Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is the fifth installment in the wildly popular Splinter Cell series. A stealth-action combat game centered around the continuing adventures of black ops agent Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell: Conviction continues where the storyline of the earlier Splinter Cell: Double Agent left off. Packed with a mix of an engaging story, classic Splinter Cell stealth action, unique co-op gameplay and new gameplay mechanisms that are applicable to both single player and multiplayer modes, it is a worthy addition Splinter Cell catalog of games.

Story
A few years have passed since the cliff hanger conclusion of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, in which Agent Sam Fisher undertook a particularly dirty mission, full of questionable actions, in the shadow of the inexplicable and unmourned death of his daughter. Fisher is now a renegade operative digging into the events of the past and he doesn't like what he has found. His personal investigation into his daughter's death reveals that he's been betrayed by his former agency, the Third Echelon. The agency responds by pursuing him, but as he works to elude them he becomes aware of a deadly terrorist plot that threatens millions. He is uniquely positioned and prepared to act against this, but success is doubtful without the help of former friends from the Third Echelon team, resulting in a series of life and death situations for himself and the country where trust can by no means be assumed.

Gameplay
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, as with all games in the Splinter Cell series, is a tactical stealth-action game. In single player modes players take on the role of Sam Fisher and engage in a series of missions utilizing high-tech weaponry, gadgets, lethal hand-to-hand combat and interrogation skills. Overall objectives and the necessary steps to achieve them are challenging, yet always clear via dual verbal and visual expression that seamlessly alerts players as they progress through missions. In addition, Conviction enhances the world of stealth combat that has made the Splinter Cell franchise a runaway hit for years through a series of revolutionary new gameplay features. These include:

  • Mark and Execute - A gameplay mechanism for eliminating several enemies at once, Mark and Execute allows players to "Mark" multiple enemies, or points in the surrounding environment for termination in batches. Once this is done, a close-combat kill is required, after which the player can activate the "Execute" portion of the mechanism to dispose of all enemies in a cinematic manner. A limited amount of Mark functionality is attached to players' weapons, so this ability must be used wisely.
  • Last Known Position - Last Known Position is a visual representation of where the game's AI assumes you are, based on where you were last sighted. This provides players with a wide array of options, including setting traps for enemies, flanking maneuvers or simply disappearing while you are thought to be elsewhere.
  • Experience System - Successful completion of objectives via the Persistent Elite Creation System earns players rewards in the form of experience points. These can be used to upgrade weapons and gadgets that will allow for cleaner, quieter and more deadly attacks.
Co-op Story Mode
Prologue, the co-op story mode included in Splinter Cell: Conviction is available either in split-screen local play or via Xbox LIVE. Prologue offers an exclusive prequel campaign to that found in single player mode and features new characters and settings, three difficulty settings, three sub game modes and four maps. Designed to stand apart from, as well as supplement the single player campaign, gameplay mechanics available within it include shareable Mark and Execute target points and Last Known Position, as well as teammate revival functionality via a portable defibrillator, the ability to work with a teammate to eliminate enemies who have captured you, and more.

Key Game Features

  • A New Level of Splinter Cell Action - A full arsenal of cutting-edge innovations allow you to outflank foes with the Last Known Position system, tag and eliminate enemies using the Mark and Execute feature, and much more.
  • Blockbuster Experience - A unique storytelling style keeps you on the edge of your seat as you navigate the explosive world of a renegade agent where trust is impossible and justice requires you to go above the law.
  • Jaw Dropping Visuals - A revolutionary new graphic direction delivers an utterly seamless gameplay experience that’ll keep you totally engrossed in the story of Sam Fisher.
  • Explosive Xbox LIVE Play - Addictive multiplayer modes, content downloads, messaging and voice support and more amp up the dramatic intensity like never before.
  • An Exclusive Co-op Story Mode - "Prologue" is an exclusive story mode featuring new characters, settings, four exclusive maps and more. It is only available within Conviction's Co-op mode.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome game   April 14, 2010
Omar Nazif (laguna beach, ca)
36 out of 47 found this review helpful

Great game, been playing the story since I got it. Half-way through. Some observations:

- Great sound, really moody, adds to the atmosphere, reacts to being detected, good for a cue. Great sound acting.

- Story is well written, engaging, Sam Fisher is the supreme badass.

- Very good graphics, despite the aging and ubiquitous Unreal engine. Very good level design. Lots of places to flank, cover, hide, and come up from behind.

- Lots of screen tearing, not too bothersome. Noticeable, though.

- Control system is awesome, you can pretty much take cover anywhere, even when not up against anything. Moving from cover spot to cover spot is slick, with arrows that point in the direction you're pointing and slick animations when you move. Controls rival/exceed my personal favorite, the Rainbow Six Vegas series.

- Shooting is crisp. Headshots kill, enemies sometimes require multiple shots in vitals (neck, torso) to die.

- Grenades and toys are fun and have good placement when thrown. Good explosions and sonic reverberation, especially with 5.1 surround.

- Good platforming. Sam moves smoothly, not like an idiot.


The new game mechanics are sweet and I'm hoping to see them in future games. I think they're all good. That would include:

- the projection of current goals (with cool lighting/shadow effects)

- the projection of backstory effects during cut-scenes (which are not really so cut, they flow with the gameplay well)

- last known position (i think i've seen this in a couple games, not sure) great for creating a diversion, then flanking.

- tag and kill executions. There is a strange bug where if a guy is tagged, he can be shot, even through solid objects.

Overall, the game is really fun and a step forward in the right direction. The flexibility of choosing your path to kill made me want to replay a couple levels multiple times to see how cleanly I could clear each room. It's possible to run and gun, but there's a good sense of satisfaction to a well-executed kill. Playing on normal mode right now and looking forward to playing on realistic mode. Guessing the story mode is somewhere between 5-7 hours. Supposedly the infiltration and deniable ops mode add quite a bit of gameplay to the package.



5 out of 5 stars Not your grandpa's Splinter Cell.   April 19, 2010

This Splinter Cell is a lot more action based than previous Splinter Cell games, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun!

Story: 5/5 The story feels, to me, a lot more like a Tom Clancy movie than some of the other games in the series have. Splinter Cell 1, and 3 were the best games in the series (story wise), with this coming in at 3rd best in my opinion. The co-op story is also a nice addition to the game.

Graphics: 5/5 Just what you'd come to expect from a Splinter Cell game. I actually like that it goes black and white while you are hidden from the enemies, but this eliminates the need for night vision, which might put fans of the series off a bit.

Gameplay: 4/5 This is where the game hugely differs from previous games. The gameplay is a lot more action based, with the ability to "mark and excecute" enemies. This only happens once you've done a close up kill. So you can't just run in and mark and excecute everyone. You have to earn it. Other mechanics that have been changed are how you interact with everything. There are little texts by each object you can interact with, which probably is to make it easier for people new to the series to know what they can and cannot interact with. Veterans know that pipes can be climbed, walls can be ran up, ect. Some people may hate the changes. Others, mainly new to the series, may welcome it.

Game modes: 5/5 While the single player is fun, the co-op is where you are going to spend most of your time. There are many different co-op modes including a story, a "horde" type mode where you have to defend an object for wave after wave. As well as a hunter mode where you go though a level, eliminating enemies, and cannot be seen at all.

Overall I would recommend this game to any Splinter Cell fan, or action game fan.




5 out of 5 stars Almost like playing Jack Bauer in 24   April 20, 2010

4 out of 6 found this review helpful

This game makes me feel that I am in 24 and I am playing a role like Jack Bauer. The graphics, gameplay, and sounds are great. The controls are very easy to learn with its "on the job training." I did not get dizzy or feel confused at all while playing. Your mission is usually displayed in the scene in big letters so you dont have to keep hitting a map button or objective screen.

If you like action, mystery, suspense, and drama you will not be disappointed.



5 out of 5 stars Best Splinter Cell Yet!   April 14, 2010
Daniel T. Noe
I've been a fan of Splinter Cell since the first one was released. I am very impressed with Conviction. The storyline is amazing, the graphics are awesome, and the action is jawdropping. My favorite feature of Conviction are the interrogation scenes. You have full control of Sam Fisher while he interrogates the villains. I highly recommend Conviction for any gamer who enjoys action and drama.


5 out of 5 stars Good change to the series.   April 16, 2010

Awesome new direction for Splinter Cell. Good story driven game. It has more gun play than previous titles yet it still holds true to the stealth genre. Perfect blend of action and stealth.
