ConvictionThis is one hell of a game. I just finished the single player in Normal setting. I have dabbled for a few hours with a buddy in Co-op.
Let me tell you that the intensity goes way up with the music change. It sets the tone for each campaign. This is pure espionage, sneaking around and executing the bad guys. But, as Sam Fisher it seems that everyone is a bad guy.
It may take some getting used to the controls, but each button makes sense. Don't think I didn't fumble myself, and scream obscenities at the screen. Boy, was it satisfying clearing a room.
Crank up the surround sound because each and every speaker will be put to good use, especially the subwoofer.
The story line is the back bone which carries the progress forward. The play is much like Batman Arkham Asylum. Which I also finished and wholeheartedly enjoyed.
Co-op is just that, if you don't communicate you will get shot. If you are following a buddy, and he makes a noise or is seen by the corner of a guards eye, be sure to take him out, otherwise you will get one. Different story for this Co-op as well. So, it is another game all together.
Rated Mature for graphic language to be sure, plus alot of blood and mayhem. I made sure my children were asleep or out of the house.
