  1. While it lacks 3-D graphics and an impressive use of lighting and shadows found in its predecessors, the stealthy action game still captures the thrill of modern espionage.
  2. A good one all around, getting as much gameplay in to the tiny little cartridge as it can. I even find it got the difficulty about right--not too had, not too easy.
  3. While it’s impossible to display all of the innovative features of the console version, Splinter Cell for the GBA is still able to capture all the intensity and thrilling action.
  4. This game suffers from the fact that its console counterpart is so amazing and that it seems to distance itself from that greatness.

    This game is fun for all the sneaking around but it is also a very short game! I beat this game within 2 short days of playing it. Not Enough shooting. Lost of sneaking around. I sold Splinter Cell and bought Zelda:link to the past for GBA "a awsome game" 10 Expand
