   Review about actually game (not about DRM or anything like that): I was pleasantly surprised at this game. I picked up for $5 at this years Steam holiday sale and played the single player campaign over two days. It probably took me about 8-10 hours. Yeah, it's short, but it's a pretty tight, character-driven narrative. It starts out with the Red Dead Redemption style "government people are screwing you over by forcing you to do stuff for them by withholding info on your family" type scenario, but unlike Red Dead Redemption, they actually keep feeding you enough information to make it not seem like they're stretching the premise. I've also heard that the co-op missions, and some of the other game modes add a bunch more hours of gameplay too, but I haven't tried them. But yeah, if you're just interested in single player campaign and story, this was definitely worth playing. Yes, it was short, but the narrative was tight and fairly emotionally gripping and it never (to me) felt like the premise was being stretched too thin. And, plus, it's fairly easy to get a copy of it for $10-$15, so... :P
   
   Side note: the main theme song is absolutely gorgeous! ^_^… Expand

   I'm all for the Splinter Cell series, but in seeing this new titles gameplay makes me pray that Ubisoft doesn't ruin the great name of Splinter Cell. I respect them for going out on an edge and trying to veer from the repeated stealthy gameplay, but that's what it's all about. They already stepped close enough to the edge on double agent and I'm afraid Conviction will jump off the cliff. The only three good ways in which this can end are as follows. 1. This is the last game of the series. 2. Somehow they manage to make this new outfit work without the stealth and gadgets. 3. Just stick to what they know, get Sam Fisher back into the agency. I already know what my vote will be, no matter the outcome.… Expand

   Good action game, but bad stealth game and very bad Splinter Cell. In most missions, enemies are hidden in cover waiting for you. It's more a third person tactical shooter.… Expand
