    Cooler still, you can fire a weapon called a sticky bomb that plants itself on a wall and detonates when you hit your GBA's A button. [June 2003, p.42]

    With its incredible gameplay, excellent atmosphere and great graphics, Splinter Cell is a great game that shouldn’t be missed by any self respecting GameCube owner.

    Just a little underdeveloped. A little more freedom of play and movement would have done justice to the original ideas, then the hype would have been justified.

    It is amazing how one little thing can totally kill a game. Beautiful graphics, cool ideas, all blown away by the lack of an active camera mode. The camera in this game is terrible. I spend most of the time trying to keep Sam looking in the direction I am going. How hard would it be to add some good control options huh? It is frustrating because once you become an ace at 1st or 3rd person shooters on a PC, using any console gamepad is like playing with an interntional handicap. Sorry, but it is true.… Expand
