Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Sam Fisher is back, but he's not playing the good guy any more. Gaming's most dangerous super spy has quit working for the Third Echelon, disgusted by his old department's corruption and distraught over the loss of his daughter. When he discovers her death was no accident he begins to track down those responsible…
Ubisoft's huge development studio in Canada has created many of the French publisher's biggest hits, including the Splinter Cell series, the modern Prince of Persia games, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Assassin's Creed, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja and the Far Cry sequels and spin-offs.
 Sam Fisher isn't working for the government this time |
 You're not playing by the rules anymore as you search for your daughter's killers |
 The new "mark and execute" feature brings instant death |
 Why climb through a window when you can pull an enemy through it? |
Now that he's on his own and out for revenge there's less emphasis on stealth and more on all out action and unrestricted body counts. Environments are more interactive too, with almost any object ready to be used as a weapon. Plus you can climb onto and around almost every piece of architecture to set-up your ambushes.
Not only are the graphics better than ever but they're cleverer too - displaying mission objectives on the side of walls and using new visual aids to help keep you one step ahead of the terrorists.
Key Features- New man: Sam Fisher returns at last, with the biggest overhaul in Splinter Cell's history and a new, more brutal style of action.
- Target acquired: New "mark and execute" feature lets you lock-on to an enemy and fire at them automatically, no matter what else you're doing.
- Visual clues: In-game aids bleed the colour from the screen when you're hidden in shadows or let you know where enemies think you are with a special silhouette.
- Low tech: Sam's working on his own now, so instead of a high tech optical cable to sneak looks beneath doors he has to make do with a car mirror instead.
- In the sandbox: Larger, more interactive levels let you make the choice between a full frontal assault or a more stealthy surprise attack.

Fun:
The latest Splinter Cell game has been a long time coming, and the result is a game quite different to its predecessors. The focus is more on action and firefights this time round rather than sneaking and stealth. It mostly works but it falls short of being a classic Splinter Cell game.
The storyline of the single player game is compelling enough as Sam Fisher becomes involved in a conspiracy which has its roots way back in Double Agent (the last game in the series). Although it doesn't always make sense, it moves along at a brisk pace and you'll fly through the single player campaign quickly.
The gameplay is faster and more action-orientated than the careful approach more often called for in earlier games. Sam can mark and execute multiple enemies, which is a cool gimmick, even if it does take some of the skill out of the player's hands. A number of familiar gadgets are also available, although much of the time your pistol is enough.
It's good fun, but it feels a little too streamlined with a very rigid path down which you must progress. There is no room for choosing your own way, you go where the game tells you. This often involves fighting your way through roomfuls of not particularly bright bad guys, where previously Sam may have slinked past in a handy air conditioning vent. It seems a shame you can't decide whether to fight or sneak.
The co-op campaign's gameplay is very similar, but with a few moments that can only be passed by two players. A decent effort has been made to integrate a connected plot to the co-op game, which has its own central characters. It works quite well, although it's hard in places and you can tire of doing the same section over and over again until you finally crack it perfectly and reach a checkpoint.
Competitive multiplayer has largely been dropped from Conviction, instead there are extra co-op game modes. You can play against one other player in Face Off but once played a couple of times it wears a bit thin.
The game is well presented with mostly decent graphics, good music and some slick effects, such as Sam's next objective being projected onto a nearby wall as part of the environment. You are also equipped with `sonar goggles' which enable you to pick out enemies on the other side of walls and so on but sadly there is no night vision or thermal modes, which can be a pain in some sections and seems a strange oversight.
The controls also often conspire against you, as the A button is used for context-sensitive actions and can get confused when you're in a hurry. The control scheme cannot be reconfigured, so you are stuck with the default, which is not the most intuitive.
Conviction is a decent enough game, but it's a departure from previous Splinter Cells. It's more immediate and more cinematic, but because of this it forces your actions more and is perhaps less of a challenge for it. The controls are a pain and the whole thing is rather short-lived. It's a worthy purchase, but unless you get a lot of play out of the co-op features, I'm not sure it will spend that much time on your 360.

Fun:
I am a huge fan of the splinter cell series, in fact it was the game which introduced me to the world of gaming, however, i am a little disapointed with this latest edition. Conviction for me other than having the same characters is nothing like the originals. Double agent went a little off but this for me whilst a good game that i enjoyed is just simply not splinter cell.
I cant help but feel that this is a totally new game just sold under an existing successful series. i get what they are trying to do and understand if you just keep putting out the same stuff that people will get bored but dont loose what the game is all about in the process.
Overall i like the game and im sure you will enjoy it too its just not classic splinter cell for me.

Fun:
New to xbox live.
This is one marvellous game!
Having finished the (hugely enjoyable) single player campaign today I decided to try out some of the other parts of the game ....and tonight I hit on the online co-op option.
I have just spent the last hour or so teamed with some guy from Spain.....and have had one of the most exciting online gaming experiences of my life!!!
I have tried other shooting games online ( gears of war, modern warfare and more ) - but this is the only game that I have tried so far that allowed me, as a rookie, to feel some sense of competence.
I recommend this to all you newbie onliners - this is a great, and enormously satisfying, way to get to grips with online shooting games - i can't wait to get back into it!!!! - tomorrow.

A very good game of special forces!
There are few games like this. The story of this game is very good, but i think it is a little monotonous, because it is to vulgar, it begins very bad and it ends well. Read more
