The game is entertaining, all the rest around it is just crap ...

In this review we must, in my opinion quite strongly differ between the game itself and the copy protection measures, etc.
The first parts of the Splinter Cell series Conviction has to do is severely crippled, it's not a shooter in which you simply starts running and niederwalzt thing that comes all the way, but it is also clearly not as creeping-heavy as to Begin Series. For me personally, but this is not so dramatic. Although I like the first part and it was great level almost only to solve through crawl, so I get the latest Sam much more realistic in Conviction. He is a marked man, which nothing can stop.
This game is not a classic Splinter Cell more, this makes it in my opinion, but never bad game. Nevertheless, it is fun, especially when you value on a good production that clearly aimed at adults.

However, the very very big problem is the unreasonable copy protection measures that must be to go through an honest buyer and then lead to many complications.
I find it ridiculous to advance increasingly drastic bars that are still bypassed quickly. I'm not one who finds it a lump sum so terrible, having to log on to a platform, in order to play a game (clearly it is a step that really kind is unnecessary and therefore annoying, but it's not dramatic). What's frustrating when then for example as the servers of Ubisoft adopt in the current Steam Summer Sale up again and you can not take advantage of a commodity for which you have paid. Then one gets not even a reasonable error message but only the note "Username and / or password is incorrect", which is definitely not true. Savegames are not transferred correctly from Ubisoft server, you have your pre-activated weapons and upgrades are no longer available, or the game would continue to send a Level 3 back into the game and does not realize that you have this already completed.
All these are reasons for me that much disgraceful learning the game fun, so I makes me a title to be fun, and unnerved constituting first not play. And this feeling does not meet this really good and entertaining game.
