Splinter cell conviction game informer rating


















The ESRB is accurate in its warning about "intense" violence. There is no nudity in the game but you can see exotic dancers in a nightclub sway their bodies seductively wearing bras and panties for tough-looking men. The game also has some dialogue that references sex and prostitution, such as "paying for an hour with an American girl.

Gamers will hear plenty of profanity -- even from the very beginning of the game. Harsh words include "f--k," "motherf--ker," "c--ksucker," "sh-t" and "asshole. Parents need to know that Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is rated Mature because it contains plenty of violence and other themes not suitable for kids or young teens, including profanity, sexuality and drugs.

Violence includes shooting enemies in a realistic fashion and with realistic visuals , seeing blood spray out of enemies though it's never over-the-top , and using your bare hands to inflict damage, whether it's pulling an enemy out of a window, smashing their head into objects to make them talk, or sneaking up behind an enemy to twist his neck.

Parents should also note that this game facilitates open communication between players in online play. Common Sense Media does not recommend open online play for children under 12 years of age.

This time around, however, the former member of the elite Third Echelon, a secret division within the National Security Agency, is out for vengeance as he vows to track down his daughter Sarah's killer. Fisher soon stumbles upon something much bigger than his own personal vendetta, but revealing more of the game's well-told story would spoil it especially as it contains a few plot surprises and familiar faces from past games.

While he's now playing by his own rules, Fisher still relies on his core skills as a solo field operative, including stealth lurk in the shadows and scale buildings , gadgetry such as sonar goggles and a broken car mirror to peek under doors and combat both hand-to-hand and weapon-based. This fifth Splinter Cell game is more action-oriented than its predecessors.

Yes -- for adult gamers. Fisher has acquired some new "Mature"-rated tricks, such as the power of persuasion, which lets players "interrogate" suspects and other thugs by slamming their head into tables, walls, toilet bowls or windows.

Players can even complete side challenges for being creative in their interrogation techniques. Fisher can also tag enemies in the "mark and execute" feature, which allows him to take out multiple enemies at the tap of a button. It would be remiss not to mention the outstanding production values in this third-person adventure, including the cinematic way it introduces mission objectives and Sam's thoughts by splashing words and images onto the environment itself.

Some of the documentary-style "shaky" camera angle effects might bother some, though. Toss in multiplayer play, including a thrilling co-op mode with its own unique story, and it's easy to see why Splinter Cell: Conviction will likely be the must-play action game of the season. Online interaction: The game offers many multiplayer modes including a much-hyped co-op mode. Gamers can talk over Xbox Live while playing so it's possible for players to hear profanity from other players though we didn't hear any , exchange personal information, and be exposed to abuse.

Families can talk about whether games like this -- those that let you live vicariously through a tough-as-nails agent -- are healthy entertainment for mature adults. Do they desensitize us to violence and make us more susceptible to act out in real life?

Is this visceral entertainment a temporary, virtual getaway from our ordinary lives and a way to unwind after a long day, or is it whetting our appetites for real bloodshed? Families can also discuss Sam's character in this game as opposed to previous games in the series. Is Sam a hero by avenging his daughter's murder? Or has he become a murderer himself?

I've already had the game spoiled for me by some attention seeker on another site. Yea I read it accidently, but if it is true.. O well- at least it'll be a fun game and see the story unfold. Does anyone know if Lamberts alive in Conviction or not? Lol I read the spoiler. I've already read the book so I know how it ends.

Like it's somehow gonna stop me from enjoying the game. Day One Purchase Me thinks Pretty obvious considering its on Preorder. I completed it yesterday reallly amazing game was not expecting it to be so good wish it was a bit longer.

You may know how it ends as you say that you've read the book and SolidMGSnake says he saw it coming a mile away. That completely misses the point. Others have not read the book and most may wish to see the plot unfold without having the narrative deliberately sabotaged for them. Eiffel i am glad it won't stop you from enjoying the game and nor should it.

But this tit for tat nonsense of people deliberately spoiling games for others is an act unbecoming of a gentleman. This goes for both Xbox and PS3 people who do it "I would hereby hand down a sentence of 15 minutes in a padded cell with a large angry tattooed man sporting a smile, claw hammer and a large erect! Agreed its getting more and more ridiculous mods need to regulate the spoiler content with immediate bans from the forums. First Heavy rain got slightly spoiled for me then i hear alan wake story is out in full details plot twist and all and now they're doing it with splinter cell.

There are many others also I'm sure, it really is stupid and very immature to ruin a game for many just because you can.

And just wait until Natal arrives. Both the hardcore and the causals will be happy as heck. That'll teach Ubisoft a lesson, buying their game then returning it and then buying another copy of their game. You are such a rebel!!! Rental, especially considering I will have it finished in a bit over 5 hours.

The story is too old to be commented. Agree 2 Disagree 1. Agree 6 Disagree DelbertGrady d ago Probably hours for the single player campaign. Agree 6 Disagree 5. DeZv3 d ago Edited d ago Why so defensive dude? Agree 2 Disagree 0. Basil-Rathboner d ago Dont read the top comment on the site, there is a possible major spoiler.

Agree 4 Disagree 2. Kingdom Come d ago I've already had the game spoiled for me by some attention seeker on another site.
