Of course, as a secret operative set in the future, you'll have access to a plethora of incredible gadgets and devices to help you in your missions, but being a stealth-based game, you can't really attract too much attention from the enemies or you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed.Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the sort of tactically-charged stealth game that will make fans of the genre wet themselves in excitement. It's one of the more unique game franchises to have come out of the Tom Clancy brand after all.
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!
