I'm not a Splinter Cell fanboy, so I was able to enjoy the game a lot.
I understand why fans of the series were upset over the move from stealth to action, but I liked the gunplay and the visuals and style of the game.

this.Dumbed down trash.
would suggest you play chaos theory instead, best splinter cell imo
It it ain't broke, don't fix it. Conviction (SP at least) was fine as a Jack Bauer game perhaps, but they shouldn't have ruined Sam Fisher over making Splinter Cell more action-y after SCCT was so well made and well received.Listen JB1981, if you get the game for cheap go for it, specially on PC.
The people that classify the game as an abortion fail to understand that it was a necessary departure in a series that was running dry of ideas. However, it does have the dark operative mode that has similar gameplay style to the old games and can be played cooperatively.
It has some really good ideas in there and by no means it's mediocre in any context. We could only wish the industry would be plagued by games with this degree of mediocrity.
Also you can stealth the game or at least run trough it without much shooting but is a lot harder that in the other games of the series. People that said other wise didn't invest time in doing it, that's all.
Sorry for the bump but I figured it was better to discuss this here than start a new thread.
I finally got around to playing this one this weekend and I must say I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Sure, it isn't the Splinter Cell we all know and love but I knew that going in and my expectations were fairly low so I was pleasantly surprised by the game. It may not have been as stealth driven as I would have preferred but I would be lying if I said I didn't have a great time playing through it.
Anyone want to play some Deniable Ops? I don't have any friends who own this game and I'd really like to give it a shot.
Yeah, that was... something.dat iraq level...
otherwise, it was an okay game. Not very memorable (asside from the excellent co-op).
This is the type of post that helped lower my expectations appropriately going in. Personally I think you're being very hyperbolic with these statements but in this particular case I'll just thank you for it.Story was horrid. AI was fucking abysmal. Infested with invisible walls. Ugly and dated engine. New game mechanics dumbed down difficulty.
Otherwise it was fantastic.
Me said:It's a decent action game but a massive rape of everything the series stood for.
