    It would be sad to ignore this new Splinter Cell for its small flaws, because the game is unquestionably fun.

    Conviction is just a casual-oriented actioneer with simplistic gameplay mechanic and big-budget production values.
  3. GameSpot
    65
    Bugs, connection issues, and other basic flaws dampen Conviction's great storytelling and violent executions.

    In trading substance for style, Conviction winds up hollow and unsatisfying. Co-op is the only saving grace. [July 2010, p.52]

    Good game, BUT, why game companies continue to jack over the honest paying customers is beyond me! I am absolutely disgusted by the fact that Good game, BUT, why game companies continue to jack over the honest paying customers is beyond me! I am absolutely disgusted by the fact that 'you must' have a constant internet connection to play the game. Furthermore, here is a quote on steam's site " Ubisoft may cancel access to online features upon a 30-day prior notice . . ." BS! $60.00 for this?? unbelievable!

The stealth elements are really fun but every so often the developers forgot they were making a stealth game and it devolves into a dull third rate shooter. The White House level is simply appalling. The stealth element which is what has always set the Splinter Cell series apart is completely abandoned in favor of a huge frontal assault and fending off waves of enemies.
