    Conviction is the best installment in the series. The developers took some major risks in design and presentation that paid off, resulting in a game that's at once approachable and complex, and arguably the current last word in stealth adventure.

    Why Sam has stepped out of the shadows and is on full out attack makes complete sense in context with the story, so if you can accept it for what it is and not dwell on the fact that it isn't what you've come to expect in a Splinter Cell title, you'll no doubt agree that Conviction rivals Chaos Theory as the best title in the franchise's history.

    At its best, Conviction is played as a high-stakes puzzle game, taut and thrilling when everything is going your way. But when cover is broken, the floodlights go up to reveal a mediocre shooter. Perhaps the greatest irony of all is that Splinter Cell: Conviction appears brightest in the dark.

    No one will stop Sam Fisher, nor do you. Slick control is perfect for stealth and combat, strong voice acting gives life to the awesome story and the flashy black and white ( in the shadow) adds cool effect to it. The multiplayer is appealing, i set more with the co-op mode, versus is sometimes frustrating , but it adds tension. Conviction never felt so good… Expand

    This should have been the 1st SC some years ago giving the series - and gamers - an alternative to end up as a nice looking 3rd person shooter or as an exciting stealth game. Introducing shooter elements into such a well developed stealth franchise is like introducing RPG elements into Halo - it doesn´t work. FPS fans will not start to play the older SC episodes due to the lame visuals and the missing FPS elements. Old fans of the series (like me) will not continue to buy any SC franchise in the future. Ubisoft: Leave SC as the monument of the genre and move on. It´s not getting better.… Expand

    I'll start off by telling you how much I've played the game. I've only played the demo three times through and I've read and watch many reviews about the game. So I'm fairly informed about the overall game. This game has gotten so casual that it makes me sick that they would do that to a hardcore game. The length of this game is totally unacceptable at around 8 hours long. I didn't enjoy one part of the demo, graphics are good and well that's about it, stealth gameplay is what this franchise is about and they have abandon it quite alot for a wider audience that likes to run in gun. There still stealth elements in the game, but rarely does it feel like I need to use them to success like in prior Splinter Cells. This game shouldn't even be called a Splinter Cell imo it sucks! avoid spending $60 on this one and rent if you must. Play the demo you'll see what I mean.… Expand
