The demo for Ubisoft's long-awaited Splinter Cell: Conviction has hit Xbox LIVE Marketplace today. It'll clocks in at a little over 1 gig, and for many this will be the first time they get their hands on this fresh take on the series.
So if you have an Xbox 360 and an Xbox LIVE Gold account, you should be downloading this now. Then let us know -- what do you think? Did it live up to expectations, and was the extra development time Ubisoft took with the title put to good use?
The game is out on April 13 for Xbox 360 and PC. That's right, the PC... no, there's no demo coming for the PC. Sorry folks.

You are my hero!
Hope it isn't representative of the final product.
Please see the folly of your ways soon, Ubisoft. I want to play your games.
If they were smart, they'd team up with Valve and Steam, so that piracy of their games becomes a lot harder. the small amount of money they would lose in deal, is nothing compared to the amount they're currently losing, pissing off the entire PC world with their DRM bullshit.

The control scheme works well once you get used to it. I too kept trying to press X to reload, Capt. Hilarious, and clicking the left analog stick to crouch. Curse you R6: Vegas muscle memory! Kinda wish right bumper used gadgets, clicking left stick crouched, and X reloaded.
Don't you ever just wish devs would let us re-map the controls however we want 'em? I don't understand why that isn't just SOP by now. :(
I hear ya. I don't understand why I can't choose my button layout. In some cases like Black, they didn't have a look sensitivity option because it was somehow tied into the way the physics system in the game operated. But that is obviously a lot different than letting me choose which button makes my character crouch.
OFFICIALLY DO WANT.
