 Not much fun :-( December 15, 2005

Right after the first map I knew I was not going to enjoy Splinter Cell. I was expecting stealth action, similar to the Hitman series, but in truth Splinter Cell offers very little action. Each map plays out like an obsticle course. You merely perform the required action to advance. No thinking is required at all. Your actions are scripted from start to finish. Very dull game.
Pathetic game December 15, 2005

All I can say, is that I'm glad I purchased this game at a bargain price. It's total crap. I dont know what game these people are playing, but its not Splinter Cell. Talk about false advertising..
Not what I thought it would be. December 14, 2005

As a fan of stealth games like the Thief series, I thought Splinter Cell would be fun, but its not. In Splinter Cell you have absolutely no freedom. All the great moves and gadgets the game claims to offer never really come into play. You cant just up and repel of a wall if you want to. You can only do it as part of a heavily scripted sequence, and only at the designated wall in the designated location. Kinda takes the fun out of it. Also when you sneak up behind someone, you have to get close enough for some bizzare antiquated menu to drop down, and then you select the appropriate action. I should not need to go through all that nonsense just to hit someone. The game was boring. It was simplistic and required no thought or strategy.
If you want stealth action check out any of the Thief offerings, Splinter Cell was a major let down, in my oppinion.
This is YAWN FEST of the Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 14, 2005

Splinter Cell is the most boring linear OVER-HYPED waste of time in video game history. There's no exploration, no alternative path to victory. You either do it Tom Clancy's way, or go put the game away. Honestly I had more fun playing Pong 30 years ago. Hell at least that game had some replay value.
"Here take this gun, oh by the way, if you kill anyone the mission is a failure"
"OH um why do I have this gun than?"
"So we can market this game as a shooter, even though everybody under the sun knows its not; except the pre-schoolers writing these reviews and hailing this game as a five star must have"
"WOW I didn't know Tom Clancy was so popular in kindagarten!"
"Oh he's a God with them"
Incredible game !!! December 11, 2005

All I can say is this is an awesome game !!! cool graphics .... realistic sound.... sam fisher has a whole a lot of gadgets... makes you feel as if you are watching a movie. The most important thing i liked in this game is the game scripting and screenplay. You should know when and what should be the next move. you should look for secret openings, ladder and other stuff. There will no pointers in the game (as in call of duty, medal of hornor) which will guide you to next location.... its all left to the player to discover these things.
I would stongly recommend this game
