Splinter Cell Conviction is the latest installment in the Tom Clancy series, it is yet another stealth based game but it looks like they have made it a little easier to be stealthy. They based some of the movement on Rainbow six vegas, so it is cover based. The story is based on Sam being part of a conspiracy against him and now Grim, one of the higher ups wants him to overthrow a plot to save the president. Which has been done in many movies.
The interesting part of the game to me is the co-op, it takes the single player story and lets you play cooperatively another part that links to it. The single player is about four EMP bombs that threaten to blow up Washington and co-op is about how those EMP's came to the US. So co-op isn't just single player with two people it is whole other expierence.
There is also a mark system, sam can mark targets while hiding and then execute a move to take out muliple targets, this is a good way to do it. Some people might think that it dumbs down the game and I would agree but it must be easy enough for the average player to be able to enjoy it.
There are some online modes for Splinter Cell Conviction such as Huner: Two players team up to take out the enemies though the map. (sounds like terrorist hunt to me). Then there is Infiltration: Similar to Hunter but Stealthy. Last Stand: Similar to Horde, there is an EMP in the middle and two players must defend it against waves of enemies. Face off: basicaly one on one but with some bots to help out the players.
Overall I think the game looks interesting and will probably buy it but I don't think it is a must have even though I am a fan of the series.
