Splinter Cell: Conviction is the fifth game in Splinter Cell series. The game was originally scheduled for release on November 16, 2007, but has since been the subject of several delays.
The plot of the game is quite interesting. Splinter cell: Convictiuon sees Sam Fisher walks out on Third Echelon, despite threats from his superiors. He is now investigating the death of his daughter, Sarah Fisher, who was killed in a drunk driving accident during the events of Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Sam soon discovers that his daughter’s death was no accident, and must now uncover why his daughter was murdered and what connections it has to Third Echelon, which has become bogged down with red tape to the point of ineffectiveness and corruption.
Splinter Cell: Conviction is host to a number of new gameplay features for the series. One of these is the “Mark & Execute” feature. Mark and Execute allows Sam to peer under doors, gauging the locations of his enemies and targeting them for near-automatic headshots when you burst through the door or into the line of fire. The feature prioritizes the targets; for instance, if Sam enters a room with two enemies and a light fixture and the light and one enemy are targeted, he will target the light first to prevent the other enemy from detecting him and then take out the first enemy. The game has many revolutionary features for instance when Sam is hidden in shadows, stealthing along like the ex-spy he is, the environment’s colour actually drains away. The game has an intuitive system that keeps you immersed in the environment, reminding you that it’s critical to study and interpret the world around you before making any rash decisions.There is also the “last known location” feature, which occurs when Sam has been spotted but breaks the line of sight with the enemy. This produces a silhouette outlining Sam’s last known location that the enemy saw him, allowing him to alter his actions accordingly. Other features include the ability to shoot while hanging, and interrogating enemies using the environment, such as smashing someone’s head into a mirror.
Splinter Cell: Conviction feels like a more natural step for the franchise. Rather than turn Sam into a rebel in hiding, Ubisoft has made this Fisher an action hero in search of revenge, stalking from the shadows. There is no doubt, Splinter Cell: Conviction was one of the most impressive games at E3 conference.
