Splinter Cell, the Ultimate Training for a black ops Agent

A spine tinglingly excellent console game if I do say so myself, Splinter Cell takes you into the mind of a shadow operative, forcing you to use all your wits, skills and the save button to accomplish your mission.

Splinter Cell's amazing use of visibility, really brings the game to life. In the game, your visibility is measured by a light meter on your black op's suit. When its at full to the right, you're lit up like a Dutch Brothel, but all the way to the left and you're a ghost's shadow. The games levels provide shadows for you to crawl through, rendering you near invisible. But don't just go walking through, you need to always be aware of your surroundings. Glass and paper strewn about can make noise underfoot, alerting your opponents to your presence. It requires alot of observation and skill to maneuver these levels carefully and silently. When sneaking up on enemy's your heart begins to pump frantically at the possibility that they will turn around at the last second.

This game is extremely realistic, and it gives you no quarter. You have to earn your status as an Echelon Agent, and it is by no means easy.
But get to the end of the game, and you'll be amazed at how far you've come.

5/5

I bought this game having never played it. So i poped it in my g-cube and i was hooked. I couldent stop playing it. It is so fun to sneak around and completing secret missions. Not like other action games that are very easy this game is on the challenging side.

Sam Fisher is asecret agent who is famous for his stealthy moves. Sam is called back in after two adgents go missing in Gorgia. Get ready to be thrown into a action packed wirlwind adventure, which will take you all over the world as Sam Fisher. You will love this game.

Sam is voiced by the famous Micheal Ironside, who brings a cool vibe to the charecter. For being made in 2002 the graphics are amazingly good. I would reccomend any game from this series to anyone also.

very much fun and challenging

its a lot of fun except for one thing doing the same part over and over and over and over and over and that kinda gets annoying but other than that great graphics cool gadgets and lots of choices on how your gonna kill someone.shock, explode,pop one in his head,sand bags,wack or just get killed by him.

oh yeah and something else thats really funny on the last level presidental palace when you knock out the first guy grab his body and go as close as you can to the cliffs edge and hit "R"
and youll pull out your gun and his body will fall off the cliff which is really funny to watch so enjoy

Great.

I don't own this game, but I borrowed it from someone and I never gave it back. I love it, which means you will love it, because everything I like is good.

One of the best games I ever played!

Splinter Cell is awesome! It has great graphics, kick-butt stealth tactics, and blow your-mind-off weapons! You can move in the shadows so no one can see you, you can pick up bodies, you can hack into computers, and use lethal or non-lethal force!
If you like strategy and/or stealth games, you'll love this! If you like an all out war, do not get this game! The story line is great but it could be longer. Still, the leves are long so it will keep you busy! There is a hard mode and normal mode. I suggest playing in hard mode. Normal mode is easy. Now, a message to all people who think that all shooters have to be 1st person:Splinter Cell is better in 3rd person! After you beat this on normal and hard mode, get Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow!

One of my all time favorites!

I received this game as a free gift for buying the Prince of Persia. I ended up enjoying Splinter Cell much more than the $50 game I payed for. The graphics are well done and the game play is excellent.

You are Sam Fisher, an under cover agent who leaves no trace of his existence. You carry two armed weapons, a SC Pistol and the SC-20K M.A.W.S. The SC-20K will be used in the later missions of the game. You have a 3rd person view and can interact with all of your surroundings. You hide to existing shadows or create your own (shoot out the lights) and take out your opponets one by one in a stealth fashion.

The graphics could improve slightly. The shadows seem very light even though your stealth gauge tells you are nearly invisible to enemy eyes. The AI intelligence is limited also. They may walk right past you in the dark even though they are looking right at you. They also give up their search for you after 30 seconds to a minute if they can't find you, even though one of their comrades was just shot in the head.

I used to hate stealth games because they were very frustrating and you had no defense to enemies, but Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell brings a whole new light to working undercover.

I suggest to play the game in hard mode, even for your first try, because the game is relatively easy in the other level of difficulty, normal. I was hooked after 20 minutes of playing the game and have no intent on trading the game in.

wow

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is great. I am totally addicted to it. In how many games do you get to sneek up behind people and put them in a chokehold with a gun to their head and force them to do things that you want them to do? How many games are so challenging that if you get heard walking around, you get shot?

Clancy Moves to Video Games

I've been a huge Tom Clancy fan from reading his books. This video game is essentially an interactive look into one of them. All the great characteristics of his books, the complex storylines, the character development, the sweet technology, can be found in Splinter Cell. I'm normally wary about these type of games; they're normally hit or miss with me (e.g. I loved Hitman, but wasn't a big fan of Enter the Matrix). This game, however, hit it big. Rather than being just another shooting game where you run at people with guns raised, this game relies on stealth and patience to get the job done. If you're a fan of this genre of video games, I guarantee that you'll enjoy this one. I'm looking forward to the next installment. Hope this helps with your decision . . . .
