Sam Fisher is back with vengeance in the latest sequel to the Splinter Cell series: Conviction. As most of you know, Sam’s daughter was killed at the very beginning in Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Sam quit Third Echelon in order to find his daughter’s murderer.
Fisher doesn’t play by the rules anymore, he will kill everyone in his path to find his daughter’s killer. With the coming brutality of Sam Fisher, the stealth aspect of the game is diminished. But a system similar to the VATS system in Fallout 3 is brought into the game: Mark and Execute.
This new targeting system makes crisp, sound killings a breeze. When the icon turns red, pull the trigger and Sam scores a guaranteed kill. The system also can target multiple enemies at once, depending on the gun Sam is wielding.
Splinter Cell: Conviction also includes a new feature called Last Known Position. If Sam fires shots off in the dark, the AI will eventually figure out where he fired and head over to that spot. This “Last Known Position” is marked by a white silhouette. You can use this feature to trick foolish AI into setting off mines and walking into a face full of buckshot. However, as your AI intelligence improves, they will take caution and usually flank that position and look for places where you can be hiding.
Brutality plays an important role in Conviction. Sam breaks arms, crushes faces, and leaves enemies bent in two in an instant. Interrogation moments are even more brutal. You are in full control of Sam during interrogation moments, you can finally BRING THE PAIN! You must do whatever it takes to make your thug to spill the beans. This includes slinging a thug into a urinal, beating the guy’s head in, and even cracking his head into a mirror!
Unlike the past Splinter Cell games, Sam Fisher moves silently and quickly, like a panther. Also, there is a faster paced gameplay. Sam has no time to waste, he must be silent, quick, and proficient. Objective projections appear on important buildings, thus aiding Sam in finding his daughter’s killer.
