IGN UK | Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

IGN UK: The main thing, though, is the remarkable and bold focus - none of Assassin's Creed 2's endless tutorial or ridiculous minigames, or indeed of Arkham Asylum's irritatingly blocked routes and hollow collectormania. This reborn Splinter Cell just gets on with it: it has the courage to pick one thing, the fantasy of being a hi-tech manhunter, and do it as well as possible.

I predict for this game a 91 or 92 on metacritic.

-MD-5891d ago

Yeah 91 sounds about right.

Inside_out5891d ago

Only a couple hrs in so far...incredible with some big plot twists already...According to some reviews, I must be near the end...LMAO...Seriously, they're tying the story and game play together beautifully...Playing on realistic, have died plenty of times...Funny, expose yourself and the fun really kicks in....

Checking out the achievement list tells me you may be here the rest of the year getting/doing all the things on there...Numerous upgrades and game play types that are being ignored by biased reviewers...sad really...Read a review earlier today, guy gave it a 8/10...decent score but this game deserves more...don't know what the guy was talking about...great deal and incredible replay value....

Only problem I see is all gamers should get a crack a playing this, including the Wii gamers...maybe they might...Hope to finish the single player by tomorrow....cheers...

Comet5891d ago

87-90 sounds right...
It'll probably be an 88.

ShinRyuHadoken5890d ago

Whatever score it will get AAA or 10, for me 5hour games are good for rentals.

Ummm did he just say PSN? --->
"Lasting Appeal
You'll want to tackle the campaign at least twice, and if there's any justice in the world, the gloriously fatted multiplayer will be a Live and PSN mainstay for many moons."

WildArmed5891d ago

lol obviously he was smoking something when he was writing the article.

The co-op for SC:C looks amazing. I'm not that excited about the competitive though. I never was one to get competitive modes much.

Meryl5891d ago

did this person just give away that it's going multi lol, I expect this game on PS3 in a couple of months time lol

ASSASSYN 36o5891d ago

You guys always find smoke when there is no fire.

AssassinHD5891d ago

Anytime you see smoke, you can be sure that there is some type of combustion or pyrolysis somewhere.

Sam Fischer's head is abnormally huge compared to the rest of his body (shoulders, arms) in that photo?

XDF5891d ago

It will end up around 89 - 92 on Metacritic when it is all said and done.

Just pick up this game at the midnight launch along with the original SC, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory used at gamestop. Will try to play them all over the course of the week.

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.

Bane352600d ago (Edited 2600d 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

hiawa232600d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352600d ago (Edited 2600d ago )

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

Z5012600d ago

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

Bane352600d ago (Edited 2600d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932600d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012600d ago

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

bluebenjamin2600d ago

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

Gwiz2600d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2600d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2600d ago
Movefasta19932600d 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.

Gaming4Life19812600d 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.

bluebenjamin2600d 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

Movefasta19932600d ago

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

Z5012600d 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.

Gaming4Life19812600d 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.

Hungryalpaca2600d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2599d ago

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

timotim2600d ago (Edited 2600d 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

lxeasy2890d ago

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

ApexWolf222890d 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.

AG1002890d ago

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

Goldby2889d ago

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

yomfweeee2890d ago

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

BQ322889d ago

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

annoyedgamer2889d ago

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

lxeasy2889d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg3029d ago

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

Vectrexer3029d ago

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

C-H-E-F3030d ago

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