Editorial Reviews :
James Bond... Solid Snake... Ethan Hunt... Based on their recent games, all these so-called superspies could stand to take a few lessons from newcomer Sam Fisher. His name isn't important; the important thing is that his game, Splinter Cell, comes from Tom Clancy's game studio and offers up the kind of sophistication and control you'd expect from the studio that brought gamers Rainbow Six. It's all about the details. When Sam enters a dark area, he's got two options, thermal and night vision. Thermal lets him see the body heat of an enemy soldier, even through walls and doors. Shoot through cover with a high-powered weapon, and you can watch as the heat fades from the body. Not dark yet? Shoot out the lights. Need a distraction? Pick up and toss a tin can. Come up to a door too thick to pass thermal readings? Sneak up to it, slip a fiber-optic lead under the door frame, and peek at what's beyond. When you're ready, open the door--just a little bit at a time. While Splinter Cell lacks a famous hero in the lead role, it does sport the famous technical military thriller author Tom Clancy in the title. And you can see the evidence of his expertise in every facet of the game. Who needs the baggage of Metal Gear Solid 2 when Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell brings you better weapons, better controls, better graphics, better spy toys, and a coherent story?
Buyer Reviews :
This game beats Metal Gear to the ground. After being rather disappointed by MGS2, I began to look for another stealth based game. I found this in Splinter Cell. In this game, Sam Fisher may interact with anything that could prove useful to his mission. You can actually throw a glass bottle, creating a distraction. The stealth meter is something that MGS could really have used, instead of that Soliton Radar. The gameplay has an extended learning curve, but it is still enjoyable. In MGS, you can run to the next area, escaping guards, but in Splinter Cell if you are spotted, many times you are ... If you are patient and enjoyed Metal Gear, I'd recommend this, but understand: This is far from a MGS2 copy (No annoying story, that seems to go on endlessly). Also, the graphics are something you have to see to believe.
