Simply a Great Game |
| Will Colston from Parkland, USA says (10/Jul/2003): |
I thought Splinter Cell was great the first time I played it. The graphics, sounds, and action were all great! I loved playing there was just so much action, so many surprises such as guys running around the corners, people all of sudden starting speaking and shooting at you. It actually scared me quite a bit.To the designers, thanks for making it.

An absolutely Fantastic game |
| Chris Whyte from Ystradgynlais, Swansea, Wales says (25/Jul/2003): |
When I first saw this game I knew by just looking at the game that I was going to be in for a good gaming experience. This game covers all aspects of TACTICAL ESPIONAGE, hiding in dark areas, Rappelling from roof tops, the lot yuo name it, this game covers the whole piont of Covert Opperations.

greatest game I have ever played |
| A gamer from Carpenter, Wy USA says (7/Aug/2003): |
This really is the best game i have played. It made me think, i loved it. I was really p.oed when i found out there wasn't a multi player option. Also a few more levels without the gameboy advanced would be nice. And make a second one with a story line just as good or better

I got it by mistake! |
| Nikki Soulounias from Athens, Greece says (21/Jan/2004): |
A week ago, i went to a friends house, just to borrow "Beyond Good And Evil". I took the cds, but when i finally got home, i realised that i borrowed "Splinter Cell" instead of "Beyond". Well, this game ROCKS! I'm an RPG fan, but when i started`playing Splinter, i forgot all my beloved RPGs on my bookself. The game has stunning action, and the reason i loved it, is that it's not a mindless shoot'em up but you have to think (sometimes hard) to go to the next "step". Yesterday my friend called me, asking back his cds. The answer was "No way! I'm playing Splinter right now!" Well, i can imagine his dissapointment when he realised that the game was missing from his desk... That was a beautiful mistake, and i discovered that i really like action games if they have the quality of Splinter. THIS IS A MUST BUY! AND DONT TRY TO USE CHEAT CODES OR TRAINERS OR ANYTHING ELSE, CAUSE YOU'LL LOSE ALL THE MAGIC! SQUEEZE YOUR BRAIN AND ACT WISELY. I still prefer RPGs, but when it comes to action/strategy games this is the one i would consider the best of it's kind.

This game is the best steath game there is |
| Sam fisher from Louisville,kentucky says (1/Aug/2005): |
In my opion splinter cell is thebest steath game on the market today. It would not suprise me if this ubisoft continues to make more sequals and improving the game. i agree with others that more ammo should be provided at each level but then again that is what makes the game so hard to complete. If they supplied more ammo everyone would run through the game shooting, and that would make it a "first person shooter" and not a "stealth" game. and there are plenty of "shooter" out there and there all the same. This game reqires your brain and not the brain of your foes all over the floor. I do think that there should be more mission then ten. And for those who have completed the game know that there are not 4 extra "gut wrenching" steath missions at the end of the game. And for those who have not those mission are in the nuclar plant. Its a slae pitch from the makers. I've heard many people compare this game to MGS (metal gear solid) but in my opion this is a much more well-drawn out game. for anybody who is knew to this game this is a game that u connot complete in 2 hours. if you can u are a god. and its one of those games u just cant set down.

this game is awsome |
| denis from illinois usa says (25/Feb/2004): |
i got this game as my last choice at gamestop i thought it would be a bad game because it was cheap. but after i played the game i thought it was great it is really awsome that you can jump up on walls do split jumps and grab people and make them say all the crap you need to know. if you dont have this game i strongly suggest that you buy it immediatly so go to any store that sells this game. i also suggest that u should buy hitman 2 and hitman they are alike splinter cell you can pick locks in a faster way so go out and buy one of these games today a good game is a good game.also if you want some more action play metal gear solid the twin snakes. some other good games are oo7 games they are very interesting you can also use mines and claws to get from building to building.go to g a m e s t o p and g e t y o u r copy o f the greatest game i n t h e world! my favorite part about this game is the gadjets

Decent, but not great. |
| Andrew Huffman from North Carolina, USA says (16/Jun/2004): |
Splinter Cell is very much a stealth game and has some high points. Such as the graphics and dynamic lighting are excellent and it easy to see the developers spent a lot of time in the graphics. Also Sam's different abilities and gear he is given. Also I like the logical thinking you need to use in Splinter Cell in order to beat some missions.
However there are some flaws in this game which can lead to very frustrating situations.
1. Trial & Error - This is the ONLY way I’ve been able to beat a mission. You have repeat certain things over and over until you get them just right before you’re able to get to your next checkpoint. This can be extremely annoying with some level designs. The oil rig is the most apparent in this case. Sam is supposed to follow a technician but not make it apparent that you are there. The only way to follow him is to go across these webbed steel beams when a more logical way would have been to simply climb over the railing on the side.
2. The Cut Scenes - The problem with the cut scenes is they usually serve little purpose, simply pointing out the obvious sometimes. With the trial and error aspect of the game it can become extremely annoying when you are unable to skip the cut-scene.
3. Inconsistent Stealth Meter - Another thing I’ve noticed is that visually I could not see a thing, but on my ’stealth meter’ it shows that I am in the brightest light possible. This simply can not be. The opposite is also true--for example in the Embassy Level if you stand under a street lamp which illuminates the ground the stealth meter will be down to black. It is easy to see that the stealth meter is not very consistent to the lightning.
4. Confusing Level Design - In nearly every mission I have found myself in some way completely stuck. Unable to find a way to the next objective. You see a latter and believe that must be the course you take but instead it takes you no where. This can be incredibly annoying at times.
Overall this game is decent, but does suffer from some major flaws which create a repetitive and boring gameplay. People who like stealth genre games will enjoy this title, however I would suggest Metal Gear Solid for those who are not as much familiar with this kind of game style.

Great but, there is always a but |
| Jeff from BC Canada says (30/Sep/2003): |
I loved this game!
the graphics were slick, the controls were tight and the camera angles were ok. But I have one problem, there is no hand to hand combat mode. If a guard is being to observant as I sneak up behind him, I have no time to press R (GCN) I wished there was a knife or a fist you could just punch him in the face. I mean come on, Fisher being the kind of guy he is, wouldn't he just get one course in Hand to hand combat? seriously thought, great game one of the best almost as good as hitman II, at least in hitman you have the option of breaking down the door with a assult rifle and blasting everyone to hell, not in spinter cell....meh who cares, bring on Pandora!

way ahead of its time... |
| Miguel from California, USA says (13/Feb/2004): |
im sitting here in my room and its about 5 am, i cant even keep my eyes open but for some reason i cant put down the xbox controller thats been in my hands since about 9 pm the night befor. this game is one of the best games of its kind. the sound, graphics, and game play are tight. guards can hear you if you walk to fast on certin floor coverings like hard wood floors, the watch dogs can pick up your scent, you can grab soldiers and hold a gun to his head and get info out of him befor you knock him over the head with your pistol. the lighting in this game is one of a kind and allows you check out the detail that went in to this title. one of the most awsome things about this game is that for most of the situations that you are in can be compleated in many diffrent ways, giving this title a real dynamic feel. this game is not for the run and gunners, if you do run and gun in this game you will end up with that red screen i try to stay away from(failed mission screen). most people wont think this game is fun but this title gose way past fun and compleatly ingulfs you in the world that is now known as SLINTER CELL! i recomend this game to the mature hardcore game lover!!!!! must.... have.....pandora.....AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

can't simply describe this game in words............. |
| sinaus from Australia says (26/Nov/2003): |
u guys out there who gave splinter cell such horrible comments are not being fair. If u were the type of player who just want to shoot mindlessly, than SC is not your type of game. SC requires patience and timing is another issue when u want to grap ur enemies from behind. SC is one game that will test ur patience and endurance, not many games offer that. To conclude, I highly recommend this game, it is just too good n addictive! Oh yes, I been losing sleep lately, all thanks to Ubisoft....... ;-)

Neat gameplay, but more of a one play game. |
| GPC from Texas, USA says (16/Jul/2003): |
Very cool game... but seriously... you would think that someone who says "being in the field is the only thing im good at," would be a little better at aiming. It should have an auto aim option on normal dificulty. Bottles are fun to brake, the gameplay is toooooooo realistic, and what would make the game ten times better??? is if while you make a human shield, you could waste them in your arms. rather than knocking them out, just blow thier brains all over your left arm.
|
Absolutely the best game ever made ... |
| Ron from NY USA says (2/Dec/2002): |
Graphics are to die for. You aren't pampered like you are with MGS. No radar. Limited... very limited ammo. Excellent effects, especially the lighting are so good. You have to be patient and not just barge in. It's a great game of patience and strategy. The AI isn't the best, but the guards are super sensitive.

SPLiNTeR CeLL (For you idiots) |
| A.J. from Loomis, CA says (11/Dec/2002): |
OK, I already did a review for this game... I still think it is a great game & XBOX Did an excellent job on it, I mean "Ubi Soft" too. But people keep ragging on how many glitches & alarms, for all you people who dont have an ounce of patience or skill to play this game it takes time & paying attention to detail as we always say in the MArine Corps. Anyways my point is maybe some pipes and walls are just slightly to high to jump up onto & maybe your just stupid & cant remeber bodies you like behind in the beginning of the last check point, you have to pay attention to these things, & if you play hard rather then normal you can tell the difference between the gaurds & How many there are. The dogs are a killer too im sure some of u will give up soon... but overall i love the game & if you guys wanna rag on a game that is much better then Halo that game was a kids game i beat it in 2 days. Dont get me wrong i lover it but dont put down a game that so many people like, if you dont like it or are frustrated because you cant get passed certain parts cuz u aren't remembering unforgotten notes in the data sticks ur wrong. I'm almost done with it at the last level... see if u can catch up.

The F*ckin Best |
| Kalop from Chicago,Il, USA says (12/Dec/2002): |
I have never played a game were i was that much into it. Its like every step i took was one that i was actually taking.I feel that the makers of this game were on there sh*t when they made this game. For all those people that hate on this game, I dont know what u missed, but maybe you should play the game again and find whatever you missed, because the game is F*CKIN AWESOME.
|
Brilliant but too easy, even on hard. |
| Juan from London, United Kingdom says (13/Dec/2002): |
This is a monster of a game, comes in a close second to halo. Game plot, and story line are well thought of and makes everything make sense. Great graphics, very realistic and flowing. Music is very good and helps you get involved into the game very nicely. I've seen other people's reviews and they keep complaining about alarms and running out of ammo, which i dont understand. First of all, the ammo, you are supposed to use stealth and suprise to kill, always make sure you go for head shots if you do have to shoot, remember, your gun is your last resort. Sometimes its the only way, but make sure you are always hidden when u shoot and do it from a distance preferably with the sniper vision and make sure it is a head shot, be patient, take your time, study your enemies patrol route and take them out when they are most vulnerable. You have other weapons u can use like diversion cameras, sticky shockers, airfoil rings, wall mines, fragment grenades etc. be creative. About the bodies, make sure when u take someone out to drag their body into the dark, then you should have no problem with the alarms. You might trigger the odd alarm but dont worry, if you have done everything correctly it will not interfear with your mission. It might be annoying sometimes but you have to do it, remember you are the best and only the best will do, you have to leave no traces, you are a ghost, no one should know you are there, go in do your business and get out. I was dissapointed with the ending though, but i guess it suits the game if there are going to be more missions to download. Also found the game a bit short, i was really getting into it and before i realised, i'd completed it. There were a few minor faults like not being able to shoot out all the lights, not being able to grab guards' weapons and a few other tiny things but all in all a GREAT game. Loved the light and dark concept.

Highest scoring Tom Clancy hit. |
| Ben Mapa from Bridgewater, New Jersey says (16/Dec/2002): |
One word to say, 9.6. That's .1 higher than the best-selling hit, Halo. Splinter Cell puts you in the game as agent Sam Fisher. Unlike Ghost Recon, this game provides secret agent style gameply as you work alone on your missions. Ghost Recon is more of a battlefield type of game. Splinter Cell outbreaks tremendous graphics and practically reborns the N64 hit Perfect Dark. Did I mention Heat Vision.

Great, but short!! |
| A gamer from Oslo, Norway says (17/Dec/2002): |
I hove the game,but I've had it for about 9 days now and have only two missions left. Thats thats too short!!! If someone thinking about buying it. PLAY ON HARD!!Normal is too easy!! You don't even die after about 4-5-6 missions when you're a noob. It's a good thing that you can download new missions, bot it is not any downloads, yet.The greatest game I ever played!!!!

Amazing graphics and game play, best game for x-box |
| Blasko from Essex Fells NJ USA says (25/Dec/2002): |
I recived this game on christmas, and I love it. I've been playing it for about 3 hours strait and I can't get enough of it. This is a very challenging game so you really have to think sometimes. Splinter Cell will keep you on the edge of your seat at all times.
Peace

Splinter Cell is kick Booooo-Taaaaaay |
| Big Bad Booty Daddy from Edwardsburg, Michigan says (29/Dec/2002): |
Tom Clancy did it again! It's sensational. I thought that Rogue Spear was the best. But Splinter Cell is 1,000 X infinity beter. It's like you're in the game. You have to be swift, stealth, and smart to compleate the awsome graphic, challenging, realistic games. I can't seam to get past the CIA level, but it is the best game ever made. I recremend this game to any one that loves action,is smart in combat, and is swift and stealth.
