Britxbox: Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

Conviction is by no means a disappointment and it's certainly commendable that Ubisoft have purposefully set out to redefine the series. However, even the longevity and value added by Deniable Ops doesn't make up for a relatively short and somewhat mixed single player. Yet with an inevitable sequel possibly already in the works, hopefully Ubisoft Montreal will build upon and nurture the more successful and innovative aspects of Conviction for the next installment.

I think what there doing is using Conviction as a test, to see if the new direction goes well. So far its had pretty good reviews for the most part, high 8's and low 9's. So they will probably use Conviction as the base for the next game, and just approve on it based on feedback.

thereapersson5148d ago

If they were going this route all along, why push it back, only to release what is effectively the same product?

I remember seeing the first previews of Conviction in an old issue of Game Informer, and thinking "wow, now THAT is next-generation". I wish I could figure out where it all went downhill...

You have to play it to understand...7/10 is far to low..lol..He definitely played on easy, you can't run n gun in this game...PERIOD...LMAO...when you do the controls and aiming are difficult, sound familiar...The AI doesn't stop moving, always swaying, bending and walking around...that's why he had problems with the headshots..LOL..on realistic setting, you will die alot...the second half of this game is amazing and you actually get to go up against other splinter cells with the same gadgets as you ( sonar goggles )....The mark n execute is critical on harder game setting as is last known position and staying in the shadows...I'm starting to think these reviewers don't even play the games through, just watch a walkthrough....Music, story and game play are great and blend perfectly....Airfield has some of the best music, play over and over...This game is STEALTH/ACTION...maybe he missed that...LOL..

Is it perfect...no...no game is...some problems...too much black and white in the post game solo modes...spend all your time in the shadows...Iraq level had a good concept, explaining Sams relationship with his best friend Victor Coste, BUT worst level in terms of game play and graphics....

Luckily, it ends there...one of the best games this gen...Love the story and the ending with Victor Coste worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster...

BTW...game IS 8+ hrs on realistic setting...add 45 achievements, 30+ P.E.C challenges ( complete challenge, get points, buy upgrades ) co-op campaign/split screen and multi-player on line...You have a incredible package...Play the games, know the truth...

conviction isn't a bad game by any means. despite the change in gameplay, stealth is still a huge part in the game because even on easy, If you try to run and gun, you will die. the story is excellent although I'm surprised about a change in a certin character's personality(won't reveal due to spoiler reasons). In my opinion, this game is a 9.

MAG_SVER5148d ago

Like I said in other threads

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

& guess what it's at 56 reviews now & has a rating of 85 . Mark My Words no higher than 83 once all reviews are in.

Also it barely got HALF A MILLION sales & by XBOT logics it's a FLOP!!!

THE TRUTH HURTS

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.

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d 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

hiawa231865d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

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

Z5011865d ago

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

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931865d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011865d ago

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

bluebenjamin1865d ago

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

Gwiz1865d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1865d ago
Movefasta19931865d 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.

Gaming4Life19811865d 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.

bluebenjamin1865d 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

Movefasta19931865d ago

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

Z5011865d 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.

Gaming4Life19811865d 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.

Hungryalpaca1865d ago

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

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1865d ago

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

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

lxeasy2155d ago

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

ApexWolf222155d 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.

AG1002155d ago

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

Goldby2154d ago

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

yomfweeee2155d ago

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

BQ322155d ago

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

annoyedgamer2155d ago

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

lxeasy2155d 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."

C-H-E-F2295d ago
