- Gaming Pastime reviews Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction for Xbox 360.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft and Microsoft Game Studios, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction was released for Xbox 360 in April, 2010. Splinter Cell: Conviction deviates from the established formula in favor of more action. It's fun but it doesn't feel like Splinter Cell.

A lot of people don't like this game, I particularly love it, it's not the Splinter Cell that we know, but it's still a great game.
I gotta say I agree, and I feel like I'm often an outlier here in the SC fan community! I love how well the gameplay and movement flows with Conviction. It's so easy to pickup and play anytime, even after you haven't touched it in months. It's also a fun challenge to try and stealth your way through everything in Conviction I've found. Great review!
as always man, wonderful review and amazing audio quality on the voice over! thanks brother
Good job on this review. I don't think that Conviction was that bad. I though it was pretty hardcore.
I don't care for the main game, but the one thing it does have, the reason it is worth buying, is *DENIABLE OPS* and the *INSURGENCY DLC* pack. Hours and hours of fun trying out different sandboxy ways to take down the bad guys. I still have it installed on my PC to this day, at the expense of all the hundreds of modern games I have on Steam.
True, Ubi shut down the servers long ago, and you need to Google a fix to access the DLC maps.
EDIT - Don't buy the Insurgency DLC. I forgot, the fix only works IF you had already registered it in game BEFORE the servers shutdown.
Cant wait fr the blacklist review, i felt like tht game took the elements frm all the games and put it in one package.
My only issue is no Ironside which I know why but if they made it a prequel instead I wouldn’t have minded as much and I think it would’ve been more interesting.
Yeah Blacklist for me personally has the best feeling and responsive gameplay. Mixes fast pace stealth with more options allowing it to be slower paced.
Yea but still felt less satisfying to play than chaos theory and Sam Fisher without Michael Ironside felt weird.
@@DJBV Agreed on both.
Should've been any other agent than Sam really.
@@konradfun All they had to do was make a new protagonist. Really dumb that they actually thought they can keep Sam Fisher going when 90% of the character was the guy who voiced him.
It's fun hearing your opinion as a newcomer to the series, because even you agree this isn't really a Splinter Cell game.
I loved conviction. It was the perfect medium between video game and movie. The way they put objectives as the white writing on the walls was also an nice touch that didn't pull you out of the experience.
While it's just an OK action game, one thing I really love about this game is the multitude of execution animations available for different weapons
Sadly not carried over to Black list
My first and favorite splinter cell game.
When Splinter Cell jumped the shark.
Blacklist is pretty good though.
@@idakev Blacklist is underrated. My second favorite Splinter Cell. Conviction is okay, but easily the worst Splinter Cell. Its a third-person shooter, and not a stealth game.
@@NihilisticIdealist Yeah, I agree. I don't agree with people that Conviction is awful (it's definitely a decent game) but it's not much of a stealth game.
Conviction? Issues? Modern hardware? I mean, the game always was silly demanding for the visuals on offer, with MSAA even more so. Co-op was been almost completely broken for a decade. But the single player doesn't have hardware issues.
I don't care much about the story campaign in this game, but deniable ops is a guilty pleasure.
Completed this a small year ago on x360. Genuinely disliked it. Same for hitman abolution. A shift in gameplay genre losing the series identity in the proces, unskippable cutscenes, no replay value. Luckely both game series survived this horrible phase and came out for the better.
I remember playing it in 2013, and it didn't have any issues, I don't know why wikipcgaming said that
Most PCs in 2013 weren't aiming for refresh rates over 60 fps, and driver and windows updates really make backwards comparability on PC hard
@@evangel1460 Okay then I see, a retro PC with Windows 7 is the solution then?
Super game👍 One of the my favourite
"Hardcore" means it's not for dumb people.
Like you?
Maybe the "hardcore" statement was a translation issue.
there's only one problem with this game, it's too short.
I hate this game so much. No hiding bodies, less stealth options, very stupid story, cheese quickkills and qte sequences... Definetely the worst Splinter Cell in my book.
At least I can say it's better than Hitman Absolution was at being Hitman or than Thief 4 was at being Thief. But that aint much.
The crazy thing is……this game is completely different then what is was *suppose* to be. If anyone finds footage of it, it’s very unique.
Co-op story mode was the most crazy ending I’ve seen in a game.
Hardcore = You play the game
Accessible = The game plays itself
On pc its actually less broken than double agent, just disable hyperthreading/smt if you have an 6-8 cores cpu and lock your fps at 120 or less if you dont want broken physics.
Conviction is nowhere to be as broken as Double Agent because Double Agent is almost completely broken and there is no way to fix it, unlike Conviction. Double Agent is most broken game I played in my entire life tbh it shouldnt be available in digital stores its more broken that first game and Pandora Tommorow on modern PC and first game and PT can be fixed with fan fixes.

You actually made me lol. /kudos :)

Ugh there have been so many times I’ve wanted to play this game again recently but I have the pc version. It works for the most part but there’s a lot of hoops you have to jump through. Great review!
Conviction isn't I suppose bad game,but it's absolutely disgusting to say it's Splinter Cell game. It's so different than any previous SC. I knew I'll hate Conviction,but bought it years later for like few euros for PC and I was right. It's horrible SC,but I kinda had good time in multiplayer and as shooter it's ok. Oh and I absolutely hated the style it projects objectives etc.in walls etc. Maybe the worst and distracting way to convey information ever. Also the level linearity bothered me shit tons more here than it's predecessor. Also disliked the sounds and music in this one for some reason.
I love this game. It's an abomination if you're talking about it as a splinter cell game but it feels so good in spite of that and has a fun, cheesy cinematic story. The style really adds a lot.
It's honestly a great foundation for a John Wick game.
@@TJB-Gaming absolutely. This game (and Blacklist) have a lot of untapped and overlooked mechanics. There's a flow to combat and a style to it that is pretty much impossible to find in any other game
Mick foley is hardcore
This is the 24 game i always wanted, personally enjoyed this since Michael Ironside got to show off his acting here and gave much more depth to Sam Fisher and made me care about the characters. The fast paced stealth was fun, suppose thats just the way i liked to play and the brutality of it from a man with rage and hatred . At least the story complimented these changes
shame this is the final ironside game. know he shows up in some ghost recon game for one mission but it's not the same.
Runs in 4K on Series X. Best place to play it not on an Xbox 360.
I honestly did not even understand what you were saying with the whole hardcore and accessible thing. I was like wtf?
This is such an underrated channel.
I think it's labeled "hardcore" because stealth is a pretty niche genre so games in that genre appeal to a more "hardcore" fanbase of stealth gamers. Wouldn't you say the casual gamer isn't that into dedicated stealth titles? Because I would. I think the distinction between "hardcore" and "accessible" gameplay is not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be
I tried this one for a short while. Having the enemies shout all the time got on my nerves fast. They cant see the killer in the dark, so they just shout swear words every few seconds. Also having the entire game focus on the mark and execute meant that any other play style felt "wrong".
Yeah and mark and execute got quite meh fairly early on. I thought it would've been some occasional thing,but then game went full "tag and press button" and it got old really fast.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I loved this game, please don’t crap on it 😂
Looking forward to the Blacklist review
One of the better written and told stories but definitely the shift in tone for future Tom Clancy games going forward. The original pitch, an open world fugitive inspired game based in Washington, looked so cool though shame they couldnt nail that down.
Yeah that idea sounded interesting. And the footage was so different. Still liked this game for what it was.
If you need someone for the review in coop I’ve completed this game 100%
Really liking your Splinter Cell reviews. I myself have not played Blacklist before, so im looking foward to your review of it. Since i prefer more the chaos theory approach, when conviction lauched i played it but felt a bit of pain because i no longer had any other game that same style of stealth as the previous SC games, and have kind of abbandoned the franchise waiting for it to return to a more stealth gameplay. Now, years later, im willing to give it a try, hope i will like it.
I’ve played almost every stealth game, and thoroughly enjoyed blacklist! Give it a shot. It’s not as hardcore as CT but makes up for that in other aspects.
Conviction should be described as softcore, if the previous games are hardcore. I don't know what it means, but I also don't know what hardcore means. I just know it sounds like you might need to close the curtains and lock your door to play it
Now at this point in time, I haven't seen your other Splinter Cell videos, but I was interested in checking this one out because I got this game digitally for free via Xbox Gold, but I haven't really tried it out yet. So I wanted to see how this game was with this video. It looks pretty fun and judging from what you said, I'd probably enjoy this game more than the others, simply because I don't really enjoy a lot of Stealth focused games. I typically enjoy faster paced games, so I'd probably like this one over the others, but that's just me and I can still see why fans of the series wouldn't like this one as much, at least as a Splinter Cell game. I guess you could say it's similar to how I feel about the Metal Gear games, cause I couldn't get into that series, but I do enjoy Rising Revengeance. Good video btw.
I haven't finish Chaos Theory, but I had A BLAST with conviction, taking it as an interactive Action Film. Blacklist? Overall a bigger game but turns repetitive quickly.
It’s in the category of “a great game but not a good XXX game”. Yeah, Conviction’s stealth elements are streamlined to extreme. But damn it is a blast when you play.
So after watching your last few videos I’m starting to get a vague feeling that you liked chaos theory. Not sure though.
This game is what started Splinter Cell for me and is mainly nostalgic for me.
Still love this game with its faults.
Hardcore Review 😂
I wonder if the Mark and Fire system is trademarked like the Nemesis system. Its never been in another game
Pls play the coop ! U wont regret it !!
This was the 1st sc game i beat, so far
You're 12 years late.
that's the appeal of this channel
Every time I see a comment like this I hope this guy starts reviewing the fucking Super Mario franchise just to spite people lmao
this game really is the best john wick type game i think we will ever get
This game is just a straight rip-off of The Bourne Conspiracy game
@emulation2369 dam I forgot about that game that was a fun game for me personally
@@Frank7G I loved it, still playing it from time to time)
@@emulation2369 nice. It was a pretty underrated game.
This game is awesome and severely underrated. The gameplay is really solid.
Maybe less true to the formula than other entries, but I'll happily choose this one over some others like Double Agent 360 or Pandora Tomorrow. Same for Hitman Absolution.
I'd gladly select any of those before Conviction 🙂
@@jothain I don’t know, those two I mentioned feel arbitrary and random in the detection and alarm mechanism to the point that I am most frustrated whenever I replay, especially Double Agent.
@@Toschez Well Double Agent indeed seemed to have almost particular zones you couldn't enter iirc. Especially on X0 version. OG was just fine imo.
This game is as close as we came to a Jason Bourne game.
