I played the original game on my friends console years ago when it came out. It was pretty good. I got 2 copies of Chaos Theory in a video card box a couple years ago. It was a great game for Coop/LAN. Other than that I haven't played any of the others. I know Conviction is the newest but I have heard it's quite short and the combat is poor compared to the others. I looked at a video review and it looks okay, not as stealthy though. Worth getting? I want it for the Coop as well.

Conviction is too easy and doesn't feel much like a Splinter Cell game. Chaos Theory is the best.

well I already beat Chaos Theory SP and COOP with friends. Going back doesn't really interest me. Any of the others worth it? I want a game sort of like Splinter Cell put I can't think of anything similar right now.

Pandora Tomorrow is my second choice. I can't think of any other games like Splinter Cell, but the Metal Gear Solid has some similarities.

Conviction is great, the game is best played with a co-op buddy. The game includes a 5 hour co-op campaign.

yeah done all the Metal Gears up to and including Snake Eater. I wouldn't buy a console just for the latest one, even though it's one of my favourite games.

Yep, it's still a good game. Not sure how the PC version is though, I own the 360 version (It was super cheap, 12 bucks :D )

Yeah, Conviction is okay. If it's cheapish, I'd say it's worth it.

Though I'd personally prefer if they went back to a more Chaos Theory/original Splinter Cell feel for the next game (if there is one).

Conviction is a Splinter Cell game in name only. Just a heads up.

Thats strange. I have splinter cell (the first one) and it runs just fine.

Chaos Theory definitely but Double Agent is also pretty good, haven't played Conviction yet but from what I hear it's very different.

When compared to it's predecessors, Conviction is a terrible Splinter Cell game. As a standalone, it's very, very average. This game was barely able to hold my attention, but I forced myself to finish it, because well, I already paid for it.

The gameplay is way too simplistic for an action-stealth game. Missions felt really repetitive. Sneak, slip into cover, execute, rinse-repeat until you get to the "end-guy" you're looking for. Interrogate him. Next mission. It's like Assassin's Creed 1 disguised as a Splinter Cell game, with just the SC-name.

Feel free to disagree with me, but all the neat ideas and concepts they INITIALLY had for Conviction would have made it a much better game. BUT, Ubisoft scrapped all the "deep" and meaningful blue-print, scrapped it, and made a really dumbed-down Splinter Cell game. Majorly disappointed on so many levels.

Conviction was rather a disappointment for me. The co-op is great, tho.

I do not recommend Conviction. Just another boring 3rd person shooter.

conviction turned out a lot better then i expected and i would go so far as to say it was considerably better than double agent (the less said about the pc version of that the better).

but it's not a great game and is definitely not in the same league as the first three games (and the ps2/xbox double agent). id buy it only if youre a big fan of the series or have no other games to play

Conviction is good I definitely enjoyed it. But definitely not a true Splinter Cell game. The best is probably Chaos Theory or Pandora Tomorrow.
