“This a wonderfully immersive tactical experience, allowing you to play as one bad-ass sam fisher, stealthing his way through levels. Each level (usually) has multiple routes for you to take, allowing you to play to your strengths, choosing to be stealthy and take as many hand-to-hand kills as possible, snipe your enemies from a distance, confuse and explode them with your array of gadgets, or whip out your big guns and blast them all away. The objectives are always set out clearly and are quite clever in their execution. The interrogation sequences add a little much-needed sadism to an otherwise controlled game. The co-op is worthy of a game of it's own, taking the core mechanics of the game and expanding on them to create interesting and fantastically fun missions to be approached with another gamer, allowing for some excellent "woah!" moments. A game that should be played, alone or with a friend.”

“Awesome! Co-op rules!”

“In Splinter Cell: Conviction, you take control of Sam Fisher on a path for revenge for his daughter's death.

The single player story is very short and won't take you long at all to finish, and the ending isn't all that great, but I still enjoyed playing it either way.

Deniable Ops and CO-OP are pretty much the main focus of Conviction. You and team up with a friend to play the CO-OP Story, Hunter (where you and your buddy try to take out all enemies in the level without being detected; if you get detected, more bad guys will spawn), Last Stand (where you and your buddy try to defend an EMP against waves of enemies), and Face-Off (where you and your buddy fight against each other while fighting against waves of enemies, basically a free-for-all). The matchmaking, however, isn't exactly there. Private matches are the way to go, so find a friend to play with for maximum fun.

To close this review, I love this game. The single player is pretty fun and intense, and the CO-OP modes are awesome. Recommend this game, 5/5.”
