Will not work with Vista, because the disk protection will not load into Vista. Works ok in XP and is somewhat fun.

Getting better

The splinter cell series on the whole has gotten a lot better with each installment. It manages to bring a little of the stealth entertainment value. But, and this is a big one, It is no Thief. Thief TMA and DS were the ultimate stealth action games. The splinter cell series has a long way to go to providing the immersive experience that haunts you for weeks afterward like thief. For those who don't believe me, get a copy of the latest (thief 3) and try the cradle level. There has been no stealth level made that will get under your skin like this.

So although I applaud splinter cell for trying to further what has quickly become my favorite genre (stealth/action) they need to keep working on it.

FPS at the next level

I had read the reviews here and decided to purchase the game. I think the part that hooked me was a review that said "Unlike other games, you don't kill everybody in sight. You single out your target and disable the rest." I took it to heart. Although the game allows you to kill various guards and bad guys, the game is meant to be played as a solo operative that gets in quietly, accomplishes his mission, and leaves without anybody knowing he was there. The game seems to based on the "Thief" engine, a game I loved. The story line is fun, an unkown group has custody of "Mass Kernels" a computer algorithym that allows somebody to bypass American Warship Weapon systems and force North Korean Weapons systmes to fire. This escalates the world towards world war III. There's a littel detective work, and I love the "Interogate" function.
The down side, I wish you could interact with your environment more, it'd have been nice to have more say in your load out, and I would have prefered your standard training level as opposed to the educational video you have to watch to learn the moves.
A great game overall I highly recommend it.

gives you repair experience

I couldn't find any specs on this product about if it would run on Vista before purchasing it, but for the price, it was worth a try. After installing, my pc crashed. I had to do a restore to get everything back to normal. I'll be willing to bet it's the protection software that caused the problem. Some PC's w/Vista will take it, some won't. I might have been able to eventually make it work but didn't want to mess with it. Gave it to my friend who uses XP, it worked perfect. I couldn't give it a rating only because I couldn't run it. Not upset tho.
