Story
A few years have passed since the cliff hanger conclusion of Tom Clancy's
Splinter Cell: Double Agent, in which Agent Sam Fisher undertook a
particularly dirty mission, full of questionable actions, in the shadow of the
inexplicable and unmourned death of his daughter. Fisher is now a renegade
operative digging into the events of the past and he doesn't like what he has
found. His personal investigation into his daughter's death reveals that he's
been betrayed by his former agency, the Third Echelon. The agency responds by
pursuing him, but as he works to elude them he becomes aware of a deadly
terrorist plot that threatens millions. He is uniquely positioned and prepared
to act against this, but success is doubtful without the help of former friends
from the Third Echelon team, resulting in a series of life and death situations
for himself and the country where trust can by no means be assumed.
Gameplay
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, as with all games in the
Splinter Cell series, is a tactical stealth-action game. In single player
modes players take on the role of Sam Fisher and engage in a series of missions
utilizing high-tech weaponry, gadgets, lethal hand-to-hand combat and
interrogation skills. Overall objectives and the necessary steps to achieve them
are challenging, yet always clear via dual verbal and visual expression that
seamlessly alerts players as they progress through missions. In addition,
Conviction enhances the world of stealth combat that has made the
Splinter Cell franchise a runaway hit for years through a series of
revolutionary new gameplay features. These include:
- Mark and Execute - A gameplay mechanism for eliminating several enemies
at once, Mark and Execute allows players to "Mark" multiple enemies, or points
in the surrounding environment for termination in batches. Once this is done, a
close-combat kill is required, after which the player can activate the "Execute"
portion of the mechanism to dispose of all enemies in a cinematic manner. A
limited amount of Mark functionality is attached to players' weapons, so this
ability must be used wisely.
- Last Known Position - Last Known Position is a visual representation of
where the game's AI assumes you are, based on where you were last sighted. This
provides players with a wide array of options, including setting traps for
enemies, flanking maneuvers or simply disappearing while you are thought to be
elsewhere.
- Experience System - Successful completion of objectives via the
Persistent Elite Creation System earns players rewards in the form of experience
points. These can be used to upgrade weapons and gadgets that will allow for
cleaner, quieter and more deadly attacks.
Co-op Story Mode
Prologue, the co-op story mode included in Splinter Cell: Conviction is
available either in split-screen local play or via Xbox LIVE. Prologue offers an
exclusive prequel campaign to that found in single player mode and features new
characters and settings, three difficulty settings, three sub game modes and
four maps. Designed to stand apart from, as well as supplement the single player
campaign, gameplay mechanics available within it include shareable Mark and
Execute target points and Last Known Position, as well as teammate revival
functionality via a portable defibrillator, the ability to work with a teammate
to eliminate enemies who have captured you, and more.
