Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell®

I suppose the game was a novelty back when it came out (I remember a colleague from work playing it and recommending heavily). But it aged badly. The most frustrating thing is that it's way too lineral both in terms of general plot and map navigation as well as being for most of the time very short on choices how to tackle obstacles. And the game can't make up its mind - for example, some lights you can shoot and some you can't. And of course you don't know which are which beforehand. It can be worth to give it a try if you got it on some deep sale and just want to tick it off of your list. Otherwise - don't bother.

One of the best spy game series on the market. Extremely addicting.

Oil refinery, Start of the level. climb ladder, get stuck on wooden platform. It's unfortunate that I cant play this great game any further.

very good game one of the best splinter cell games unlike conviction and person below metal gear invented stealth genre

....I feel like the console port are just much better, i played this back at my original big fat Playstation 2, it was AMAZING! I'm a huge stealth-game fan ever since i picked up Metal Gear Solid for the original PS1, and im not trying to make a consoles VS PC flamewar or anything, but some games are just made for certain systems, like certain FPS's are made for PC, and certain RPG's or TPS's are made for consoles, this is one of those times, now one thing ill have to say, PC games will always look better than the console version, mostly because a PC always can be faster, and better than a console, but also because of communities that make MODs and Patches. (although there are a FEW examples of games out there that CLEARLY look better on consoles, but thats another story) the point of this review is, it doesn't matter what platform you play your games on, play on whatever console, or whatever typer of PC you want, Splinter Cell will be a good experience on all of em, this game was revolutionary, while MGS had a solid story, Splinter Cell had solid gameplay, (and well.. a decent story i guess, not the best but whatever) Final verdict: If you are a stealth-game veteran like myself, this is a must, but you most likely have tried it already, however if you're new to the PC version, then give it a try, i personally didn't care for it since i don't have that much time for gaming nowadays, but you might LOVE it, 5 stars.
