the framerate is kinda slow but thats the only bad thing. this one is better than the console version.

Choppy framerate and difficult controls

This game sounds good on the box and the graphics look decent in pictures, but the real game is far from it. The framerate is super choppy, to the point that its not even fun. Also, the controls require that you use all the DS buttons, plus the screen. So you have to adjust things with the stylus, while you move with the D-pad and also press the right-hand buttons! I dont know how the developers could release this game that is barely a beta version. If you are into 3D shooters, check out Goldeneye.

I'm not a kid...

im just to lazy to register. First of all, disregard everything that first guy said, i didnt notice any choppy framerates. the game is amazing, every level takes at least 1/2 an hour to beat, and you get very rapped up in the action. the graphics are amazing, except the blood looks like crap for some reason. it is not hard to control, there is just more freedom of gameplay, and therefor more complex controls than Goldeneye DS. Easily the best game on DS so far, much longer and more fun than Goldeneye DS (which i loved). By it without hesitation

Just Not Fun

Well, it tried. With TCSC being so great on the consol, you think it would be on a handheld. This game just doesn't cut it.

First off, the graphics. The graphics are very, very cheap looking. At times, they look all right, especially the characters, but if you take a look at the enviroments and all, they are just bland and not exciting. 2.5/5

Next, the sound. It's a SplinterCell game, so any sound should sound good, because there isn't much of it. The sound in this game is just as cheap as the graphics, except worse. You might as well play on mute. 1.5/5

Now, controls. The controls are as easy as could be, which isn't fun. I mean this is not a fun game to play on the road for many reasons. It's controls are a bit sensitive, and sometimes non-responsive at times so if you are in a car, and hit a bump, it may cost you the level. 2/5

And finally, the fun. This game is as easy as this: not fun. Consol versions are similar to this in the way they TRY to paly, but consol versions have: better graphics, better sound, better control.. better everything. This game also has problems with its 'loading times'. You may be in the middle of a level and turn a corner, and randomly, the cartridge will freeze temporarily, then resume. The pauses average about 6 seconds or so, and they happen semi-often, which is not cool; especially for a cartridge. 1.5/5

What you should do is stay away from this. I rented this because I had the game pass, and i took it back as quick as it took be to get in and out of the store pretty much. There are some better titles on the DS, and the better shooter is Goldeneye Rogue Agent, even though that game is not too great either, but it IS better.

not a kid just lazy

everybody complains mainly of the graphics because their standards are to high, well graphics don't make a game quality makes a game. I'll admit that the graphics could do better and the framerate needs more work on but they got lighting effects right and you still get all the gadgets and extra game modes the console had. the sound does get repetetive so since they have the sound bar I just play it on mute (no big deal). I'd give it 7 out of 10 but since they only have 5 stars I'd give it a 3 so rent it see if you like it if you don't don't buy it. that is all I have to say.

Best Graphics for DS that I've seen so far ...

I'm going to have to disagree with all the other people who made negative comments. I've had my DS for a few months now and haven't run into a single game that had decent graphic. Every game I looked at was the typical Nintendo graphics but when I came across this Splinter Cell the graphics are just like the one you would play on a Xbox. Umm .. there is one thing I agree on and that is the maps are a little confusing and you'll end up walking in circles in some areas due to low lighting but I really liked this game and my step-son who loves CounterStrike, Halo, and SplinterCell won't let go of my DS. He agrees with me that this is the best game ever on DS.

Very well done

This game is one of the best in my collection. Considering the platform that it's for, the grapics and details are very sophisticated. With so many options open to you during the game, you can find serveral different ways to complete a single goal. You can choose to outright knock a gaurd out with a ring airfoil, or sneak up behind him and "make him smile ear to ear" or be really sneaky and lurk through the shadows without the gaurd even noticing your presence.

You also have a rather extensive arsenal. You can choose three different types of grenades, a pistol, and rifle with several types of ammo such as a "ring airfoil," "sticky cam," "sticky shocker," or just plain bullets. Once you get farther in the game you find that you have to conserve all the ammo you can find. This makes the game more challenging and interesting. You then have to decide on things such as whether to risk slinking around in the shadows with a gaurd near by, or to manuver your way behind him and send him off to dream land.

Though it can get hard and repetitive in some places, you'll eventually figure out the key to every level. Once you've gotten through all of the levels, you can then use a cheat provided in the game, to have unlimited equipment. This makes the hardest levels seem like a breeze. Caos Theory also as a story line you can actually follow, and the in game short movies have good graphics and are a nice reprieve every once and a while.

I got this a while ago and am still finding different hiding places and ways to avoid gaurds. I will say that this game maybe isnt the best for those without patience, just like your grandmother told you, "patience is virtue." Have fun!

This is an excellent game

In general i prefer Metal Gear Solid over the Splinter Cell games-But Splinter Cell 3:Chaos Theory on the NDS is better than Metal Gear AC!D on PSP-Because i HATE card based action-i`d like AC!D in a CARD GAME but not on a VIDEO GAME!
I have both a N-DS and PSP-But would NEVER buy MGA or MGA2,I do look forwards to the PSP "Metal Gear Solid" game though.
