I found the levels to be some of the best tom clancy stuff yet. I mean, rainbow six has some intricate ones, but not like this. The levels are all beautiful.
The lighting is the best thing. Real time shadows and lights make the game seem incredibly real. The stealth is awesome, because it is new. Like there aren't many stealth games, but stealth games are great.
The stealth techniques are vast. I mean, u don't need half of them, but they are fun to use. You can also hold a guy and like shoot another guy, which is kinda like metal gear solid 2 except with the shooting. I just enjoyed sneakin though, which is always fun.
The problems? When you are in the dark, those 3 dots for night vision are always glowing, and for some reason the badguys don't see the dots. I don't know how the creators missed this, but it was pretty stupid of them. Also, the gun selection is extremely small. 2 guns basically, some different bullets for the main machine big gun thingy yea yo. But all in all, it doesn't make the game bad.
In fact, the game is even more realistic. I love how when in rainbow six, any weapons you use are actually on your body. If you are holding your shotgun, your pistol is actually in its holster, and so forth. This game does that too, and does a great job of making the spy world seem easy.

Splinter Cell is the best game ever for gamecube because.....
1. The Graphics are awsome
2. Realife sounds includeing shots,effects and conversations
3. Good cut secnes (best one is the end of the klaitex building)
4. Only two guns to use but one has great attachments like sticky shocker, sticky camera, diverson camera, smoke grenade and ring airfoil round on the gun you get in the CIA mission
5. Great gadgets like Lock pick, Optic cable, Camera jammer and the Micro listener.
6. three visons like Regluar vison, Night vison, Heat vison.
7. Very easy to become invisable by the darkness and night.
8. And finally awsome martial-art stealth moves (my fav is the spilt jump = where you jump up between two walls and stay up there by your legs pushing against the walls. That is why this game is the best and please make your son or daughter happy by buying it for them :)
Ubi Soft takes gaming to a new level

An excellent game crated by Ubi Soft, splinter cell combines Bond-style gadgets with realistic gameplay for a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Gameplay- smooth gameplay allows you to easily perform standard motions, (i.e. jumping, crouching, shooting) while allowing you to master more complex functions easily, like sneaking across broken glass quietly, or rolling past an enemy guard undetected.
Graphics- some of the best graphics ever on gamecube, though vision while using infrared goggles is a bit blurry. Also, arguably the best part of the game, you can "hide" in shadows even if you are less tan five feet of a person.
Sound- Outstanding! The makers at Ubi Soft capture everything from guards talking to dogs barking to boards creaking. Sam Fisher is funny at times, while guards say a variety of things, not just monotonic one-liners.
Difficulty- NOT A GAME FOR BEGINNERS! Severely difficult. At some points you may get frustrated with the game, and more times than one you have to use the guess and check method. Don't worry, though, there is more than one route you can take to beat a level.
Length- Very lengthy so you'll be sure not to have beaten it for quite some time.
*A few notes*
For those who do not like games with bad language, there IS swearing, but nothing worse than the d-word.
VERY Suspenseful- not for the faint of heart
Although there is no blood, there ARE people that die and there is talk of several U.S. soldiers getting executed
No multiplayer or co-op mode.
Overall- a great game, definitly worth buying. (Don't rent, you won't have time to beat it.)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is great. I am totally addicted to it. In how many games do you get to sneek up behind people and put them in a chokehold with a gun to their head and force them to do things that you want them to do? How many games are so challenging that if you get heard walking around, you get shot?
Hard, But Fun

This game is awesome! (even though i am still on the 3rd level.) I bought this game and was a little frusterated in the start because i was making stupid mistakes. In this game you really have to look around very closely and use your gun as a last resort, because they provide limited ammo throughout the level. I am a fan of tradition rainbow6 games and i thought this game was totally different, but still fun. it brings a whole new concept into the tom clancy world...

This must be one of the best games ever. You have the ability to sneak into shadows and even to use people as human shields. I really liked this game and got hooked on istantly. Its not to hard but at the same time challenging.
Its must be the best game ever until Splinter Cell 2 comes out. Theres so many things you can do. You can have Heat vision and night vision. You have lots of cool gadgets like the fiber optic cable the explosive lock pick and so on. When you get the big gun you can equip it with sticky shockers or sticky camers and even airfoil rings used to nock out people. This is a great game if you enjoy long suspenful (sometimes boring) games this one is yours.

O.k how do I get started. oh yeah. This game is a very good spionage game. It realy puts you in the Tom Clancy world, like in the books Tom Clancy puts you in a world of spionage, war and suspence. The game will keep you guessing until you finish it.
So in an overal I rate it like this:
Graphics:10outof10. Awesome graphics realy cool and realistic
Sound.9outof10. Can't say I love videogame sounds that much but I can make an exeption.
Gameplay. Wicked awesome.
Parent thought. A very O.K game for teens but certianly not for 6 year olds........ to violent
raccoon thought. Kicks serious hiney.
Finally my thoughts.

Boy i tell you don't listen that kid who gave this game a one star this game is great the only bad thing is there's no blood it would be cool if their was blood like in mgs2 and the graphics aren't as good as mgs2 but boy i rarly spend over an hour playing games but this i spent about 2 hours one while renting it and now gamecube owners and ps2 owners can enjoy this wonderful game. Rent it first because i had for three days so far and i'm almost halfway through the game and i plan to beat it.
