I'm a longtime Splinter Cell fan and have played all the games. From the very good (Chaos Theory) to the somewhat bad (Double Agent). I barely recognize the new game. Gone is the trial-and-error stealth mechanics, the slow speed of a cautious Sam Fisher and the over-abundance of cool tech. Splinter Cell Conviction is a completely different game that, honestly, could be billed as a brand new franchise. All that remains is hot-headed Sam Fisher out for vengeance. Other than that, this is a whole new ballgame.
About this Game
The adventures of Sam Fisher continue in the fifth entry of the stealth-based series. In this game, all of the rules have changed, as the storyline takes a dramatic turn that will reinvent the Splinter Cell franchise forever. Fisher can no longer rely on his trusted bag of tools and iconic goggles.An investigation into his daughter's death unwittingly leads former agent Sam Fisher to discover he’s been betrayed by his prior agency, the Third Echelon. Now a renegade, Fisher finds himself in a race against time to thwart a deadly terrorist plot that threatens millions.
Uniting revolutionary gameplay enhancements with a high-octane, no-holds-barred storyline, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction arms you to the teeth with all the high-tech weaponry and lethal skills of an elite operative and invites you to enter a dangerous world where justice means making your own rules.
