Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne vs Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne continues the storyline where the first game left off. Reprise your role as Max Payne himself as he tries to make peace with the tragic loss he had experienced... and failed. He still has many questions that haunt him and a femme fatale murder suspect that he met during a routine murder investigation might be the only person who can unlock the answers. Of course, the underworld is keen on keeping Max in the dark and will do whatever it needs to silent him and his new companion, perhaps once and for all.Featuring the epic and intense storytelling that had amassed a somewhat cult-like following for the game franchise, Max Payne 2 promised a story coupled with its hallmark slow-motion gameplay that will dig deep into your emotional reserves as you watch Max himself descend deeper into his own personal hell. This game is definitely a must-have for fans of the game series.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is the first sequel to the Splinter Cell game series. Featuring an epic continuation of the plot, this game puts you once again into the shoes of Sam Fisher, a former secret operative of the NSA's Third Echelon who turned renegade when he find himself betrayed by the very agency he spilled his blood for. In addition to having your colleagues from the Third Echelon hot on your tail, you have to race to foil a devastating terrorist plot that will cost millions of innocent lives.This game has stepped up its game by offering a host of improvements ranging from better and admittedly cooler arsenal to aid you in your mission, a more gripping storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and best of all, the newly added multiplayer function that allows you to play with friends.
However, the game has definitely not aged well and plenty of players have reported problems when trying to run the game on current systems. Not to mention, the game seems to have set aside its stealth-heavy approach and opt for a more instinctive cover-and-shoot system. This is still good and all if the cover system is actually needed to play the game - it's not.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction may not be what many have expected it to be but it still has one hell of a storyline. Oh and don't forget to make sure the game works on your system before the refund period ends!
