Life Is Just A Dream™

Outline

the story in the singleplayer of Splinter Cell Conviction is one that is divided in two the main overall story that fetures the memoble sam fisher and a prologue of sorts that holds a major segiment which sets up events that shape the rest of the plot that happens in the main campain the latter is the co-opble so that you and a friend can tag team in vareties ways the main story is set up in wonderful mixture between cutsences gameplay and flashback that meshes perectly together with eacther in one single presintastion for long time fans and newcomers as such as myself the basic outline of conviction is this 3 years have gone by and sam has come out of hiding when he gets word that the death of his little girl may not have been an as random as once thought so he embarkes on a one man quest for the truth which takes him to places he never thought hed see again and uncovers things that make him a great nuisance for his pursuers



Gameplay

being a steath action game conviction uses a number of different approaches to moving into an area and dispatching enemies as such you chose to mark & execute by individually targeting one or more of your enemies depending on your weapon how many can be marked so it pays to think and plan out your method of attack otherwise youll be hard pressed to improvise on the spot that being said each environment is unique bringing the right weapon and gaget in singleplayer sam has access to all gagets but in co-op youl only have your choice of 2 also you always have your choices between guns with or without suppressors this is entirely up to player based on play style tools of the trade is important but conviction also lets you take out enemies bare handed means if no firearm will do or if the moment doesnt warrant one its a nice touch as it lets you do thing quick and dirty if need be if enemies are however alerted thats LKP or last known position comes into play if your discovered by an guard he or they are aware of your location began hostal actions at this moment a shade or ghost image appears of sam fisher or you're coop character reguardless it informs the enemies of your presence and the'll use any and every means to eliminate you so stay on top at all times and that note taking a hostage is very useful in the mist of combat as it gives you "meat shield" aganst incoming fire :)



Multiplayer

deniable ops as memtioned earlier is a strictly co-op oriented online modes
Infiltration: a takeout every enemy before you can move on the next area without alerting the enemies

Hunter: similar to terrorist hunt from rainbow six the goal here is to kill all opposition and you can use almost any means nessecary but if you dont alert the gurads there is less opposition to deal with.

Face-Off: goal is to kill all AIs and the other player in massive undertaking
Last Stand: you and another if available must defend an emp device from waves of enemy reinforcements for twenty or so rounds :(
which lets partispenting players go up against the AI in each of which only one "face off" let one player vs another deniable ops adds a nice replay method of allowing players to hone their skills and talents by accomplishing all objectives within the levels taken from the prologue in which player play as ether archer or kestrel (an american and russian agents) you can customize all outfits to better suit your style weather bring more ammo or gagets or by adding more armor anything give you the edge to succeed in this cooperative asspect of the game



Conclusion

all things considered this is very enjoyble game iv got give ubisoft a hand they put together a wonderful game especially for long time fans of the franchise and those newcomers with an passing interest this undoubtedly will be their first entry into the world of splinter cell an emphasis on a wider target demographic meaning i think more people enjoy this splinter cell more than the others just on the direction they took, they made it fun and badass to be sam fisher in a environment which he is most lethal individual rather than a ultra realistic steath-game where only 1% of hardcore population gamers could play with any real degree enjoyment so if there is to another splinter cell i hope it follows the path set down by this the fith installment two thumbs way the hell up.
