Splinter Cell: Conviction is a different kind of Splinter Cell game. It's more action-packed than the older ones, with a brutal fighting style and a focus on taking down enemies in quick bursts. The story's dark and gritty, and while you can still sneak around in the shadows, there's more emphasis on blasting your way through problems. Some fans might miss the slower, stealthier gameplay, but the new mechanics are fun to use, and the interrogation scenes are brutal and satisfying. If you want a more aggressive Splinter Cell experience, Conviction delivers with a surprising amount of heart under the hood.
