Basically, I really got into the earlier Splinter Cell games. I played the original, Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, and Double Agent on Xbox and Essentials on PSP. My favorite was definitely Chaos Theory, followed by Double Agent.

After that I kinda fell off. I've been thinking I might want to go ahead and play the rest of them but I wanted to get some thoughts on how people feel about those and whether they'd be worth it. The games I'd be looking at playing are:

  • The seventh gen version of Double Agent (which as I understand is almost a totally different game than the sixth gen version)
  • Conviction
  • Blacklist


Thanks!

So it sounds like I should play Blacklist if nothing else.

7th gen Double Agent is interesting, but probably doesn't hold up very well.
Conviction is actually alright for what it is, just not good at being Splinter Cell.
Blacklist is arguably the 2nd best game after Chaos Theory.

Blacklist is ok but it's not really a stealth game.

It does have a pretty fun survival mode where you try to survive against waves of enemy soldiers.

Blacklist absolutely can be a pure stealth game though?

Conviction is a great game, but if you're looking for traditional Splinter Cell then it's not the game to play.

But I really hate how it got knocked as a bad game. It's really good, totally unique in form and presentation, and the entire co-op campaign has more care put into it than it needed. The product was full of passion.

If it's a game that can be played either action or stealth that works for me. Chaos Theory was kind of the same way. Most levels you could say to hell with stealth and still get through. You just had to be stealthy if you wanted a good rating at the end of the level.
