Splinter Cell - Takes "tactical espionage" to new extremes

byRock_On Jan 23, 2003
85 Helpfuls 86 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros graphics, sound, gameplay
Cons some frustrating missions
Recommended it? Yes

Ever since Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation was released, most people considered it the greatest stealth game ever. I can't really take part in saying that because I've only played a 3 minute demo of MGS. Then Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty came out in November 2001, but the game didn't... Read full review »

Splinter Cell - Shatters Box

Pros Graphics, gameplay, camera, audio
Cons learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

I have to admit, Ubi Soft has won me over as a fanboy ever since the creation of the Rainbow Six series. Being a fan of Tom Clancy as well as quality FPS titles; the two fit hand-in-hand. When I thought the genre just couldn't get any better, Ghost Recon was released and ended up being my "Game of... Read full review »

Pros use of shadows and gadgets to complete missions, graphics
Cons some parts are tough
Recommended it? Yes

In Splinter Cell (SC), you assume the role of Sam Fisher. He works for this top-secret agency that combats terrorism around the world and here in the states. Anyway, there's some funny business going on in Eastern Europe, Georgia to be exact. Seems a couple agents have gone missing and haven't kept... Read full review »

Pros You are Sam Fisher, super-spy
Cons You are Sam Fisher, George Clooney lookalike
Recommended it? Yes

No question, in this day and age, it's very difficult to create a brand new game franchise, given the large amount of sequels that flood the market year after year. Somehow, however, the Xbox has managed to deliver 2 all-new franchises that have been huge sellers for the console – the 1st of course... Read full review »

Cons Limited replay value, Camera Angles (Sometimes)

The epitome of what a stealth game should be

bysackula Feb 8, 2003
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Simply amazing graphics, sound, and gameplay
Cons Limited replay value and sometimes the difficulty
Recommended it? Yes

I'm going to cut right to the chase on this game.. I have to say that this game has displaced Metal Gear Solid 2 and has taken the throne for a stealthy title. Here's what I thought of the game:

Graphics-The XBox truly shines here. This game was constructed around the Unreal engine and it... Read full review »

Love it or hate it. I hate it.

bystingrayweb Dec 6, 2002
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Incredible lighting effects and excellent sound.
Cons Far too frustrating. Boring, tedious and scripted. Inconsistent environment and AI.
Recommended it? No

I know Splinter is receiving rave reviews and has been highly anticipated, but unfortunately, I was persuaded into pre-ordering by all the hype. I should have known better.

And to get this out of the way - no - I'm not a PS/2 fanboy or anything of the sort. I love the XBox (it's the only... Read full review »

Hardcore stealth, strangely unintuitive linear gameplay

bykfgecko Feb 18, 2003
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Hardcore stealth, good lighting effects, clean design
Cons Linear gameplay that doesn't always make intuitive sense, not enough save points
Recommended it? Yes

Judging from all the hype, I had thought that a console-first game had finally reached a new level of sophistication. It sort of does, and sort of doesn't. Splinter Cell is a good game, and deep into the world of stealth games where hiding and no confrontations are the point of the game. But it... Read full review »

Its 2003 and as the USA's domestic security continues to be threatened by international terrorism the National Security Agency (NSA) has seen fit to introduce a new wave of intelligence gathering under the banner 'Third Echelon'.
