    A decent, solid, nice stealth game. Although by no means a Chaos Theory, if you stop thinking of it as a Splinter Cell game and just another stealth game, it's fun to play. Sadly, the PC version is an obvious console port, with amazingly clunky controls and lack of refined graphics. Although the gameplay makes up for it somewhat, it does not by any means remedy this problem.

    Conviction isnt a particularly good stealth game cuz mechanics are quite dumbed down, all you have are lethal kills, you cant do non lethal takedowns, you cant move away bodies so they wouldnt get spotted. Shooting controls are pretty unpolished, all the time i was struggling to get a good aim from cover, cuz the reticule shifts away when you wanna get a headshot and makes you miss a lotConviction isnt a particularly good stealth game cuz mechanics are quite dumbed down, all you have are lethal kills, you cant do non lethal takedowns, you cant move away bodies so they wouldnt get spotted. Shooting controls are pretty unpolished, all the time i was struggling to get a good aim from cover, cuz the reticule shifts away when you wanna get a headshot and makes you miss a lot alerting enemies of whom some can survive several shots to the head. Maybe not an issue on game pad with its aim assist, but serious one on mouse + kboard if youre playing without hand holding.

    Its also not a worthwhile action game, if you want to go guns blazing, and anyways there are sections in game where its demanded from you to kill everyone to proceed, it doesnt feel that satisfying, guns have piss poor range, aiming gets inprecise as you fire several rounds, and if you aim down sights frame rate drops making it hard to hit what you want. Movement can be clunky, entering, exiting sprint can cause issues.

    And the story is not that all interesting either, i barely followed whats going on. But atleast overall presentation is pretty good, apart from gimmicky black/white screen effect when you enter darkness, plus game doesnt run all that well on PC.

    Overall its not bad as some make it look, there are quite a few gripes with it but overall its an OK game, its still decent fun when game works more like a standard stealth game with more open levels and required stealth approach.    … Expand

    Overall, and average third person shooter. Visually the game was really innovative and beautiful and also the story did it's part and it was decent enough, although the story is not made for any newcomer to the world of Splinter Cell. It's hard to understand most of the time, if you haven't played through the previous couple games in the series. Also the Game-play it's broken and now asOverall, and average third person shooter.

    Decent action game, very poor Splinter Cell. It has nothing in common with original trilogy which is a shame.

    А это точно Splinter Cell? Игра простая и глупая.

    Game with stalker style and action. Simple and engaging story. I remember that the game was not very well rendered and the FPS was very low.

    Хороший стелс экшен, тут конечно упор на экшен, но играется - отлично. Сюжет - никакой, но и да ладно, мне не мешало. Постановка у игры хорошая, был приятно удивлен.

    Conviction appeals to a whole new crowd that grew up on creating distractions, using every single gadget in their inventory and dragging bodies into shadows. If Conviction is evidence of where Ubisoft is taking the series, they are about to win over a lot of new fans and potentially upset a portion of those already loyal.

    The single-player story is short, but it's filled with a lot of great moments. The co-op multiplayer helps to give the package a lot more bite.

    I have no problem recommending Conviction to anyone who enjoys the Splinter Cell series or third person action/stealth games in general. I would have loved a much longer and more involved campaign, but the additional modes (including a separate co-op campaign) go a long way in making up for that.
