A potentially sexy game blemished by crappy coding.
Shame on Ubisoft for releasing this Alpha version of a game! Graphical issues and bugs appear in in the game randomly, even with the patches. The graphics are not THAT cutting edge yet it has a ridiculously high system requirement!
The storytelling here is a bit lackluster compared to the previous Splinter Cell games. Note the part where Sam's daughter gets killed. It's not in the game! There is this void in the story where you have to find the full story outside of the game! Minus points there.
The stealth system is downgraded to a simple flashing of green, yellow, and red to indicate the levels of danger. It's a good idea but because of the crappy AI's detection system it just fails to deliver the same level of control in the previous SC games.
We'll have to wait and see what Conviction has to offer. It better be good! Ubisoft owes it to us and also to the Splinter Cell series!
