Everyone and anyone, do not not rent or bye the this game. It may sound good, look good, bot it is not. If you have anything that at all resembles intelligence, you eill not get this game. The sound is terrible, weapons are unrealistic, and it is just plain boring.

Splinter Cell - Hard, Fun, But Not Great

Splinter Cell looked like an enhanced Metal Gear Solid for me, before I've played it... And that's not quite it..
You're Sam Fisher, hired for the CIA. You can kill, spy, do whatever you want, but if you get caught, the American Government will deny your existence.
- Graphics: The shadows are pretty good, the scenaries are nice too, the visors look like Metroid Prime's, but the graphics cannot be compared to Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil and Metroid Prime for the GameCube. But it's not bad, definetly...
- Sound: The voice acting is OK, the sound overall isn't the best ever, but it's not bad. You just don't notice that... But it makes you nervous, happy or whatever that's up to that situation...
- Fun: The game is fun because you have to be very stealthy, throw objects to make guards look confused.. It's like Metal Gear Solid, but with different elements of stealth.
- Educative: You kill terrorists, right? You're working for a good cause... If you kill any civilians, the missions are over.
Overall, it's cool, but not a great game. Just rent it, unless you really like games like Metal Gear Solid. The replay value isn't that great because once you beat it there aren't so much extras.... And the game is really hard too...

Now, If you are the kind of James Bond shoot'em and get shot a thousand times and barely loose health, and those are the only kind of games you have,and ever will have in you collection. Then I suggest you rent before you buy. Anyways, I give this game fives stars for a whole...load of resons but I'll keep it nice and simple for you. 1: The replay value is very good, I prefer hard because it is more realistic. Speaking of realisum, This game is infact one of the most realistic games I've ever played, for example: you have alternate methods of taking care of youre enimies than just shooting them in the head. you can shoot a device called a sticky shocker, wich upon impact releases electricity, if you shot that in a puddel of water you can take down 1,2,3 birds with one sticky shocker,"hypothetically speaking" Reason 2: The split jump. if you are in a tall, narrow hall you can jump on the wall, thrust both legs to either side and suspend youreself and get a good drop on enimies. Resaon 3: Grafics. I would give the grafics a
4-5, the people look smooth and have clear expressions. But Whait! I'd also like to clear something up, On the label where it says Teen, it says: Blood Gore & Violence, well, thats a bunch a bull. For all you poor kids out there whos mothers would not let you have such a horrific game: No worries mother, its just pure clean fun. Not that I had that trouble, that was just for poor E rated kids. That sums it up, now go play some Splinter Cell.

One of my all time favorites!

I received this game as a free gift for buying the Prince of Persia. I ended up enjoying Splinter Cell much more than the $50 game I payed for. The graphics are well done and the game play is excellent.

You are Sam Fisher, an under cover agent who leaves no trace of his existence. You carry two armed weapons, a SC Pistol and the SC-20K M.A.W.S. The SC-20K will be used in the later missions of the game. You have a 3rd person view and can interact with all of your surroundings. You hide to existing shadows or create your own (shoot out the lights) and take out your opponets one by one in a stealth fashion.

The graphics could improve slightly. The shadows seem very light even though your stealth gauge tells you are nearly invisible to enemy eyes. The AI intelligence is limited also. They may walk right past you in the dark even though they are looking right at you. They also give up their search for you after 30 seconds to a minute if they can't find you, even though one of their comrades was just shot in the head.

I used to hate stealth games because they were very frustrating and you had no defense to enemies, but Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell brings a whole new light to working undercover.

I suggest to play the game in hard mode, even for your first try, because the game is relatively easy in the other level of difficulty, normal. I was hooked after 20 minutes of playing the game and have no intent on trading the game in.

very good game

This game is really good.
the graphics are good and the stealth implementation is great.
i think most of the people who dont like this game were looking for action and more killing people.
But if u want stealth then this game is really great.

I totally love this game the graphics are awesome its challenging
and its way better then James Bond 007 its got awesome gagets like stealth action grapple hook tons of guns and a scope. As I said it is challenging I am stuck on this helecopter level were you have to shoot down a helecopter its really cool tons of people come in and you have to try and shoot them then you ahve to shoot down this helecopeter so... If your going to get James Bond think again Get Splinter Cell

Amazing

This is the kind of game you dream about!! sneaking into the most heavily gaurded places in the world, completly fool hundreds of guys, this game is amazing. Theres no more just walking around amlisly firing machine guns. Instead of opening doors you can hide your camera under it to see if anyones in there. Instead of just blowing some guy away and get shot in the process, you can grab onto the ceiling then drop down and put him in a choke hold. You can really put your guy in the exact posision you want him. Theres so many great things in this game. heat vision goggles, sniper rifles, string cameras, toxic darts, whatever you could imagine. Don't hesitate to get this game, you wont be dissapointed.

One of the best games I ever played!

Splinter Cell is awesome! It has great graphics, kick-butt stealth tactics, and blow your-mind-off weapons! You can move in the shadows so no one can see you, you can pick up bodies, you can hack into computers, and use lethal or non-lethal force!
If you like strategy and/or stealth games, you'll love this! If you like an all out war, do not get this game! The story line is great but it could be longer. Still, the leves are long so it will keep you busy! There is a hard mode and normal mode. I suggest playing in hard mode. Normal mode is easy. Now, a message to all people who think that all shooters have to be 1st person:Splinter Cell is better in 3rd person! After you beat this on normal and hard mode, get Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow!
