Fisher is back and he is great .. seriously
The gameplay has been refreshed from the past games with new features like tagging enemies which I used frequently. Make no mistake; it is still a very good sneak game with better controls. Other notable gameplay features include moving from one hiding position to another by just pressing the SPACE BAR. The tagging system activates when you press C close to an enemy then you can tag up to 4 enemies and execute them neatly. There are so many guns in this game which are all upgradable to add better range or add an additional execution tag. Although it felt a little a repetitive with the tagging system, it was executed well in my opinion. The famous goggle returns with one switch that does everything which is very neat. Apart from the gameplay changes, the environments are varied and very well executed with missions clearly written on walls of buildings, on the ground and sometimes other obscure things in the surroundings.
Apart from the single player, multiplayer is good in that you can decide to play the game co-op with a friend which adds extremely good value to this package also with customizable gears to boot. I did not have any connection issues at all which is a plus.
Graphically, conviction is a very good looking game with high resolution textures and fluid character animation. Everything turns black and white when you are perfectly hidden from your enemies. Sound is spectacular with 5.1 surround sound and everything works the way it supposed to. This is the best Sam Fisher game ever made although the single player is short.
