Gamereactor (Sweden): Splinter Cell:Conviction Review

Gamereactor writes "Splinter Cell: Conviction is not quite what I had expected that the game series would have evolved into.Some learning may be difficult to reconcile themselves with the more action-emphasized approach and deliver the document may not be quite as I had hoped for. But it does not matter when Sam Fisher's new way is so cool and interesting.Whether you prefer hard-boiled action with unconscious anger, or feeling full cowering among the shadows of the hard guarded military bases, this is for you."

Is this score high enough fanboys?

lokiroo4205155d ago (Edited 5155d ago )

Only fanboys speak of other fanboys.

TheColbertinator5155d ago

Fanboys don't exist on N4G fortunately.

Not getting Splinter Cell Conviction yet but I will definitely get it if Spies v Mercs is released.

Fanb0y5155d ago (Edited 5155d ago )

No fanboys. Only extremists.

I'm really getting mixed observations on this game. IGN said 5 hours. People with the game on forums (including Neogaf) are saying about 8 hours. No reports on the length of the co-op campaign.

God... I'm so torn between whether I should rent or buy.

eggbert5155d ago

Just rent it, and if it is really good, then buy it afterwards?

XxRoosterxX5155d ago

only fanboys speak of other fanboys who call other people fanboys!!!!

HolyOrangeCows5155d ago (Edited 5155d ago )

Only fanboys speak of other fanboys who call other people fanboys who sp....wait, doesn't that in turn make me one?! Oh no.....I...I gotta go shower.
But seriously, it usually takes a fanboy to have the first instinct to mention fanboys.

The AI, lack of content, and lack of polish in some areas are going to shy me away from getting it full priced, but I might give it a go when I can get it cheap. Used...Ubisoft isn't getting MY money.

MagicAccent5154d ago

I trust GameReactor with reviewing like I'd trust monkey with a 2 million dollar banana(no offence to any monkeys reading this).

Just saying..

lol all SCC bad reviews need google translate.

Biggest5155d ago

It's pretty weird that the native English speaking reviewers are giving it the high scores and the other reviewers are giving it good scores. There aren't any other products or services viewed that way in relation to gaming.

baum5155d ago

I'm guessing they were only able to make duffel bags in english which offended non-english speaking reviewers and forced them to be honest (as if that wasn't their job to begin with).

clarkjudo5155d ago

I am not sure why this got only 8/10. Yet, the truth is in small print. Look at the bottom of the "review".

Mikael Sundberg (Translated)
"Sam Fisher is angry. Sacred pissed. Life is shattered and he is betrayed by all accurate. This leads to a rock hard action adventure where Sam breaks leg, breaking necks and shooting silent well-placed shots to both the right and left. The story feels closer than ever, gaming control has been refined to an absurd and the graphics are gorgeous. Splinter Cell: Conviction is exactly the relaunch of the series so badly needed. 9 / 10"

Obama5155d ago

It's probably second opinion. But ouch..I actually expect the review scores to be a bit higher.

ikral5154d ago

I just started Chaos Theory, and after I finish Double Agent (which I dont have yet) there is a good chance there will bee Conviction available for my PS3. You see, there is no need to rush. There are other things to do besides gaming, like living.

Watch Ninja Gaiden II, Fable 2, Fable 3, and Splinter Cell Games Enhanced for Xbox One X in Action

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351863d ago (Edited 1863d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231863d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351863d ago (Edited 1863d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011863d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351863d ago (Edited 1863d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931863d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011863d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin1863d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1863d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1863d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1863d ago
Movefasta19931863d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811863d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1863d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19931863d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011863d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811863d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1863d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1863d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim1863d ago (Edited 1863d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2153d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222153d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002153d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2152d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2153d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322153d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2153d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2153d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

TheRealHeisenberg2293d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer2292d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F2293d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"

*Fixed*
