Sam Fisher returns, and this time he will be more rough and tumble than last time, in its relentless pursuit of justice.
Undoubtedly, the Splinter Cell saga stands as a leader in the genre action - stealth, and Conviction is one of the best in the series, below are the reasons why this game deserves to be acclaimed:
Presentation of the game (8/10): The argument is fairly complete, although there are unexplained details, but one can enjoy the game and while understanding the basics of his story, which is as or more complete than the previous games. The game features some flashbacks that explain past events or memories of the protagonist, which are a great resource of very useful both for developers and for the player.
Gameplay (7/10): The gameplay is very good, except for some details of management of certain weapons, since it is clear that there are weapons for stealth missions do not work. Anyway, the gameplay is acceptable and better on PC because the game requires good aim, as well as knowing specify certain movements of stealth. At first it costs a bit, but then the player adapts quickly to a very comfortable playability.
Graphics (8/10): You can say that the graphics are very good, as they have improved significantly over the previous games. The engine used is the Lead Engine (a variety of Unreal Engine 2.5) that shows a great performance as both the AI animations, which can be seen especially in close contact with enemies and interrogation.
Sound (7/10): The sound effects immerse us in the game even more, since they vary according to the situation of the game (depending on whether there stealth or combat), and when we discover the enemy, you will hear an alert sound. The soundtrack is great, especially the song from the main menu.
Innovation (9/10): This game innovates in several ways, besides marking implement and execute mode (useful when facing multiple enemies at once) the player s Splinter Cell meet a fairly new and improved game maintains the classic essence of the genre, but also improves many aspects, being able to carry out violent interrogations, the fact of using an enemy as a shield, to perform various melee attacks, there is much that is worth noting that make the game an excellent thing.
Personally, Splinter Cell Conviction was the first in his series that I played and I enjoyed it a lot, I did not need to understand the previous play and maximum enjoyment. Not a perfect game, but it is certainly a great experience. Then there's the multiplayer mode, which is very well armed, although only two teams to choose, I wish there were more selectable costumes. the atmosphere is very different, the places that develops action are clearly differentiated.
In conclusion, this game is a very complete work, and has my admiration, and it deserves more acclaim than it had, hopefully the next installment (Blacklist) is even better than this.
The other games in the genre will have to strive hard to achieve the quality of SC Conviction. No doubt, I recommend it, and after a time without playing, I again feel like re playing, especially the multiplayer.
