Splinter Cell: Conviction worth getting a 360 for.

MSXBox-World states: Microsoft have done well to secure the exclusive console rights to Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell : Conviction. Although also coming out on PC, the game seems destined to achieve system seller status considering how much effort Ubisoft Montreal have put into the game’s development.

The game was originally planned for release some two years ago and since then suffered many delays as well as a complete makeover. The original concept saw a bedraggled and unshaven Sam Fisher wandering around open environments, and a seeming change of direction that looked more akin to a wrestling game, as Sam picked up objects like chairs from the environment and used them in melee combat.

Well after some extensive play today with the game’s single player and multiplayer modes courtesy of Ubisoft, with a more recent build of the new Splinter Cell: Conviction, we can confirm that fans of the long running series are going to be well pleased with the package on offer, but more strikingly, we feel that fans of stealth or action games are going to be suitably impressed to the extent that if they’ve not got an Xbox 360 or decent enough PC to play it on would do well to jump on board and get a slice of the action. The game is really that good, and perhaps a little premature to say, but initial impressions indicate that this is probably going to be the best Splinter Cell game to date, surpassing that of Chaos Theory which was universally accepted as the best game thus far.

We’re not allowed to talk about specifics of our hands on today, but will state that Conviction is now on our most wanted list for 2010 and sad to say, games such as Final Fantasy XIII, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Modern Warfare 2 etc are all going to take a back seat when Fisher returns to our Xbox 360. Stay tuned for our full hands on preview in the coming weeks, but until then, April 13th (US) – 16th (EUR) seems a long way off.
