Pros

Engaging, welldesigned levels.
New techniques that reinvent combat.
Great visuals and presentation.
Brilliant cooperative modes.
Co-op is a blas.
Is a mixed bag visually.
Executions look really slick.
Superb storytelling gets you into Sam's head.
Soundtrack keeps you immersed.

Cons

Perhaps a bit action-heavy.
Later portions of the game are glorified shootouts.
Short single player campaign.
To much emphasis on action over stealth.
Intrusive uPlay DRM
No voice or text chat in coop play.
Bugs, glitches, and connection issues.
Stealth options are stripped compared to previous games.
Interrogations are a missed opportunity.

Conviction is a Splinter Cell game in name more than anything else. You could easily swap Sam Fisher for Jack Bauer or create an all new character and no one would give it a second thought. The gameplay is fast, and Sam has been transformed into the...

Conviction represents a change to the Splinter Cell franchise and a change that is not completely successful. Aside from being much easier than previous games it also contains more action. So much so that one segment plays out exactly like a third...

Splinter Cell: Conviction is a departure from the normal format for this franchise, focusing on kinetic action rather than the more deliberate, stealth-sensitive progress of the earlier games. From a technological perspective, Splinter Cell:...

Reviewer - John Layland Splinter Cell Conviction has been a long time coming. When it was first announced in 2007 the fact that Sam Fisher was sporting a rather rough looking beard got more attention from the press than the actual games announcement....
