While my own immediate kneejerk reaction was to berate Ubisoft for changing the formula in Conviction, the gameplay decisions only add to the complexity of the character. Sam is now focused completely on vengeance he has to face his mounting personal losses, which all come as a direct result of his life as a dedicated military man, and the fact that you no longer hide bodies or worry about being seen makes sense within this context. It's a complete shift for a character whose entire career was predicated on following orders. While he was often compared to Metal Gear Solid's Snake, in Conviction, the more apt comparison is to Liam Neeson's character in the film Taken or 24's Jack Bauer. Before, Sam's missions were solely about getting the job done he had no stake in the outcome other than fulfilling his duty and maintaining "national security." But in Conviction, Sam is motivated by something far more personal, and his actions are tinged with an appropriate sense of recklessness and desperation. It just wouldn't make sense for a man this pissed off to act as slowly and mechanically as he has in the past. This is where the gameplay decisions made by Ubisoft completely work in tandem with the game's storyline. He's broken by grief and blinded by rage as cliched as it may sound, this time, it really is personal. While fans of the franchise will no doubt miss the methodical, almost robotic superspy of old, this incarnation of Sam Fisher is much more complex. The general theme of Conviction is absolute anger. Upon learning that his daughter's "accidental" death was actually a calculated personal attack, Sam - voiced again by actor Michael Ironside - decides to step out from the shadows to uncover the truth. Hunted by Third Echelon, the organization that used to sign his checks, Sam retires from spy games and disappears. Irving Lambert, and dealing with the sudden death of his daughter Sarah. When last we saw Sam he was running for his life, on the lam for the murder of his friend and colleague Col. This might sound like the worst idea possible but it's the only real way Ubisoft Montreal could have approached Sam Fisher's latest journey. The Splinter Cell fundamentals remain but the idiosyncrasies of the franchise (hacking and unlocking mini-games, moving downed enemies, and night-vision goggles) have all been thrown away. While Ubisoft claimed it halted production on a previous version of the game to bring Sam back to basics, the "new" version of Conviction is still quite a departure for the series.
