This review is a look at the recent Splinter Cell: Conviction title. I talk about the minor gripes I had with the game, along with what make it such a good game and why it's a must-play.
GamingShogun.com has posted their review of Ubisoft's latest Splinter Cell title, Splinter Cell: Conviction. They give the game high-marks for the its new enhancements to stealth gameplay such as 'mark & execute', 'last known position', and the enhanced cover and movement system. Conviction puts players in the shoes of ex-operative Sam Fisher as he attempts to track down his daughter's killer(s).
"This isn’t the Sam Fisher of years gone by. His hair is gray, his features are wrinkled- he looks grizzled, tired, and even downright old. If we didn’t know for a fact what his history held, Sam would come off as no more imposing a figure than the local delicatessen owner. But, within minutes of putting the disc in your tray, you’ll realize that muscle memory counts for a lot, and skills are ingrained for life."
The latest Splinter Cell game takes some of the best elements from past games and molds them to make a more accessible and exciting game. Its action packed moments should bring in new fans while bringing fans back into the intriguing story of Sam Fisher.
Sam Fisher has returned. He's out to take down the organization that has given him work for the last several years. To say that he's gone postal would be an understatement.
"Tom Clancy’s novels for the most part have always managed to make for some great games and the Splinter Cell series is no exception. Finally, after much waiting, the latest installment to the Splinter Cell saga has arrived to the Xbox 360, exclusively. Will this highly anticipated title manage to sneak into our hearts or will it come out guns blazing and blow us away? We’re about to find out."
After a long wait, Ubisoft have finally delivered us with a new Splinter Cell game, Splinter Cell Conviction. Was the wait to play as Sam Fisher again worth it or is this game a bullet best dodged? Read on to find out.
SOme people whenthey get a new game expect much of the same as the iteration befpore, but many also forget that times change and so do how developers move forward with their methods and the ability to modernise games.
Some like it, some hate it,but if we are to move forward in gaming, we have to understand that both times and things in life change accordingly.
OXCGN's reviewer seems to be caught in the former, wanting the new Sam Fisher to be like the Sam Fisher of old - come check out ...
"This is supposed to be Splinter Cell, yet it just doesn’t feel like it. This game really is the Super Mario Bros. 2 of this generation, because even though we have a solid title here that is kind of similar to the brand it’s named after, it’s just not right. Just like Mario looking slightly off in SMB2, Sam looks different. Fans who have been following the journey of Sam Fisher since 2002 on the original Xbox may want to erase any memory of that series. Conviction is a good game, but it’s not..."
"It doesn’t need to be said anymore than it already has; for better or worse, Splinter Cell: Conviction survived the development process and is now available for the Xbox 360. The wear and tear of the enduring development cycle is clearly evident on the final product as Conviction is an oddity that shines at the appropriate moments, but presents itself as an entirely different beast than the past entries."
