The game works well for those who love hardcore-action but for old school Sam Fisher fans maybe not so much.
It's a change from previous successors of Chaos Theory and Double Agent where you can mark enemies in a room and eliminate them all with one button, on the other hand you can not carry bodies and hide them.
Fundamental changes were made to the choice of weaponary, allowing upgrades to accuracy, power along with options of attaching a scope or silencer. Usual tools cameras, frag/emp grenades are made available as you progress further but despite the new direction taken towards Tom Clancy Spinter Cell games it lacks in one specific area, length of storyline.
However, the creators make up for this in Multiplayer allowing perhaps for the first time in Splinter a Co-Op Story Mode which in itself is a better experience than the single player. You will need to have another human player either with split screen or on xbox live.
Challenges and mini games also included to make up for the short story line.
Overall, after so much waiting for a new Splinter Cell game after the not so highly rated Double Agent leaves me very satisfied but not thrilled with Conviction as despite it's short story line the several options of Co-Op, Xbox Live and Challenges do make up for it.
