Review: Splinter Cell Conviction (360)

+'s
-a more action-based Splinter Cell
-does a good job making you feel like a predator
-controls are intuitive and tight
-weapon upgrade system keeps things fun (and it's great it works across all modes of play)
-Co-op campaign is fun for awhile

-'s
-single player campaign is very short (about 5 hours)
-story is tough to follow (in typical Tom Clancy fashion) and not very impactful
-graphics are pretty good in spots, and pretty bad in others
-not much reason to replay the game

Neutral
-still mostly a stealth based game. You will die if you play it otherwise.

Overall, the single player campaign was fun for a bit. The Co-op campaign was fun for awhile, but got very stale and monotonous very quickly. Few Tom Clancy games have truly been for me, and this is no exception. Definitely not a bad game, but also not one I can recommend.
