Gamepro I Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

Gamepro: "While it might not be the back-to-basics game fans were expecting, Conviction is an outstanding title from top to bottom. On sheer value alone the game warrants a look, with an action-packed and satisfying single-player campaign, lengthy co-op mode, and entertaining online components. 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."

From the reviews I've seen it seems like a very solid title. I should have it in a day or two.

knight6265875d ago

I started playing this game on monday and so far i like it but i dont think it deserves a 5 or even a 10...i have to say between 3.5-4.0 or 8.5-9 no higher. i kind of find the gameplay repetative when killing people. is usually a shoot in the head or if u get close enough for hand to hand combat is usually a puch to the throat, elbow to the face, or shoot to the leg then hit to the throat.

THE MAX SPEED 215875d ago

everybody is entitled to an opinion @ Knight so I respect yours. to me the game deserves a solid 9/10.

raztad5875d ago

Gamepro gives 5/5 like candies. The review summary:

PROS: A satisfying conclusion to Sam Fisher's saga; improves upon the franchise's shooting mechanics in almost every tangible way; co-op and multiplayer modes feel like "classic" Splinter Cell.

CONS: Enemy A.I. runs on pre-determined paths unless interrupted; NPC chatter can get repetitive; single-player may be too much of a departure from the series for some fans.

With all that cons you may think game is a 4/5.

so another review saying its an action game then...why has one of the best respected stealth games turned action?moneys my guess...well done.if you believe 5/5 as a score for this game then your a mug...NO game is perfect so no game should ever get the 5/5 or 100%,cant see the single player game really deserves that score to me.but hey,ms fanboys seem to like average action games that they over hype/over scored...hope you all enjoy the 5-6 hour killfest that is no longer splinter cell...sad really.

"

I agreed with you 100% that no single players game deserved a 5/5 or 100% like Heavy Rain and GOW3. But if you know and read up on these reviews you know SPlinter Cell has more than a single player campaign, like several modes of co op and online play. So you FAILED.

chickenlegs95875d ago (Edited 5875d ago )

thats right it does... but as not everyones online,and splinter cells previous mp aspects were utter sh*te.and coop special ops?sound like they boltted that on after they see what the other company's were doing.so i dont really see what point your making?taken nearly 5 years to make,its a laughable attempt really,except for taking stuff out and HAVING to kill people,this is just another action game,and a short one at that...so i fail because i like stealth games?and not in your face action games?ok then.enjoy it.but this shouldn't even be called a stealth game...oh and little has an 'L' in it.

labwarrior5875d ago

Can't wait for all those 10/10 for Alan Wake and Fable 3 too

peeps5875d ago

this is the only 10/10 review so far... http://www.metacritic.com/g...

not that it matters though

peeps5875d ago

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane352584d ago (Edited 2584d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa232584d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352584d ago (Edited 2584d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5012584d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane352584d ago (Edited 2584d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932584d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012584d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin2584d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz2584d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2584d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2584d ago
Movefasta19932584d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19812584d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin2584d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19932584d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5012584d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19812584d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca2584d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2584d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim2584d ago (Edited 2584d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2874d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222874d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002874d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2873d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2874d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322874d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2874d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2874d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

TheRealHeisenberg3014d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer3014d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F3014d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"

*Fixed*
