannot lock pick or hack anymore, Sam no longer uses the trademark knife, maybe too much emphasis on gun fighting and not enough on stealth...

A faster and more agile stealth action game. Mark and Execute can be very satisfying or just a useful tactical tool. Some great voice acting, even from none-important characters. Offers a good challenge. A lot of fun tactical options. Some cool environments that are different for the series. Co-op is great. Sandbox level design allows re-playability.
Not traditional Splinter Cell gameplay, which some may not be happy about. Short single-player campaign. Some character models do not look good. Interrogations aren't as cool as they could have been. Experienced a few "out of sync" crashes in co-op.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction will probably be the most divisive game in the franchise's history. While Ubisoft claimed it halted production on a previous version of the game to bring Sam back to basics, the "new" version of Conviction is still quite a departure for the series. The Splinter Cell fundamentals remain but the idiosyncrasies of the franchise (hacking and unlocking mini-games, moving downed enemies, and night-vision goggles) have all been thrown away. This might sound lik...

Sam Fisher is out for blood. In Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, this normally cool cat has honed some extra-sharp edges, but that's what happens when you mess with a man's brood. At one point in the game, a voice-over tells us that the boorish...
Executions are a total rush, Superb storytelling gets you into Sam's head, Great soundtrack keeps you immersed, Cooperative play is a blast.
Brief campaign doesn't offer much challenge, Interrogations are a missed opportunity, Stealth options are stripped down compared to previous games.
