Playstation 3 Customer Reviews
I originally wrote a review several years ago when I bought this game for Xbox 360. I had forgotten the review and came across it again and decided to upgrade and update my review since I'm now playing on the Playstation 3. First, after my Xbox broke for the eighth time or so, I begrudgenly decided to buy a PS3 and buy this game again. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the online gameplay is LEAGUES better on PS3 than the Xbox. The graphicsessentially the same. This review is directed exclusively towards the multiplayer game modes, as is clearly the area where this game excels. Here are the pros and cons of the game broken down for you:
CONS:
1) Sometimes (not often) the game crashes the PS3 (however, often froze the Xbox);
2) there are many parameters for the host to change, as happened with Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory, as the time of the game, the weapons available, etc.), and
3) there were no releases of any new maps since, roughly, the game was released.
PROS:
1) absolute heart-pounding action;
2) a gameplay that is not (yet) replicated by any other game;
3) to six players can get into a game (it used to be only four previous installments), and
4) there are many parameters for the host to change (Yes. .. this has been labeled as a "with", but I also think its a "pro" because this level the gamefield).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this franchise, here's an explanation of the multiplayer game modes:
SPY GOAL:
To download the two files from any combination of four terminals in each map and then return the file to your base. Each game is 20 minutes.
Mercenary GOAL:
To avoid the lights and return to download the two files to their base.
BASIC INFORMATION (Spies)
There are up tothree indicators that can play. Every indicator has four lives. As you progress in experience points, you can unlock different outfits for the spy. The most advanced male dress covers you entirely in black, so as to provide more coverage in the shadows. The lights are acrobatic in nature and are based on stealth and hide in the shadows. The player controls the light in the third visit. Spies can get into ventilation systems, the jump in ceilings. There are lights in each map can be "hacked" (ie, turnedoff) the lights, providing additional coverage. A file can be downloaded from a lamp when the light is near an end and, more light is at the end, the faster the download file. Spies can equip one of the four available gadgets, which can be replaced and recharged at any time, in a case of light weapons in the base.
Gadgets are these:
1) Smoke grenades: you have three smoke grenades that you can throw down. These cause the mercenariesto slow down and have difficulty moving, but do not provide much coverage.
2) Flash Grenade: Probably the most effective gadget, you have three of them to throw down the blind and mercenaries for a few seconds, allowing you to escape or groped a ploy to kill off (explained below).
3) Syringes: you have three of them to heal themselves or other lights, in case of injury.
4) Jammers: you have three of them to throw down ... These devices are small,essentially, bait light since it sounds like a spy and displayed on the HUD mercenaries' as if there was a spy.
You can kill a mercenary in one of three ways:
1) go after them and snap their necks;
2) jump on them two or
3) putting up a railing.
Spies also two special types of viewing modes to help with their difficult objectives:
1) in night vision, to help them see in the dark and
2) the mode of heat vision, to help them see themercenaries detecting body heat.
BASIC INFORMATION (mercenaries):
Mercenaries have four lives and can play up to three mercenaries. Unlike the spies, mercenaries are played by a first-person point of view, which limits the visual field (a good thing for the spies). Mercenaries are about firepower first, being equipped with only three weapons: the unlimited ammo in an automatic machine gun (capable of scoping), three grenades that can be recharged at anytime in the chest arms and mercenaries' located at the base and two mercenary "drones", which can also be supplied arms to his chest. Drones are attached to the shoulders of the mercenaries'. Since mercenaries are NOT acrobatic and can not jump in countertops, fireplaces, etc., a drone is critical for the mercenary. Once a drone is activated, the hireling sees things through the drone, which can be controlled by the mercenary to join vents, ceilings, etc. With the push of a button, the mercenary and threeseconds later, the drone can self-destruct, killing everything in its range of ... spies and mercenaries, so be careful! Also, when a mercenary is "drones", a danger is that a spy can just come after the mercenary and a shot in the neck, so be careful about that, too.
One of the greatest assets the mercenaries have a flashlight attached to the head of the pack is mercenary. The torch is essential to see a light in the dark. In addition, the mercenaries havefunction of a motion sensor that automatically creates a white line around a spy who is running and also a mode "EMF" that helps the mercenaries to see a light that is using a device of "hacking". There is also a "pulse" that goes off if a spy is nearby, where the pulse becomes stronger and faster as the mercenary comes to a spy, mercenary, helping to find the little devils. If there are three players as mercenaries for a given game, "bot" can be selected to fill these places so computercharacters can fill this void ... necessary, really, for these maps have three mercenaries at any given time, especially if you have an experienced pilot. As spies, as you increase experience points, you unlock more clothes mercenary. The suit covers a top-level mercenary in all black, by a mercenary harder to spot in dark places.
FINAL COMMENT: I can tell you that there is no other game that makes me get my hands shake from the pounding action in this game. WhenYou are a spy, and you are trying to hack a terminal, and you see a glimpse of a mercenary flash of light, which means that the mercenary has his way, the adrenaline is amazing! This game provides for unlimited hours of exciting game, as the re-playability of the online multiplayer is excellent. To this day, this is my favorite game online. Highly recommended to anyone interested in online gaming, and if you have both a PS3 and Xbox and you're only interested inbuy this game for a system, hands down buy the PS3 version.
Excelente Juego - Joel - And before ya jugado este tipo de juegos, este excelente me parécio, La Historia las Graficas mejoraron with respecto a los anteriores, un complicado juego, para aquellos que no les gusta mucho think no se los recomiendo, este es el juego que tendran UN esforzarse jugarlo Poder para que, muy bueno Lo recomiendo.
Classic Splinter Cell tactics, could be better - Norberto Perez - I was actually disappointed in the graphics to be "next gen" ... is behind the frame rate too much for my taste. The new course "Conviction" Splinter Cell looks fabulous, but the previous splinter cells seemed impressive, especially the shadowing and reflection of light on wet surfaces. The game is funny, though, watch out for missions to kill anyone, even if you knock out, that counts against your overall stealth level.
Great addition to a great series of games - David L. Beveridge II - This is a great addition to the series. I'm really exicted to see what they do with Splinter Cell Conviction. I love these types of games. It takes a higher level of skill to master IMO games hidden than it does shoot em 'up games. In addition to the Metal Gear Solid series, this is one of my favorite games.
