Summary: WOW! Amazing Game! But be sure to save a lot!
Review: Woof! My net friends and many people told me that Splinter Cell is great, but the truth is yes!It's worth buying it. The game was in great style. The texture, object and the background is so cool and realistic. The fire and the smoke looks like the real one! WOW! Super! Also, Sam Fisher have so many skills to use, that you've to spin your brain and solve the mystery and make a way to go. lol. However, the cons are the saving system is bad, it's no delete on old save.Futhermore, you have to save so often. If you expose yourself in front of enemy or can't make a one-shot kill, you'be fired. 4 shot and you'll be dead. So make sure you save a lot. This may probably slow down the time for playing this game. What a pity. But it's so real. You would be killed if you wear a bulletproof shirt and shot by 4 bullet. Overall. The game's nice. There's just some small flaw and the game will be perfect. I recommend you to buy this game and play it. It's so cool and so freshy that you've to use your IQ and EQ. I really want to give it 4.5 stars. But the game should get the 5 stars. The game's great.

Summary: Another Clancy Classic
Review: From its fluid controls to its intersting story line you will be loving this game from start to finish if... You like stealth games. If you want to run arround shooting mindlessly (ala Halo) you will probably find this game frustrating. There are plenty of satisfying moments when you get to shoot people in the head, but other missions force you to refrain from killing. This game has great graphics, great level design, and best of all is fun to play. The only problem i can find with it is that if you don't hide a body well or some such mistake it can set an alarm off later on in the mission (presumabley when the body is found). The hard part is knowing why the alarm is sounding and you are failing the mission. That is a minor flaw though, and can be avoided by cleaning up your messes.

Summary: this game rules
Review: take it from me...
This is one of the best games I have ever played in my life. Period. This is one of those games that is just plain fun. Many games, like James Bond, is very unrealilistic because you don't sneak around that much, you kill everyone you see and you can carry unlimited weapons. Tom Clancey is a stickler for reality so he and Ubi Soft have made one kick but game.

Summary: Tom Clancy Enters the Third-Person Action/Stealth Genre
Review: If you played Tom Clancy's previous games, you'll know that most of them were first-person tactical shooters. The Tom Clancy name takes a different approach with Splinter Cell and allows you to play a game heavier on story and arcade action. If you ever played titles such as Hitman or Metal Gear Solid, you already know exactly how the game works. If that's the type of game you enjoy, I definitely recommend you pick up Splinter Cell because it's one of the best games in that particular genre. I've never really been a big fan of those types of games so I found the game average but I'm in the minority as a lot of gamers enjoy these titles. If you're the type of gamer that usually only enjoys fast-paced action games, you probably won't enjoy Splinter Cell as much as others. This game requires stealth and slow methodical operations instead of fast hand-eye coordination. I also didn't enjoy the story that much but I can see why many people would. If you love Tom Clancy novels, in particular the ones with John Kelly, the ex-special operations soldier turned into a CIA operative, this game is for you. For me, Splinter Cell was an average game, but that's just my two cents, many people love this game and it was so popular, the designers are already working on a sequel. This game was released on all gaming platforms and that might be one reason why I don't enjoy it as much. The controls and inteface seems more suited for a console gamepad and anytime you create a game with weapons and soldiers on the PC, you have to compete with all the great first-person shooters on the market. It also lacks any type of online options. For games like these that have quality stand-alone (not online) stories and missions but no online multiplayer or significant mod community, I usually wait until the price drops because they don't last as long as other titles, but only you know what type of gamer you are and what price is acceptable for you.

Summary: Awesome PC Demo Hampered by Lack of QA
Review: I've been playing through the PC Demo again and again for the past two days and I have to say that I am amazed. This is the closest you can get to a modern day Thief: The Dark Project. Amazing graphics coupled with great interactive environments make for one of the most immersive gameworlds since, well Thief: TDP. If your familiar with Thief, the game plays very similiarly, that is extremely well. If you arn't familiar with Looking Glass Studios masterpiece, consider playing a first person sneaker as opposed to shooter. The object is to remain unseen while you go about your objectives. Only bring force into the equation when absolutely necessary as getting into combat typically involves getting killed. What Splinter Cell brings to the Thief formula is modern world equipment, astounding graphics and some acrobatics on the part of the protagonist, Sam Fisher. Praise aside the demo did have a myriad of technical issues on my Win98, Athlon XP, Geforce 4 TI system. One, it took me at least half an hour of messing around in the .ini file in order to get the game to run. It took me another day in order to get the .ini settings just right so that I wouldn't have to mess around for another half-hour each time I play. Second, the jaggies are really pronounced in Splinter Cell, especially when in Night Vision mode. Hopefully you have a video card capable of anti-aliasing because the jaggies can be quite distracting. Third, numerous graphical bugs plagued the demo. The glow around light sources was frequently visible through walls and Fisher himself, in addition I frequently spotted some texture corruption. In the end though these technical issues didn't ruin the experience but be forwarned. All in all, I highly recommend Splinter Cell, and Thief: TDP for that matter, to anyone getting tired of the Quake formula for action games. If Ubi Soft and Red Storm can iron out the technical issues the 2003 year for PC games will definately open with a big bang.

Summary: Marvellous style
Review: This game is awesome. I like the best feature of stealth which is first time ever introduced in any game. Well it's hard too, but it's action and style deserves the qualities that are missing. When I played for the first time I found hard but realastic too. The agency NSA is the best agency im serious. Sam Fisher is a wonder person working for NSA. I like that he can do things like stick to wall and move, split jump, doing zip lines and more. ... But this game is good. Shooting cameras or lights to pass cameras, Hiding in dark, killing an enemy silently and hiding in the dark, low bullets , WHOAHHHH!!!!!, that's cool.

Summary: Could have been a classic
Review: After hearing much about the Game Splinter Cell I felt obliged to buy it after playing through the entire game here's my opinion on the game. The game contains only nine levels plus training, at first I thought the game was going to be extremely short but after playing it I realized each level was around two or even three levels in a normal game. It came on three CD's so that should have been a clue to. (88%) The graphics in this game put all third person video and computer games to shame. Not just the crispness and the sharpness of the graphics but also their attention to details. If you stand next to a chain linked fence your shadow is disrupted by the chains, something I never seen the programmers take time to do. In thermal vision if you kill someone you will see their body heat drain from their body. If you walk in some mud then into a building you will see footprints with the tiny details that you would expect to see in real life. (97%) The sound effects are quite necessary to the game being based on stealth. You will learn to listen for the buzz of the camera, the mechanical sound of a gun turret, the footsteps of an approaching enemy, and the hum of a computer. All these have a distinct sound and let you identify the situation of the next room before even entering. Since this is based on stealth you will not hear any music unless your cover is blown, when the music is playing thought it's quite enjoyable. (90%) -Game Play-
I will break this into three sections 'Moves' 'Weapons and Gadgets' and 'Level Design' The game features so many different moves that I have isolated this segment. The game features few keys meaning that most moves are key combinations, easier to remember but harder to perform. You can crouch, roll, climb, jump, walk, and run like in most other games but here's a list of new ones: use people as human shields, interrogate, force cooperation, grab, move unconscious or dead bodies, split wall jump (use a wall as extra leverage for your jump), split jump (in a narrow hall way you can do a split wall jump than extend your legs before you hit the ground and then knock out people from above), rappel (tie a rope around a chimney or some sticking out object and climb down the side of the building with rope), back to wall (lowers your visibility), and quiet landing. These additional moves make the game more enjoyable but the split wall jump is really hard to control the direction of your jump, making it frustrating at times. (90%) The weapons are not only unique but they also aide the stealth and spy aspect of the game. You have an SC Pistol that fires a 5.75 mm round that is fully flash suppressed and silenced, in some missions you will be equipped with a laser microphone that attaches to your pistol, this allows you to hear and record your enemy's conversation (two missions this will be required for you to continue on to the next mission). You get an M.A.W.S which stands for a Modular Assault Weapon System, this is your basic all purpose rifle. Using regular bullets (5.65 mm) the weapon can interchange from a sniper rifle (it's silenced and also equipped with a scope) a rifle (it can change rate of fire from single shot (more accurate) to fully automatic) and finally to an assault rifle. This is just the beginning the rifle can also shoot a zero projection round (airfoil ring) which incapacities rather than kills (certain missions call for zero fatalities), a sticky shocker which sticks on the enemy and shocks (knocks out), a gas grenade that emits smoke (if the enemy remains stationary and within vicinity it will knock them out), a sticky camera when fired allows you to zoom in and out plus has thermal and night vision modes (thermal detects heat while night vision aids you in the dark) this feature is good for scouting out a corner, and a diversion camera which emits a noise to draw the enemy near and releases a gas that will knock them out (you cannot zoom in and out or change vision modes with the diversion camera). Two vision modes (Thermal and night) allow you to move through low visibility conditions. An optic cable (Night vision mode only) allows you to see under doors. A frag grenade and a wall mine allow you to blow away a bunch people. A camera jammer jams the camera electromagnetic frequencies allowing you to go undetected. Two types of flares (chemical, and standard) allow you to distract your enemies. Notice how there are not a lot of guns especially loud machine guns, that's because this games based on stealth and that's also incorporated in the weapon selection. (96%) The level design when you get past the graphics, the moves, the weapons, and the stealth feature is mediocre at best. The game play is very mediocre due to the linear game play; you cannot help but go in the right direction. If there's a door that they want you to access after you accomplished another task, the door will come up as 'jammed' which can be neither picked, nor opened. The story line is quite good with it's natural twists and kept you going throughout the mission. Though the linear game play was fine while playing it the first time it totally decreased the replay value since there is only one way to complete the missions. This game could have been one of the best to be ever released in gaming worlds but the linearity decreases it to just a good/excellent game. (80%) Total for game play= (89%) Game play (two weights) = (89%) Graphics (single weight) = (97%)
Sound and Music (single weight) = (90%)
Length (single weight) = (88%) Total = A- (90%) Synopsis-
Could have been legendary if not for the linear style game play.
