Tom Clancys Splinter Cell: Conviction

Cover of Tom Clancys Splinter Cell: Conviction
  • Released: 16/4/2010
  • RRP: £49.99
  • Platform: Xbox 360

The very first Splinter Cell game started off as a timed Xbox exclusive, so it’s not such a surprise to find the series returning its roots with this Xbox 360 (and PC) only iteration. Following on directly from the events of Double Agent, the story finds a 53 year old Sam Fisher coming out of retirement to save his old friend Anna Grimsdottir and ultimately end up as a wanted fugitive by his own former agency. It’s not just the story that takes an abrupt about turn either, because most of the game takes place within various major world cities, with crowds of people being Sam greatest source of cover. People will notice him acting suspiciously though, so it’s not a foolproof hiding spot. Because he doesn’t work for The Third Echelon anymore Sam no longer has access to all the fancy high tech equipment he used to. To make up for this he’s gained a special kind of spider-sense that lets him recognise police or G-men automatically. If he runs low on weaponry he can always steal guns and equipment from them, but what the game really encourages is for you to use the environment around you. Almost everything in the game, from a piece of paper to a park bench, can be interacted with and used either as a weapon or a means to block off doors or access new areas. Some games never evolve beyond their initial premise, but that’s not a fault Splinter Cell could ever be convicted of.Harrison Dent
