I think it will score below an 8.5, reviewers usually dont like games that stray away from what made the series great. An example would be FF13, Silent Hill Homecoming. I have a feeling conviction will kinda flop

I think it will and I hope this game fails miserably, I hate devs who shun their fanbase.

If MW2 can get a 9 anything can. I'm sure gamespot will love the new direction of this SC game.

I think it will do well. I mean, it was made based on focus group feedback, so it will probably appeal to the masses... namely the people that didn't like the series before. Sure, there will be some overlap with the old fans, but I think the people that will really go for it will be newcomers. I expect an 8-9 on metacritic. That's higher than what I would rate it, but hey... I'm a huge fan of stealth games.

I think it will get a 8.0 but wouldn't be surprised if it got a 7.5 or lower based on all the reactions from thedemo and previews.

Thing is, nobody here represents the majority of consumers. We're all really into this stuff. It wasn't made for us in mind.

It will score minimum of an 8.5, and you can quote me on that.

I didn't say 7.5 was a bad score. I like lots of A games. I just meant that the sight of all the rampaging fanboys wont be pretty.

lol @ everyone who thinks this game will score below an 8...Conviction is way too polished to get that low of a score. There is no way it's getting lower than an 8...it's going to be a great action game. Have you guys seen how good the Coop is?

I bet it gets an 8.0. They can justify almost anything being an 8.0 if the graphics and general production values are good. I don't know if it will truly "deserve" it, but I can see it getting a decent score just based on the name and the production values. I don't like the direction they have taken with it much, based on the demo, but I can still see reviewers taking Ubi's ad money and justifying pretty good scores. ;) (teh conspiracy)

"BREACH WALL"... srsly? The justification for the obnoxious objective displays on the demo was that it was a tutorial level. Is that the case with this footage, or are they really going to do that with everything? Anyway, that aside, the co-op DOES look like a lot of fun. The AI seems completely oblivious, but that could be the difficulty turned down for the demonstration. Still reserving judgment... it's not the Splinter Cell I remember, but it could still be good.

Oh I should mention, as an aside to my comment about reviewers justifying scores... look at Far Cry 2. If that game is an 8.5, a game can be truly, truly distasteful and still score pretty close to AAA marks.

8.0. The fact that it's a big name game will help and hurt it at the same time

Honestly,I wouldn´t be surprised if it did.

After that dreadfull demo,I feel a 7.5/8.0 would be a fitting score,but I´ll wait for the full game and resume my chastising comments later.

i'm guessing it will be 8.0-8.5 solid score. i think many will not like the new direction of splinter cell though. While i am excited over SCC it is a little off putting how it's so action oriented and there are only lethal kills

Its going to be worth an 8.0-8.5. Its going to score a 9.0-9.5 for the hype.

Not true. Look at FF12 and RE4/5.

Depends if a hardcore Splinter Cell fan reviews it and doesn't like the new direction the series has gone it will get panned. But if the reviewer is new to the series or didn't really like the series to begin with it should be 8.5 or higher easily. The demo was great problem is people don't have an imagination and play it properly they just go in run and gun style.

play like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVXabrfeThQ

GS are unpredictable... there is no reason behind them, so it's imposible to guess what score a game will recieve. So, I give the 6.5-9.5 range for Conviction.
