Does Splinter Cell Conviction deserve more respect?

Everything I seemed to have read on GS about the game was negative, "the demo sucked", "not like old splinter cells", "too short", "didnt live up to hype" etc...so I lost interest. Well I went to rent a game and they didn't have alan wake so I got this one and I'm having a ton of fun with it, only about 2 hours into the campaign and have played a couple hours coop with my friend. the controls are good, shooting is fun, and I think you do have to plan lots of your attacks, people said you could just go around shooting and didn't have to use stealth..in some parts that is true, some places you have to go guns blazes, but the majority of times when I tried that I died very quick...stealth was required.

I think SC: C is a very fun game I'm curious what you think.

I think so yes, I had tons of fun with the campaign personally. The coop is also fun. Only thing i would ahve improved is the ability to move bodies and more of a versus mode online.

Also the storytelling and atmosphere was well done to, and the interigation was fun (:

The game forces you to play it like a shooter in multiple locations and you can play the entire game with 0 strategy involved unless you are completely terrible. The game is very short and has 0 replayability and the co-op is only 3 or 4 missions. They also took out spies vs mercs.. so no it doesn't deserve more respect.

was the game worth the wait?splinter cell: convictionhad been delayed about three times.

I haven't played the game, but this seems to be the majority of complaints. I walked into Gamestop the other day to buy Red Dead Redemption and saw tons of Splinter Cell: Convictions on the used shelf.

For me, the game seems too short to warrant a $60 price tag.

No, while i was playing it i enjoyed it, but looking back, it wasnt very memorable, there wasnt any "oh sh**" moments. the graphics looked out of date, the campaign was short, the stealth wasnt really stealth, if you get spotted its no big deal because you can just run the other way and pick off the bad guys since they were dumber then a door knob. it was an ok game, it might have not even deserved an 8.

The game is great. I am really looking forward to the new download content coming out. I think people knock it around here because it's not on their console of choice or they feel like it has changed too much from the older Splinter Cell games. I think this game is exactly where Splinter Cell needed to go, it's much more modern now.

Terrible game. Im only holding onto it untill my buddy picks it up so we can play coop. Other then that its easily the worst Splintercell ever made. It goes against everything the series has set up. The direction was totally wrong. Go back to the drawing board Ubisoft. Seriously I dont understand these guys this gen. TERRIBLE!

I'm not really one to purchase new games because I stick with my good ol' shooters so as you can imagine, I didn't buy this game. I am not really into Splinter Cell anyway but my friends are. Most of my friends are achievement hunters and often buy most games that come out. A few of my friends said it was a terrible game and they're all really good at gaming, even my friends uncle who is ranked quite high in the world for his gamerscore (Pigimus Prime) said the game was horrid.

yeah that about sums it up. Two things really hurt this game imo. The fact that they completely scrapped the original version which was shaping up to look amazing and is probably why the game is so short. Second the fact that they tried to make SC appeal to a wider audience. In the end it fell to what so many games have this gen, they just dumbed down the whole stealth exp. It really disappointed me. SC:C is a weekend rental at best.

I thought it was a great game, only problem was when it forced you to not be stealthy. Overall I'd give it an 8.8.

If you have a friend to play it with, the co-op is endless fun, but only if you want it to be. If you run around shooting everyone with an AK-47 saying "this game is so stupid" then obviously your not going to like it. But if you sneak around with a friend, take it slowly, and actually try to not get detected it is really fun.

Its a great game. Just not a Splinter Cell game.

The game has a couple of negative aspects, but overall, Splinter Cell: Conviction is a great game. It advances the storyline of the previous games greatly and has an explosive ending. I loved SC:C!
