Original-Gamer: Splinter Cell Conviction Review

O.G. writes "Even with a short single player mode, Splinter Cell: Conviction has everything going for it. It may not be the game Splinter Cell fans were hoping for, but it is the game that anyone who enjoys stealth games needs to buy."

GamingBuddha095117d ago

im not too big fan of sam fisher but i am glad that they brought back spies vs mercs.

4Sh0w5117d ago

however I've never seen this site before so I hope we'll see some great scores from the big websites too.

NewZealander5117d ago

such a shame about the length, now before i get jumped on i own both consoles but still prefer 360 but have no fanboyism towards either console, but there is no way im going to support a dev that puts out a five hour sub hd game, the graphics are not even that good and the screen tear is horrible.

i had a lot of respect for ubi before this, and i cant understand why reviewers aren't slamming the game for its short comings.

armycore5117d ago

It's right there in the review. Reminds me of how Modern Warfare has such short campaign, but still good, and it's all about multiplayer. It's a change, and of course, some people don't like change.

NewZealander5117d ago

the problem for me is i dont like multi player, there are alot of people like me that would only want to play the campaign.

if i had bought this without knowing how short it was i would be so disappointed, im glad i didn't pre order this one.

Natsu X FairyTail5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

Where the Hate at now?

I'm getting this game early in the morning tommowrow and probably will get my copy signed by the Ubisoft Montreal crew.

MTL 514 WADDUP!

2 Disagrees? lol PS3 fangurls smh.

Blaze9295117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

Amazon order shipped earlier this morning. Can't wait to play it tomorrow!...then beat it by evening ¬_¬...

xTruthx5117d ago

Natsu X FairyTail

Just because some 1 disagrees with you you think their PS3 fanboys ? Plz grow up

Bathyj5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

NewZealander is right. Its way to short, and not everyone cares about online, which is just lazy game design anyway, not having to make set pieces or place AI or anything like that, and Splinter Cell is a single player game foremost.

I'm sure the game is great and I'm still getting it, I see it as having alot of replayability having put maybe 4 hours into the demo already, but the length is bordering on ridiculous.

Especially when the game was delayed so much. Its like a pizza guy turning up, "Sorry I'm an hour late, but at least its cold."

I can tell you this for damn sure, if it was a PS3 it would be an uproar. Tell me I'm wrong. "Where is the power of Bluray now?" they would be saying. I'd be interested to see if that disc is full. If it is, thanks alot DVD, theres no room for levels, if its not, why the hell not, fill it up.

I dont think this game should be condemned for its length, its the quality of the experience not the length, but I dont think it should be getting a complete pass either.

My only hope is, the time reviewers give a game, never seems to be what I finish it in. Maybe they speedrun, maybe I'm just crap, but Heavanly Sword didnt take me 6 hours, GoW didnt take me 8. When you account for loading, movies, dying, retrys, I swear I take double what they say. I'm guessing I'll still get 10 good hours out of the campain and then go onto co-op (offline) which sounds pretty good.

But surely this is it, this has to be as short as a game can get. You people dont realise, we keep accepting everything and next year it will be 4 hour games.

tmj5117d ago

I hate what they did with the stealth. Dumbed it down for everyone else.

Major Kanimo5117d ago

you can be stealthy if you want, or you can go in guns blazing.

there are not as many restrictions as the first few splinter cells if you wana shoot up the room u can now (probs cause u can carry more then 5 bullets lol)

armycore5117d ago

I may have to get the game now. Hopefully I won't have to wait week for gamefly to send me one.

Ugly Bob5117d ago

Screw this, my money is going to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Def Warrant5117d ago

Amen to that. Glad there are still wise gamers left.

Natsu X FairyTail5117d ago

So I'm not wise because I'm getting a game I've been waiting for? what If I get both? does that make me Half wise?

smh

Lionhead5117d ago

Get both then?

Who cares, you sound defensive.

Nishka Fa Fa La Boo5117d ago

he sounds defensive because the two idiots above him went completely off topic. who cares if idiot 1 is getting peace walker? yeah, that didnt come across your mind did it? lol dummy :P :)

Lionhead5117d ago

Report it then like I did

He felt the need to respond anyway, so yeah he is sounding defensive.

A change in the wind5117d ago

"It may not be the game Splinter Cell fans were hoping for"
Yet, it gets a big fat 9. Imagine if God of War 3 wasn`t "the game God of War fans were hoping for," it would be getting 7`s across the board, and the "reviewers" would rip it a new one. Typical, 360 games get a free pass, while PS3 games have to set a new benchmark every single time just for a decent score.

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

Gaming4Life19811826d ago (Edited 1826d ago )

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

Bane351826d ago (Edited 1826d 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

hiawa231826d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351826d ago (Edited 1826d ago )

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

Z5011826d ago

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

Bane351826d ago (Edited 1826d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931826d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011826d ago

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

bluebenjamin1826d ago

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

Gwiz1826d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1826d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1826d ago
Movefasta19931826d 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.

Gaming4Life19811826d 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.

bluebenjamin1826d 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

Movefasta19931826d ago

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

Z5011826d 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.

Gaming4Life19811826d 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.

Hungryalpaca1826d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1826d ago

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

timotim1826d ago (Edited 1826d 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

lxeasy2116d ago

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

ApexWolf222116d 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.

AG1002116d ago

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

Goldby2115d ago

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

yomfweeee2116d ago

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

BQ322116d ago

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

annoyedgamer2116d ago

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

lxeasy2115d 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."

TheRealHeisenberg2255d ago

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

Vectrexer2255d ago

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

C-H-E-F2256d ago

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