Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction

1. Sawyer June 4, 2010

   I found this game to be….extremely entertaining, yet unacceptable. As a huge fan of the Splinter Cell series, I was looking forward to this new release. Something I've always loved about Splinter Cell is the fact that the series focuses as much on the story as it does on the gameplay. However, this game let me down. I did enjoy the action, but the story was lacking. Also, the amount of foul language is just obscene. It goes so far as to make the game unrealistic. If you had the most highly trained killer in the world coming after you, would you really be constantly swearing at and insulting him? However, I found the sexual content to be almost non-existent. You hear, in passing, a vague hint that the man you are seeking traffics young girls. All I saw was one or two women passed out on a bed. You are constantly being attacked in this area and, therefore, you do not have time to see much aside from the spray of bullets coming at you. I also did not hear any sexual references, such as "c*cksucker". All-in-all, an excellent game, but the constant presence of extremely foul language made it unacceptable. I heard the f-word over ten times just in one level; not to mention the continuing s-words, and b-words. I also heard the word whore once.

   I was really looking out for this game, and they messed up the ENTIRE series of splinter cell, what happened to the old ones where swears is as far as it goes? The one with Lambert half-way being a nuisance, while Sam cracks jokes while even in a battle, I hate to say it, but this is splinter cell's last chance.

   Oh, and er, the f-bomb swear counts under sexual themes.

   But thanks for the info anyways!

   the people in this game swearing are highly paid mercs they are known for being overconfident in other entertainment media and foul mouthed. I am sure someone who is well paid would not be afraid of a trained killer like Sam because he believes he is good enough plus Sam is like 50 in this game people have a perception that by that age you are not as dangerous there for youthful bravado also makes them a little more cocky.

   The sexual themes where all in part of the foul language. F-bomb, and calling Sam a pussy, et cetera. If it weren't for the language, blood and gore this would have been a great new splinter cell game. I like the new marking system and I thought they did a fairly good job with the story as it helped make Sam a real person. However the constant cursing and the new stealth mode that ends in killing people rather then just incapacitating them ruined the game. It is a Fun game but not deserving of the Splinter Cell Title.
