Sat Begins With history going after daughter's killer, he Finds Himself Trying to t CommentsDulcie Alcott says... It's finally here, a new Splinter Cell, or is it?This new game has some of the same names and faces, and even design choices of previous games, but seems to not fit the old style as much as it used to, but that's okay in many ways. While this new Splinter Cell is not quite like others, it's still good.As for the game itself, it is amazing, the gameplay is rich and fun, story interesting yet not overdone. Needless to say, while the game by itself is amazing, it doesn't feel exactly like Splinter Cell, but in many ways that's okay, while this game could have been a remake of the Bourne game, it still plays well and is fun, and if you ever like stealth action at all, this is a must pick up for anyone. Posted on January 13, 2011 Alyson Briano says... I really didn't know what to expect when it came to Conviction.After 3 years of delays, I was about ready to put it in the same file as Atlantis, the Loch Ness monster and a PhD in Kentucky; but after finally playing it I was pleasantly surprised.This is a very different Splinter Cell than anything we've seen before.The most noticeable change is that while the stealth is still very much there, the game is now more combat-focused.Fisher is on a mission of revenge for the death of his daughter and he FINALLY puts all of his killer skills to good use.The gameplay mechanics are beautifully done.Every action is smooth and after you've been playing for awhile you really start to feel like Sam Fisher is an extension of you.One thing that definitely takes Conviction to a higher level is the new weapons system.You have numerous weapons to choose from this time: everything from a pistol to a few high-end assault rifles.There are 3 customization options for each weapon and you will use them!You will, or you'll die a lot.What you carry is up to you and a major part of the game is knowing what loadout to carry to cope with your current mission.Even the missions hold a ton of variety.You can go through with an assault rifle and blast your way through, or you can sneak around, finding all sorts of creative ways to make the kill.There is no set path to any mission.The addition of quick hand-to-hand kills and executions will give you all kinds of enjoyment. One of the major selling points to Conviction is the co-op campaign.It's not a watered down "campaign" that only consists of 2-3 very short missions, like you get with most games.The co-op campaign is fully realized and the story directly ties into the single player campaign, acting as a prequel to the single.The same rules apply in co-op.Fully customizable weapons and loadouts, hand-to-hand kills, vicious dual execute scenarios and a very engaging storyline.Just like the single player campaign, there are missions where you want to be as stealthy as possible and there are missions where you are shooting as fast as you possibly can to save your life.Any way you play it, Splinter Cell: Conviction(tm) is a can't miss game.Now I'm just waiting for Splinter Cell 6, and there has to be a #6, trust me. Posted on January 15, 2011 Cristen Gallina says... Splinter Cell Conviction (SC:C) is my first Splinter Cell game, so I came into this not knowing anything about the previous games story, or gameplay mechanics. With that said SC:C does a good job filling you in on what happened in the previous installments so your not lost coming into the game, although I did get the feeling it would have been better to play those other 4 Splinter Cell games. Anyways, SC:C picks up where SC: Double Agent left off, Sam Fisher is "Retired" but he is quickly pulled back into the game again when he finds out that his daughter Sarah is still alive and that he must go after his former agency Third Echelon, to meet her again. Overall I found the story to be fairly good and it kept me interested the whole way through. Gameplay is where SC:C is at, its almost exactly like MGS:4, its done in the 3rd person view and you sneak around taking out enemies without you being noticed, I found though that most of the time this was not a mandatory thing to do and you could just go in guns blazing if you wanted, I found this took all the fun out of the game and much preferred to stay in the shadows and take out my enemies without being noticed. Another thing that deserves a mention is your weapon stash, this is where all the weapons you unlock are stored and when you have access to it (you get access to it at least once every mission) you can upgrade everything you have, even your gadgets! The graphics in SC:C are great, everything is nicely detailed and Sam Fisher looks better then ever, its no Final Fantasy 13 though, in the last portions of the game I had a wee bit of slow down twice, the game was installed onto my 360's hard drive as well. If I had one complaint about SC:C its the length, I started playing it at noon and was done before 6PM the same day, although I have to give credit were its due, the game kept me interested the whole way through and left me wanting more. The Collectors Edition of Splinter Cell was in all honesty nothing special, you got a slip case,art book,decals,steel book, and a USB drive with a bunch of extras on it, only problem though is most of these USB drives have defective memory and are literally good for nothing, you cant access the special content and you cant use it as a flash drive (its only 512MB anyway) I was one of the lucky ones who got a working USB drive and you really are not missing much anyway if you got a defective drive. Posted on January 17, 2011 Chae Shawnee says... Well, let's start by saying this: Anyone who ordered (as I did) the Collectors Edition - You're an idiot. USB card with extras on it was DOA, and this is evidently well-known. I will not be getting a replacement USB drive, though I did get an email later on telling me I could download the DLC to look at it. By then, I was a little sour on the whole thing. The game itself is pretty good. On Realistic, it seems I couldn't hide from Govenor Patterson, but medium or noob are somewhat more forgiving (I did beat it in Realistic, so it's not that bad, really, but you need to plan your approach much more carefully). Co-op was fun, but the (spoiler) achievement only one of you gets at the end seems a tad mean-spirited (half of us get it on the first go, but the better your partner, the less likely you'll mop the floor with him). Still have some more grinding to 1000\1000 the game, but the continuing stream of free swag from Ubisoft (Thursdays, weekly. Mostly weapons so far, but the Proximity mine would have changed how I played sections of the game if it had been in RTM) goes a long way toward soothing my continued annoyance about the shoddy QA that got me a useless Third Echelon USB card. Posted on January 17, 2011 David Temme says... In Conviction, Sam has left Third Echelon following the death his daughter and of his friend Lambert. While he is gone, the new Director, Tom Reed, has completely changed how the agency operates, making connections with less than savory people. Fisher is suddenly brought back into the game by Anna Grimsdotter when a mercenary tries to have him killed, but explains that its part of a conspiracy involving his daughter that goes all the way to the top of Third Echelon. Great storyline, excellent gameplay. The new style and addition of Last Known Position and Mark and Execute make this more fun than ever, and the Realistic difficulty is (with a few execeptions) realistic. Enemies respond to your actions, call for backup, and make smart movements. Multiplayer is good, with an independent storyline. Also, actions and achievements earn you points which allow you to unlock new weapons and gadgets to keep you playing. Posted on January 19, 2011 Deena Janowiak says... Conviction is a great title. The gameplay does a great job of balancing the ability to take things more combat focused. It will still rampant things up more but it won't be instantly game over (minus one area) but the inclusion of mark and execute forces you at times to want to stay stealthy. Mark and Execute is like targeting enemies in Rainbow Six: Vegas but in this case you pull the moves off which makes for a fast paced Jason Bourne still cinematic as you do it. It looks incredibly cool. TO get mark and execute you have to take out enemies secretly. Beyond that, the graphics are good and the soundtrack does a great job of pumping up certain moments. The game though is a bit short but the story is pretty cool and the narrative is well spoken with great voice overs. Now the single player game is short but there is other modes as well and co-op is a great addition that allows you to tackle a whole different story without Sam Fisher. You will both have to work together to sneak around and do the same as you do in the single player game (of course with different objectives). As you progress you will gain, points as you take out enemies in certain ways and by doing other things. This allows you to upgrade many of the available weapons, special gadgets, and even your costumes (used in certain modes). It is a great game. I have had issues with co-op at times but you can end with a good connection. Its that when you disconnect, you lose all your progress from the checkpoint so will have to start over. Fans of Splinter Cell games should enjoy this games and people who don't like Splinter Cell should find this game a welcome change for the series. It does little nice things by displaying the objective within the environment, has a new ability to use a shadow image of yourself that signals where the enemy has last seen you against themselves, and there is a cool little interrogation you can do in the game. I recommend this game. Posted on January 20, 2011 Alethia Lienhard says... I had purchased Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction on launch and enjoyed the game. I had only played through the campaign on normal and beat it the next day. I didn't bother to try out any of the other game modes so I sold it back in April 2010 and forgot about it. After searching through amazon for cheap games I came upon the Collectors Edition of Splinter Cell Conviction. Being that the price was the same as the standard edition, It was an instant purchase. I'm so glad I picked up this game again because playing through it a second time and exploring the other game modes make me wish I never got rid of it! Splinter Cell Conviction is an amazing game. The combination of stealth and action was perfectly blended in the gameplay and made it a blast to play through. Deniable Ops is fun to play repeatedly and with the Insurgency DLC out makes for hours of fun. The collectors edition was a great package overall, the Fifth Freedom art book was a nice touch and was nostalgic for me to look back on the old splinter cell games from the first xbox. I was disappointed in the USB credit card being defective. But however after a brief google search I found the content was on the [...]website. The steel book looks great with the iconic night vision goggles in bullet holes on the cover. I am glad a re purchased Splinter Cell Conviction and am looking at buying more collectors editions for older games here on amazon. Posted on January 20, 2011 Lorrie Guzman says... SC Conviction is a nice game, the graphics are terrific, the playability is different from any predecessor Splinter Cell games. You spend more time on combat than stealth mode, that no was a problem for me because I like the both styles. I didn't play the multiplayer because nobody on my list has the game yet, So I can't talk about it. My sad part, is that I already have the $69.99 price on CE since I put my pre-order on last Black Friday, so the Ubisoft discount was not a big deal for me. My USB unfortunately arrived defective, if you want get that game, just go for the standard version, I think the additional content will be open for everybody at [...]. Standard Version is the best choice! The game still sweet, is very well designed, the Sam is a bad guy and I like it, I hope the multiplayer will be good, if you will buy only for single player, you will fell your money a little bit worthless, because the campaign is very short, so is better you wait price drops. Sorry my English, I Live in Brazil :) Posted on January 20, 2011 Cedrick Setliff says... I absolutely love the game.The single player is addictive and the multiplayer is a great time.Unfortunately the game I received was missing an item that it was supposed to come with ( a comic book) and so I was overall disappointed with the buy. Posted on January 21, 2011 Samual Bocook says... The game itself is good. There are some well-known problems with this edition (although I didn't know them until I encountered and googled them). 1. There is no real COMIC BOOK. You might probably be surprised because it was illustrated right below the other graph book on the case. In fact a lot of people were surprised, so don't feel bad about yourself. If you google it, you will see people telling you the comic book is contained in the USB. 2. The biggest failure is the USB. The number of defective USB contained in this edition is significant. UBISOFT knew it before it was released, and they cut down the price. Although the USB is pretty useless (only 512MB) and all content is available on the official website, it is pretty cute and worth collecting. Unfortunately I got a defective one, and Amazon agreed to send a new product to me. I hope this time it will work. If you do not mind all of these, this edition is great since it's only 29.99 now. Otherwise I would suggest buying the normal one or a used one. ---------------------------------------- Follow-up: The replaced USB was still defective. So I gave up and received some refund.
