Best thing ever!!! |
| Jason from MD, USA says (25/Nov/2002): |
I've been waiting for a good game to come out after Halo and finaly its here.... Splinter Cell. I'd say its better compared to Halo, the only thing that I can see that would have made it the best game so far ever would be multiplayer oppions... I would defintily put it at the top of your chirstmas list for this year...

God Like! |
| Paul Robinson from Scarborough, Ontario says (26/Nov/2002): |
I have only enjoyed this game from a demo's point of view but from what i played,it puts MGS to shame. Not that i'm criticising Metal Gear or anything but you just have way more to do and the tools to accompish them. I still remember playing the Metal Gear Solid 2. I never thought anyone would ever replace it. It was soo detailed and the ability to hold up gurads and jack them was amazing, but until i tried it out in SC, well let's just say Raiden has nothing on Sam Fisher. So to everyone who has an xbox and loves espionage just as much as i do, BUY THIS GAME. Your a fool if you don't!

Another perfect score |
| flysupes from Des Moines, IA, USA says (27/Nov/2002): |
I knew the first time I booted up the demo disc that this would be my new favorite game. I hate to be redundant, but I had to give it another perfect 10. I'm not very far into the game yet, but I have to say it is like nothing I've ever seen before. A combination of strategy, skill and careful observation are required to get through. The graphics, as everyoe in this forum has said, are unrivaled, even by Halo. Now if I could just find more time to play!

perfection except.... |
| josiah clarke from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada says (27/Nov/2002): |
but i have notticed that there are a lot of clipping issues with the dead or unconsious bodies and some of the item pick animations are a little sketchy being as the guy glides to the object or the body, and the trail and error can be more than redundent (eg cia level or the place with mines and snipers). all that said the shadow work and lighting effects are the best ever and the stratagy required in this game is like nothing ever seen befor. the ai is way better than some games it is near perfection, although the change in enviroment dection is a little um (how should i put this) crappy. but again a great game

Splinter Cell OR Metal Gear Solid |
| Jim S. from beverly,Ma.USA says (28/Nov/2002): |
I have to say that S.P. is better graphically but that they needed to include wall tapping in S.P. and i've found bugs in the game when after saving at a check point opening some doors without a cammera or heat sensitve areas or laser beams the "ALARMS GO OFF" the only way to fix this problem is to start over your mission...No idea why this happens but it does !!! as far as game play it's good.the A.I in the game isn't as true as they could be ..for example when a gaurd is alerted you should still be able to grab him from behind or the side,instead they just spin in 360-degrees of rotation and if your lucky enough that they need a reload then get them with your elbow in the face.I relize that this game is based on much more stealthy action but you should still be able to camacazi your oponents punch em kick em choke them to death.oh yeh when wedged between the right spaces where you are above the enemy you should be able to hang down and choke your enemy as well as jumping down with a two handed smash.with a wire or a rope ...nice huh ?right now i own bolth the PS-2 & the X-Box of the two systems right now I would have to say that the PS-2is the more fun system to play the same games on the X-Box is a little better with the graphics though so for now it's back and forth.

Goodbye MGS |
| Michael C. from Troy, Ohio says (1/Dec/2002): |
Brilliant game full of strategy and stealth, though I am a die Hard RPG fan I bought this game. And I have no regrets, it has graphics that just enthralled me, the shadowing is brilliant. I rated this game the same way I would rate an extraordinary RPG. I thought Suikoden 3 for PS2 was the greatest game of the year and this game though a different Genre puts it to shame. Sony had better do something if they don't want to lose in sales.

Metal Gear who? |
| A gamer from Canada says (2/Dec/2002): |
At one time in my life Metal Gear was the best stealth action game out there until now Splinter Cell rases the bar to new heights. In the words of Homer J Simpson " I give this 7 thumbs up"

Wheres the levels |
| clyde from west branch says (2/Dec/2002): |
All in all splinter cell is a great game but i found it to be extremely short i beat it on hard in 3 days. The lighting was excellent and so was the advanced ai.

Booya grandma! |
| Aaron from St.Catharines, Canada says (2/Dec/2002): |
Splinter cell dominates any spy game Ive ever played even though it can get really hard at times, but isnt it about time video games should get more challenging.....let me tell ya this is it! The gameplay is the best part about this game, everything is so real... guards see your shadow, even help out the guys you pistol whipped, they can hear you, notice the mess you left. This is actually the first stealth game ive ever seen when the guards actually have some common sense. I give this game 10/10 and get off your lazy butt and buy the game!!!!!!!.....or at least rent it!

One hell of a game. The best I've played thus far |
| Chris Griffiths from Denver, USA says (2/Dec/2002): |
What a great game. I went straight home and played it after purchasing it and love it! The movement, sounds, graphics and gameplay have no equal in any other xbox game I've played. Though Hitman 2 was good this blows it away.... add this one to your Christmas list, you'll wanna play it.

GREAT GAME |
| oscar acuna from Chandler, AZ USA says (3/Dec/2002): |
I loved metal gear solid for the PS2 then my PS2 broke I went over to a friends house and I played the splinter cell game and I bought an Xbox just for the game its great. . . but time to time it can be difficult. I a stuck in the sewers in the chinnese level any tips for getting past the gards?
|
This game is like the energizer bunny.. keeps going, and going |
| lance from las vegas, nv. usa says (5/Dec/2002): |
I finished Halo in one sitting (about 8 hours). The Hitman 2 in about 6 hours. I've been playing for about 3 hours a day for the past week or so. I'm not even half way there, I'm still stuck in the CIA building. It as close to being a spy as you're going to get. I'm a firefighter and on our "downtime" (when its slow) we play this and make bets about how fast the person playing is going to get caught or killed. One of the previous reviews that someone wrote said that they found a flaw with the game (when they opened the doors and the alarms went off). The game isn't at fault but the player. The reason why the alarms went off is because you didn't hide the bodies in the shadows like you're suppose to. If you look at the top left corner of the screen it will tell you when you get caught why the alarm is going off. So no flaws with this game. Deffinitely worth the 50 bucks and the wait. I can't believe its not out on the PS2. What a lose!

Bye Bye MGS2 |
| A gamer from Fraser, USA says (5/Dec/2002): |
Wow! After playing the first level of this game, I was hooked like a drug addict.This game requires you to think about your moves. Metal Gear Solid 2 was awesome, but this game puts it to shame. I really can't find a fault in this game(the enemy clipping issues aren't a big deal.Graphics are great, gameplay rocks, and the F2000 is awesome(it's a gun). A note that i would like to add to people that play this game. DON'T QUIT IF YOU GET STUCK. look for paintings to reveal things, rails to climb, and ledges to hang on.
|
great game |
| kyle from mcminnville OR, USA says (5/Dec/2002): |
i think splinter cell is a great game, but i think its stupid that you cant take guns of gaurds you incapacitate. how unrealistic, you run out of ammo quick and you cant even take there guns? what are you suposed to do when you run out get killed? therefore that is pretty stupid. besides that i give it a 9 for realism, and difficulty.
|
One of the better stealth games |
| phil from ohio says (6/Dec/2002): |
I just got the game 3 days ago and play for about 3hrs a night and im past the cia building, i wish i was beting money with you guys you'd be broke. the game is better than mgs2 but i would like to see more guns, and actually shoot the guy in the head when you have him from behind

Refined/Challenging |
| Greg from Boulder, Colorado says (6/Dec/2002): |
There's an element of reality to this game that I've not seen before. Sound plays a big role so anything you do to create noise comes into play. What I like best is the fact that you have to consider all aspects of your envionment and the gadgets you possess before moving forward. Without careful consideration and planning you're just not going to make it. I read that the game is too challenging. Since we're talking a computer game we know there's a solution to each situation, you just have to find it. I guess real life is the similiar, but there's no guarantee a solution exists.
Graphics are pretty sweet but they're not the main factor behind what makes this game so good. It's the total package combined to make this a comprehensive gaming experience.
Thanks to the brains at Ubi Soft for being able to conjure up and deliver this one.
Overall it's a great buy. Have fun!

Under the cover of darkness |
| Greg from Sydney Australia says (6/Dec/2002): |
Tom Clancy's Splinter cell has me hooked. I cant put down the controller like a good book. Anyway last night, it was time to take out the garbage. Funny though, I tip toe along the shadows of the carport, with my new aquired nightvision skills - I sneaked up the driveway like Sam Fisher would. Damn, I am being silly for a thirty something old.

The Best Game So Far!!!! |
| XBOX4LIFE from Minnesota, USA says (6/Dec/2002): |
I got this game about a week ago and ever since ive played it as much as possible above Halo(and im a HALO FREAK!). The game scored a 9.6 with OXM, which is the highest score they have given out so far (and thats above Halo). The graphics are enough alone to go out and buy the game, and I mean it when I say that this game sets the bar for others to fallow. I, myself am about 2/3 of the way done with the game but about the time I beat it Xbox Live™ will have more levels out to download. With the people who are saying "I wish I could shoot more..." go buy a PS2(LOL at all u PS2 fanboys out there). And the reason it doesnt come out for Playstation 2 is really simple i just cant handle it... and the makers of the game basicly said that PS2 is a huge load of S***.

ThIs GaMe Is OFF Da HooK! |
| DeVant`e from Australia, Sydney says (7/Dec/2002): |

Firstly before i got tha game i was already looking up reviews and all about this game b4 i purchase it But when i finnaly got it it blew me away straight away. I reckon this is the best game on the xbox rite now or at tha moment,the graphics are superb like i never seen before, the gamplay kicks it hehehe im up to the chinese embassy stage just killed grinko LOL! tha sound is sooo realistic its like a daym movie and my girlfriend likes me playing while she watches coz she said it looks sooo daym real! anywayz definitely da $$ i spent on this game is worth it. And i hope they make a sequel becoz think about it will be 3 or 4 times better than the original!
