If you can get it cheap enough, yes. I'd not pay more than $5 for it. Incidentally, I'm selling my Xbox version (not 360...that sold long ago). That should say something since I've saved every game from before Double Agent and refuse to buy Conviction unless I happen to see it in the $5 bargain bin and have nothing better to do with my time.
It was a major disappointment after Chaos Theory...which arguably has been the best game they made in the series.
That the Xbox and 360 versions of the game were not even remotely similar really was a bad move. Yeah, different details in the missions for the sake of the 360 having better hardware, but the maps, objectives, etc. should have been identical across platforms.
I was on a Splinter Cell forum. It finally shut down before Conviction came out, and these were dedicated fanbois for the series. The affection for Conviction was pretty much zero.
Ubisoft screwed the pooch in the direction they took the series. They took a top notch stealth game and turned it into a largely FPS-type of action game...just like how many others out there.
