Yes, this is still a very similar game, but it really does play and feel fresh at the same time. The improvements in combat and stealth are certainly the main draw of the show here, and both succeed in evolving the franchise, keeping it fresh and current. If you’re the type who avoids black-and-white movies like the plague, this may not impress. This is a bit of a double edged sword, though, and as Sam likes to stay hidden, you’ll spend a good deal of the game in black and white. This works well, and although still a clear sign of Sam’s current camouflage state, it’s more natural, and is a good way to handle things. Instead the game renders everything in black and white when Sam is safely hidden, and then bleeds out everything to colour when he’s not. Sam can’t, initially at least (until the new sonar goggles are found), see in the dark, and there’s no light meter to show you how well Sam is hidden. Most notable is the lack of the game’s iconic goggles. Splinter Cell, even with more of a focus on combat, is still all about stealth, though, and changes have been made here too. In fact, the game is often at its best when you’re discovered, and the nail-biting game of cat and mouse that you play with the game’s above average AI is enjoyable. This time, though, this isn’t the case, and even if you’re discovered, you can regroup and carry on. Often in previous games, you’d simply reload or let your foes kill Sam, so you could start again.


It’s a great feature, not least in that it finally kills off one of Splinter Cell‘s big issues: the inability to recover easily if you make a mistake. However, there’s much more scope than simply flanking here, and by combining this system with some of Sam’s gadgets, such as a remote mine, you can create some truly satisfying traps. What I can say, without fear of spoiling your experience, is that Sam, while initially reluctant to get involved in the events of the game, soon ends up indulging in his old tricks, and is as deadly as ever, even without the considerable backing of Third Echelon. I won’t spoil the story, of course, but this outing is all about Sam, and is a much more personal affair, concentrating on Sam, his daughter and events that have brought Sam to his current situation. Regardless of your decisions made in the previous game, though, the story here is set in stone, so don’t expect your previous choices to have much weight here. The game is a very different animal from the Assassin’s Creed-esque prototype originally planned.Ĭontinuing the arcing Splinter Cell story, Conviction takes place a while after the events seen in Double Agent.
