This game had absoloutely no action at all. Every time you ever got into a gunfight, you will always loose because the other guy has a huge loud machine gun, and you have a tiny silenced pistol. This game is based on stealth, and there are hidden security cameras EVERYWHERE so you can't see them. You have to keep playing the level, and keep getting spotted until eventually, after about 50,000 tries, get an IDEA of where the damn thing is hidden! And plus, you have these amazingly bright glowing night vision goggles, and even when you hide in shadows, the guy can't see you even though there's freakin headlights attatcked to your helmet! SHEESH! Evey noise you make, quiet or loud, gets a guard's attention, and their moves are not predictable. While you are sneaking up on them, you never know which way they turn, so you have such a slim chance of grabbing him around the neck and interrogating him. The levels are sooooooooo long it's ridiculous, and there are only 2 types of guns in the entire game which is 12 levels, i [think...!!!] Ammo is scarce, you can't take any guards' guns or ammo, you have to find ammunition in secret areas, or just don't use your gun the entire level.
This gamme [is not good]. If you are going to buy it, I would seriously think of reconsidering or wait a few months ..., or simply just rent it or buy it used. If you are willing to waste money, buy this game.

This a Tom Clancy game?-haaaa! Sam Fisher is a nerdbrain gothboy who is like 54 years old and look at his ghay green googles.The game is boring! the guards won`t even look for you they investigate than go back to their posts where as in MGS the guards look for Snake/Raiden or Big Boss for a while and soemtimes even change their patrol posts.MGS OWNZ SC in Gameplay and Story-So what if SC is more realistic thats all SC has on MGS.I have all three mjr systems apart from XB 360 and i reckon that if MGS were a "Xbox ONLY" title-It would blummin` cut up Splinter Cell-XBox fanboys only USE SC to go head2head with MGS not that they thinks its great.I bet if both series were multi-platform MGS would WIN!
XBox has much better games than this piece of "Sh**" like Far Cry,HALO,HL2 and so on.UbiSoft and Clancy should trash SC and make a more reasonable stealth game that entertains me and LOADS of other people and not choke with this realistic krap-Far Cry is realistic BUT FUN at the same time aswith Metal gear and i EVEN LIKE Hitman over Splinter Cell!-i liked SC at first-SCPT was my first stealth game it was fun but when i tried MGS-it just got lame,these are the order of Stealth games which i adore:

This game may have next generation graphics, but the guys arm still goes through the wall. The stealth part is dumb because you can be hiding in pitch dark blackness with your goggles and cell phone alight and a guy right in front of you but he wont notice. you dont shoot anybody and if you do you have to hide the body, i found that really neat, but you never shoot anybody. if you are seen you will die. you will die because the "bad guys" have automatics and you have a dinky little pistol. All-in-all this game is boring

Worst game ever!!!!!!

This has got to be the worst game I have ever played. 1st the graphics are horrible 2nd the missions are relly hard I got stuck on this mission were I am on the boat and there is nowhere to go. You will find yourself doing one mission over and over again till you finally want to take an ax to your ps2. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this game.

"OMG Splinter Cell made XBOX"

If you have the new 'Sony PS2'-model number#SCPH-50001,you are not compatible to play 'Intec'(code cheats),Intec is selling a disc to 'unlock cheats',for the PS2,the catch is if you have a new Sony PS2-model number#SCPH-50001,your not compatible to use their disc's. Take a look on the back of your console,its simple,take a look,if the model number is #SCPH-50001,your not compatible to use their disc's period. Intec web site:(codejunkies.com).....

NOT FOR EVERYONE. I found it very boring, tedious, and unmotivated. Graphics are good, but the game is not fun. I found myself forcing me to play it just because I payed to rent it. TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!! Get Matrix/Kingdom Hearts/NBA Street Vol. 2/or Something else instead.

Not that good.

First off, this is NOT a Tom Clancy as we've come to know Tom Clancys. I remeber Rainbow Six all the way up to Rougue Spear and have deducted that they are stealth based, team oriented, action games. This is a single man, stealth based game that is more linear and trying to hide than anything I've ever seen.

The beuty of Clancy games is the open endedness of them all. This game has one way to complete it, but the small things can change like: how can I take that guy out? But you HAVE TO take that guy out. The story unfolds during gameplay, which is not right in a stealth sction game... story should only be presented in movies or briefings. This is what stealth action games are and thats it, no exceptions. This game breaks it all and tries to tie it together with other stuff.

The only good thing is the presentation, which is awesome. The graphics are smooth and detailed, even know it does slow down at some points, its good. The stealth part is also good, but I didn't like the small selection of weapons; a silent pistol gets boring fast.

The AI is a mix. Sometimes is believable, other times its not. Sometimes you'll be hidden in a shadow and they won't see you when they walk by, but the guy way the hell over there will see you and shoot you, kinda weird. Also, you have a 3 friggin spotlights on your head and no one ever sees them. You also have a landing light on your back that no one cares to check out when they see it bobbing up and down in the shadows.

It saves automatically and at bad times. So the game can be destribed as a huge 50 gallon drum of frustration with pretty, shinny markings on the side. Everyone likes the pretty yellow radiation symbol on the side of the barrel and the glowing green goo is nice, but it will kill you and it will do it with out mercy.

I guess the problem is is that it should be in an arcade and make you pay everytime you die than in your living room costing you [money amount]. You may have fun with this, but I reccamend Hitman 2 over it any day. Needless to say: Big dissapointment.

Eh, I've seen better

Before actually playing it, I was planning on buying it anyways, because of all the good reviews it had gotten, but thank God I played it at a store because it really didn't please me at all. In the stealth-action genre, no game, and I mean no game at all, can even come remotely close to the entertainment that the Metal Gear Solid series provides. The gameplay in Splinter Cell is quite unique, but there are weird things that you have to do like when you pick locks, you may be stumped, sitting there for 30 minutes trying to figure out how to pick the thing.

To say I've seen better does not do my feelings justice. In fact, I think that I'll go dig out my copy of Metal Gear Solid (the first one!)
