TO GOOD FOR WORDS |
| Jonathan from Winterset,IA says (29/Sep/2003): |
THIS GAME IS AWESOME!I don't know were to start...first of the graphics are awesome, and its like your actualy there!People breath and guards can hear you if your too loud but the best part is the stealth,this isin't a fighting game you have to LIVE in the shadows it's freaking awesome you can shoot out lights so guards cant see you, put on night vision goggles sneak up on him and...While all this is going on the guard's goin "What the heck was that,is someone there?"IS this not cool people?I guess you could compare it to Metal Gear Solid,but its more of a creep along, hide, and go kill 30 guys game.But it's still cool...
Anyway I guess I should rate it, The sound couldn't be better it sounds like your really just knocked that guy out or thats a real gun shooting.The Graphics are obviously awesome, they really spent alot of time making the game,And the fun factor?
110% this is my favorite game no doubt about it,you can throw pop cans and distract the guards,or turn off the light the person runs to turn it back on but he's lying on the ground before he gets there...;)There's Guarddogs,spotlights,Cameras,Retinal scanners and so much more!
I didin't like the ps2 one too much because they changed the levels and now im wondering "What the heck do I do?"I also like the plot,its like a Classic/Modern Spy movie but your right in it!
If you own an XBOX PS2 OR GAMECUBE GET SPLINTER CELL!

another one of the best games ever. |
| Raziel LaVey from Independence, ky says (10/Sep/2003): |
2 games made this game possible.
1. thief.
2. metal gear solid
if it werent for thief, the whole idea of footsteps, the visibility gem, shooting out lights... all that, probably wouldnt be there, for thief was the first to bring you this. and of course metal gear one of the first tactical/espionage games out there.
put em together, you have one badass game. it shouldve REMAINED on xbox and pc because when i took the time to play it on ps2 i was pretty much insulted by how pathetic it paled in comparison to the other platforms.
anyway... back to splinter cell. as i read thru some of the reviews... yes a knife wouldve been great. as for further in the game, the chinese embassy you see guards with lights on their guns, and i guess after kicking enough georgian ass part of military uniform became night vision goggles, explaining why your not so invisible in shadows later in the game.
lambert offering hints during gameplay... genius idea. not being able to pick up enemy guns? i could care less. when you knock out guards they stay incapacitated until another guard wakes them, and that wont happen if you properly hide the bodies ;).
for those metal gear lovers, this game has everything metal gear was missing. being able to hide up in corridors, dropping down on unsuspecting victims (if the walls are close enough) human shields (the shield should have a health meter, thank you. when you aim at them they shoot YOU and SOMEHOW miss the shield!" not to mention walking around with a human shield in front of enemy soldiers is impossible to do without making the wrong move... since you cant side-step or walk backwards without aiming at other soldiers, thus "dropping your guard"...) not exactly as effective as dead to rights.
otherwise... the game is great. just play it, you might finding yourself writing a rave review when your done...

A Kick Ass Adrenaline Rush |
| Elias Christou the Great from Melbourne Australia says (5/Sep/2003): |
Splinter cell(XBOX) is an adrenaline rush with all its features, there is not one error in this game, my personal opinion is that it's better then Halo. Halo has the let down of no XBOX live speacialties, whereas in Splinter Cell you can get extras from XBOX live if the current game contents don't satisfy you, but for me, this is the best game on the XBOX. There's only one game of which can match Splinter Cell, Halo 2!

great game but flawed |
| A gamer from England says (27/Aug/2003): |
This game is great no matter which way you look at it but it is insanely unrealistic, for instance when a guard walks past you and does'mt even notice you a couple of inches away I mean It's his job to search for intruders!Having said that it still remains one of the best games in the past decade.

THE BEST TOM CLANCY GAME YET!!!!!! |
| Foxhound from Carbondale, IL says (12/Aug/2003): |
When i first played the game i was amazed at how detailed the story line and game play was. I really like the way that they made it to ware u can do the missions in multiple ways. This game really makes you think. and i love how it scared me half-to-death. not that the gameplay was scary it was just the excitement of the game. i hope they make another. It did Remind me of a shorter Medal Gear...but this game really Blows Medal Gear out of the water!
|
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
|
The coolest game ever! |
| Sam from new york says (29/Jul/2003): |
Once I saw it on the screen I knew it would be good. but as soon as you start playing it, you get so into it! once you start you can't get enough. it's the best it has good graphics and excitment and fear! when I was at the end my hands were shaking 'cause I was so nervous!
|
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.
|
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.

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.
|
all off it |

Awasome |
| Justin from Nsw, Australia says (7/Jul/2003): |
This game is one of the best yet I have ever played that is from the Tom Clancy Franchise. I am still playing it 4 months after I got it and I am loving every minute of it. the graphics are great and every level is challanging, gets you thinking about how you want to solve the problem. I reccomend this game to fans of other tom clancy games.

awesome |
| eddie from melbourne says (3/Jul/2003): |
Splinter cell is probably the best game on xbox if not on all consoles.It may be to hard for some but most people should cope. There are many alternative ways to tackle a challenge.You can use a non-leathal device, use force, sneak around, or use an item in your environment as a distraction. This game made me play it non stop till i fininshed it and it was bloody awesome. Shame on those who have an xbox and don't have splinter cell because your missing out on alot of fun! get it now if you haven't got it you won't regret getting it.

Great Game |
| Tyler from Nevada, US says (26/Jun/2003): |
I think that Splinter Cell is an awesome game. It has some of It has the best graphics I have ever seen, well XBOX is the best. It is one of the first great stealth games. I love all the weapons and gadgets, especially the sticky cam. Two things that I didn't like most was when your hiding in the shadows and an enemy goes by couldn't he see the light emitting from your goggles and radio on your back, plus I thought there weren't enough levels, it seemed like once you got the SC-20K, which I was anticipating most, the game was over. The statement that you don't get enough ammo is incorrect because between your two guns you have 100 shots and you only need 1 to kill someone, plus they give you a whole bunch of 5.56mm ammo.I loved how you can see individual strands of light like through open blinds or an air vent. The story line was pretty cool. I liked how it made you feel like you actually were Sam and were actually sneaking around. The music made it more realistic, because they played authentic Georgian music.I would recommend it to everyone.

Excellent!!! |
| Mike from New York, USA says (20/Jun/2003): |
The game was great. I loved the graphics and gameload was not too shabby. Then again thats XBox for ya! The game could stand to be longer I'd say it would take a good video-gammer maybe 20-25hrs to beat it and the XBox live level Kola Cell is pretty sweet. Can't wait for a second Splinter Cell (watch the extras) Overall I'll give it a 9 outta 10!

SC2 is cool, but not realistic |
| ZeroKool from AK says (19/Jun/2003): |
Ok, there are some aspects of the game that are sweet, like the SC-20k and the attachments for it, the graphics are cool, the idea of such special forces, but even if there was a fifth freedom, why would anyone leave dead bodies in a chinese embassy, who would clean them up? I had a friend that did spec ops and he tried this game, thought that it was pretty cool, but it was not possible. The govn't would never allow someone to sneak in to other places and just kill people. Not even with the Sept 11 thing. I think the game has good graphics, cool weapons, cool music by crystal method, but it is lacking in realism. The fun part of the game is being able to control a bad assed NSA agent, the weapons, both of them, and being able to shoot out the lights. The bad part of the game, not having enough ammo, no knife, lack of true "stealth". By that I mean the his suit was too dark to be of any use. He would stand out in real life like a sore thumb. That is why our military uses broken patterns, not solid colors. Same with SWAT and spec ops. I like the game, I have recommened it to people, but it doesn't meet other Tom Clancy games, or books. I give it an 8.

awsome BUT............................. |
| MO SEMAKIEH from peoria/IL/USA says (18/Jun/2003): |
this game is great i love sneaking behind people a hit them with my fist or a beer bottle it will drop him bad. when is played metal gear solid 2 and played this there is no comparing between them the game play much more fun but i have some stuff i want to say that i dont like about this game. im metal gear there are a bunch of movies but in splinter cell like once or twice in the hole game and PLINTER CELL is short! metal gear solid 2 is a lot longer and! WHY THE STORY SUxx when i played the game i did not care about the (each level movie) i just skipped them! all i know is that KILL the damn gorgian leader i recommend to buy used!

This is one of the best mission games of all time |
| Anthony from Texas says (17/Jun/2003): |
I think Ubi Software did a great job on creating this game. The ideas are well though out and the story line is incredible. But while the game shines, it still falls in some categories. If Splinter Cell wants to be on the same level of games like "Goldeneye" it has to improve a lot. Pros: I love the fact that you can shoot out the lights and use your night vision goggles. I'ts cool how you can grab your opponents. The graphics are a ten. There is a training mode in which you can learn the basics of the game and excel in it. I like how the ending left everybody guessing Cons: The game is not as realistic as it should be (eg. A turret has its programmer lying nearby unguarded; Come on!). There are not many choices on where to go in the missions. If Lambert sees everything you do, how come whenever your stuck he never gives you advice. Some things you can climb and some things you can't, (Some things you can pick up some things you can't) very strange. When you shoot people they are never bleeding when you go up close to them. You can't take people's guns after you kill them. There are a lot more pros and cons I can get in to but I am running out of space. Overall the game was pretty good and I can't wait for Splinter Cell 2

I say this is one of the games that make xbox worth will |
| Johnnyo from South Biirmingham, England says (15/Jun/2003): |

Best Tom Clancy Game |
| Andy from Las Vegas NV says (11/Jun/2003): |
I thought nothing could be as fun as Ghost Recon but this is way more fun. The only thing wrong is there isnt enough levels. The game is to short, if you had stuff to unlock that would be awesome, but still this game is one of my favorites. Next to Metal Gear this game is pretty cool which is alot since Metal Gear was suck a kick ass game. If they do make SC2 they should put some of these things in there and maybe a knife that would be cool since of the limited amount of bullets. Other than that this game rocks. Tom Clancy should help on the next Metal Gear game.
