Splinter Cell is off the hook. | | StealthCell from Nashville, TN USA says (10/Feb/2003): | Splinter Cell is by far the most kick ass game I have ever played. It gives you the feeling of being a real agent. When you turn your XBOX on and start playing your game you feel like you're in it. I mean you forget about it being a game and you are so absorbed by it. The graphics are great. Let's get realistic, everything about this game is kick ass. Yeah, it might seem like it takes forever to get through the levels or the whole game, but that's what you get when you're playing as a stealthy Navy Seal looking charachter. You have to watch out and be careful of where you step. Sure it might not have bullet time but it more than makes up for it. I gave this game a big ten out of ten.
| IMENSE | | grant from wales says (13/Feb/2003): | This game was the best EVER created. It was the reason i finally bought an XBox, as i was one of the 'ps2 rules' idiots out-there. Sam beats Snake hands down, the story was superb, graphics were even better and the realism and in depth detail of the game were beyond any other consoles dreams, this even beats the P.C. graphics. The gameplay was excellent and i had to sit by my TV and finish the game as soon as i started playing it....it was like an addiction.. My life is incomplete until another Tom Clancy game is released, or even better Splinter Cell 2. There was only one disadvantage with the game and that is the lack of 'add on' mission packs that can be purchased- com on microsoft- twist ubi softs arm and get them to release sum...until then hope u release sum great titles like this....
| The Best Game In history | | Joe tanner from God Coast QLD Australia says (14/Feb/2003): | This game is the best game I have ever played on any console. The best thing about this game is that it is very life-like and challenging. At first i found it a little hard, and as the game progressed it became more fun by the stage. The weapons are great and I think this game is a brilliant idea, the creaters should extremely proud of themselves and i don't think you will find a more exiting game. 10 Out of 10, absolutely magnificent a work of art.
| Best god damn game ever | | A gamer from Falls Church says (19/Feb/2003): | I've been waiting for a game like this for a long time. its amazing, finially not one of those shootum up games with no purpouse and just gets boring. its fun, amazing graphics (actaul characters and movement in the clothing and not the same two guys over and over again) amazingly realistic for what it is and chalenging. smater a fact its more where you try not to kill people and try to get through the game with as little fatalities as possible. its a realist covert infultration game. its as much fun and even a match for halo
| One of the best games ever. | | A gamer from Seattle Washington, Usa says (21/Feb/2003): | Oh man Tom Clancy has done the best game I have ever seen yet. The graphics nearly look real and the lighting is amazing. The shadows look nearly real and yes you can blow out lights to avoid detection but I will explain that more when i talk about
the gameplay. The sound is very lifelike and outragous. This is very diffrent for you Metal gear soild fans so if you think you can beat this easy because you beat all of that series your wrong. It is way diffrent because guards react to how much sound you make, shadows, light and will react quick if they see you. When you first start you will probley just like coming behind guards and giving them "the buisness" yet you will find its much more easy to use the lights to your advantage. Don't think theres not enought ammo this game is more stealth then kill
everyone and run. Sadly this game isn't long enough or at least I think. About 5 to 10 days and you will conquer this game. But don't think it's a bad game. Even if your not a fan of stealth tactics games pick this up.
| wow,this game blew me away,better have beaten halo! | | jason from edmonton alberta,canada says (22/Feb/2003): | wow,these graphics and environments for this game were unreal,i couldnt stop playing till i got 1 level ahead.it captivates you till you cant keep your eyes open any more.I belive this game should be the game of the year due to its stratigic gameplay and awesome animations.it almost looks real ,at first i couldnt tell the difference between real news and the news on the game,with all the stock prices and all.unbelievably crazy,well im suposed to fit in 200 words here so,well keep goin.i just cant believe this game.it blew me away.it better have a soundtrack come out sooner or later,they did that with the grand theft auto game,but that just blew kuz all the music from the eighties sucks except rock and roll.so ya this sound track would be a big hit. with crystal meathod and all.good stuff ubisoft. Continue to make games this good please,we all need a bit more tom clancy in this world,and if youve never played any tom clancy game,you are deprived. thats all i have to say ,thank you vry much,the game rocks
| Best Tom Clancy game yet | | Dusty McGraw from Foley, MO USA says (24/Feb/2003): | I play a lot of Clancy games but this one is truly amazing. That guy that gave it a one out of ten must be a first time gamer and not really good yet because i always had ammo left at the end of the level. This game has the best graphics of Clancy game too. I have never seen any thing like it. It's almost like watching a movie. I was truly amazed at this game.
| Best Graphics, Yes. Best Game ever??? No. | | MilchKov from Houston, Texas says (27/Feb/2003): | This is a good game, anf although the graphics are awesome, graphics dont make the game, gameplay makes the game. Overall, gameplay is pretty good with only a couple of problems i've noticed so far.
1)First, which has already been said is the streamlining of missions. You have to do everything in the exact same order in the exact same place and it basically just turns into a game of try and fail once you figure it out.(ie. Go up elevator, explodes, die. go through roof of elevator, wall mine blows up, die. Go thruogh roof, disable mine, go out door, get shot, die. It really just turns into trial and error until you get it and move on to next savepoint.)
2)Opening doors. The animation for opening a door is always the same. This is not the bad part, the bad part is that when you open the door, you're standing right in the middle of the doorway and usually get blasted with the quickness. Opening stealth lets you see through, but you're still right there when the door opens. You need to be able to open a door from the side, not exposing yourself to who/whatever is inside.
3)Leaning. Almost all the other Clancy games had a lean button, why not this one?? You cant lean across all corridors with your back against the wall. This would be extremely helpful on certain parts, like doorways, killing Grinko, etc.
Overall this is a pretty good game, except for the flaws I pointed out. This would get onto my top 10-20 list for sure, but not the bestgame I ever played. Best Graphics, Yes. Best Game ever??? No.
| This game is off the heezy! | | Fish Hummel from Rockwall, Texas U.S.A says (28/Feb/2003): | Tom Clancy is a pure genious. He puts basically all of the aspects that everyone wants in a game into this one. It's tight because the A.I. is so aware of everything that you do, the gameplay is so suspenseful, especially in the library on the last level. One nice touch by Clancy is, the curtains and blinds that move when you walk/run through them. Also the fact that you have to use all of the buttons and control every motion that Fisher has is awesome. One more thing, Splinter Cell for PS2, doesn't even compare to the one for Xbox. That is why this one is a definite 10.
| THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER PLAYED | | Spencer Nelson from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA says (1/Mar/2003): | This game was one of the first games I recieved for my XBox, I recieved it as a gift and have never let it go. I have found that this game is a little confusing for me at least, just because I don't have anything to help me out or anyway to find maps, which is I would think the whole purpose of the game.
I enjoy the challenge that the game gives me, even when I do spend the amount of HOURS playing.
I do rate this game as the top best, and not one of, but the BEST!!!!!
| Holy crap! | | Simon from stockholm, Sweden says (2/Mar/2003): | This game is going to be in the history books!.
I could'nt believe what I were seeing when I saw the guy that gave it a 1. He must be joking, how can anyone not like this game?
There really is very few bad things about Splinter cell, I wish there will be a second one.
The lightning effects are stunning, and the sound! Man, the sound is awesome. The first mission, the practise is really showing you how to control the character. There is no training in firearms, but it's pretty obvious how to use them.
This game kicks Metal gear solids ass! big time!
The ONLY bad thing is that the missions are not different every time you play. There is only one way to finish the missions, so there is a very small amount of player creativity.
But don't let that bother you.
There are so many goods things about this game, so it worth buying an X-box if you don't have one already.
This will make you sit in front of your tv for hours.
three final words: BUY THIS GAME!
| A Must Have | | Arnold from San Antonio says (3/Mar/2003): | Well, the game is obviously a graphical masterpiece, and the sound is awesome. Some of the terms used might be a bit technical but it gives you the full expierience of the stealth operation. I like the fact that the game makes you work at things like picking locks, which is usually something taken for granted in other games. This game is great and very life like, you are human and not an invincible one man army with infinite health and health. I think this game is a must have for any Xbox owner.
| Splinter Cell is the best there is!! | | A gamer from South Carolina, USA says (8/Mar/2003): | Splinter Cell is an awsome all around game. The first time I played it, I didn't like it because it was to hard for me. But then I figured it out. It is the best sealth action game ever! It deserves a ten from everybody. The graphics amaze me. It is so realistic it's almost like it's just a video of something that really happened! If you like video games at all, I highly reccomend Splinter Cell.
| Whoa!!!! | | Eric from South Carolina, USA says (8/Mar/2003): | Splinter Cell kicks ass! The graphics are awsome. I wonder how they made this game's graphics so perfect, yet other game designers make their graphics look like $#< remove me > at !! The sound in SC is great. The cans, the bottles, the glass, the guns, and the people sound as real as can be. Everybody who's played the game has given it an awsome score, yet there are these few people who give it a 4! The gameplay is fantastic. I can't stand those games that give you so much health you can't die. You get just the perfect amount of health for this game. The enemies are pretty decent themselves. Everybody has the perfect amount of health. The guns are superb. They make other game's weapons look like sticks! They make excellent sound when you shoot them too. It's good that finally there's a game that lets you interact with objects. It makes me think somebody actually tried to make a decent game, unlike other games. And I like the fact SC has no cheats. I hate the little cheap asses who use cheats on games! It takes the fun out of the game. This game is extremely fun when you don't use use guides or get hints. And i'll bet that the people who gave SC a bad score probaly used guides or found hints off of the computer. This is an all around fun game that everyone will enjoy. If you are looking for a good game game, I recomend Splinter Cell all the way!
| Almost a perfect game but one thing missing... | | Christopher Fultz from Eugene OR USA says (8/Mar/2003): | I loved the game and wish I could give it a ten. The graphics and gameplay are stunning, but I can't concider a game without muili player perfect. I don't see it as a feature the game needs because it would not suit the game, but that is the only thing that they don't have. And the game shines, and the graphics, again, are amazing. Best graphics hands down. All I got to say is they better make a sequal, because this is a truly unique and awsome game. I would not think twice before buying the sequal. And for the guy who gave this a 1, what is wrong with you. If it wasn't challenging it would suck. For the sequal the only recomendation is more levels. Mabey muiltiple campaigns, and possibly a few more varietys of wepons. But over all, keep up the good work.
| Good and the bad | | Richard Doyles from US of A says (9/Mar/2003): | In the world of stealth action gaming, shadows are your best friend and silence is king. Discretion is, and always have been, the trademark of a true professional. Splinter Cell has great graphics and even better gameplay that rips off Metal Gear in the most blatant way, but indeed that is why this game rocks and more. Sam Fisher has a vast arsenal of moves, it really takes sometime before everything becomes second nature and empowers the player immensely. I'm impressed the way the game subtly encourages gamers to use stealth and cunning to incapacitate enemies whenever possible rather than brute force. Oh and the save features are GREAT! One thing I notices though is that the graphics for the PC version are far more superior than the Xbox. Also the control physics are great for the Xbox, but the controls for PC version are very tight and almost faultless. On the other hand, this game has some of the lamest story I've seen in my life. Nothing unravels in a way to excite players to find out more, since most of the time you don't get to see any of the character's faces in an intimate fashion, whether they'll be villains or good guys. As a result I felt so detached from the storyline, I might as well play Quake III and frag my opponents while hiding in the shadows. It doesn't help the fact that I have no sympathy for the CIA causes; every intelligent Americans knows that the CIA is as crooked as Colombian druglords. Hmm maybe this game covertly recruit our young boys and girls into working for the government? Now that's what I call a good storyline! Oh, and it might help to change Sam Fisher's face as well - in my opinion he looked a bit too old to be kicking ass. You don't see any grey shades on Solid Snake's hairs. I really like this game and highly recommend it to those who loves quality stealth gaming like the superb Thief and Metal Gear Solid series, or something less subtle like Hitman 2.
| Metal gear is good, this is better. | | A gamer says (9/Mar/2003): | I think that this game is done very well. I though that Metal Gear II was very well made also, but it was too short, and the PS2 graphics make me retch. I do, however, feel that Splinter cell has all of the elements of the right game. The visuals are great, the sound pounds on your cranium, and the gameplay rocks energy through your heart. Overall I think that this game is very impressive. Now for what I dislike about the game. This game is good, although at times it seems as though the enemies are totally, unrelistically challenging. Nobody should be able to hear someone fall from five feet, and then land quietly. Even though it is hard, that is what makes this game so endearing. The enemies in Metal Gear (Both I and II) are entirely predictable, and it was much too easy to slip pass them. The lack of multiplayer is quite disheartening, as I think that a multiplayer (either splitscreen, co-op *drool*, or online gameplay would make this deal all the sweeter. Overall, this is a great game, that has a few minor shortcomings. I still think, however, that this game is as good, if not better, than MGSI and MGSII
| Great Graphics, really hard, very good, the harder the better | | Gnatman from Boise, USA says (10/Mar/2003): | This is one of the best games i have ever played in my life... this is a hard game but the hard in the game is what makes the game good. All of the other games that i have played are easier than this game. This game has great graphics and by far the best plot i have ever seen in a game of this caliber... i have only made it to like the 4th level but that is enough to tell that this is the best game i have ever played so far... my brother likes it, my friends like it, and most importantly i love it.
| well it just rocks | | john says (13/Mar/2003): | it's like you're in a movie, you got style and all, and you improvise, on the first level I ran outta bullets kiling cops without shooting their heads, still was quite fun ending the with just a can and barehand fighting, by the time I went to dead drop I had one bullet. in the next level I only died once in the last part where you pick up the grenade, I finished the level with 20 bullets... camon bullets are usefull to save work their not indespendable, you can alaways figure oput a way to wack their heads, the only time that I spended a lot of bullets was in the courtyard shoot out, the rest of the bullets I used it on cameras, after that level I finished all the others without worrying about bullets and now that I have the rifle bullets are not an issue, the diversion cameras are, gotta love those, I hated MGS2 because your weapon didn't kill enemies, they just slept for a minute, what kind of a weapon would do such a thing? even a slinger in the head would prove more efective. as for the gameplay, I play it on PC so I don't know what the hell are you talking about when you say it's not very fluid, it's probably the best and easiest gameplay I've seen, I figure out that playing it with a mouse and play with a gamepad it's not quite the same, gamepads are for games without necessary aiming. oh and I do save games whenever I want hehe
| The best !! | | Tiago from Porto, Portugal says (14/Mar/2003): | IS A VERY GOOD GAME... Sorry my english, i'm portuguese and don't write english very well but i have to speak of the game .. Is a fantastic game it everthing i expect .. Is more good then Metal Gear Solid .. I love Metal gear solid but splinter cell is very, very good more than metal gear .. if anyone have some question of the game mail me .. :)
Good Game for all ..
