  1. The stealth adventure genre doesn't get any better than this. [Christmas 2006, p.95]

    A major leap forward for the series and, at least in my opinion, gets better and better the more I play it.
  3. A tightly written story with multiple endings and difficult choices would make this the best "Splinter Cell" game to date...if it had been released in a finished state. [Feb. 2007, p.62]

    Well, this game is flippin' awesome!! But, I read the reviews above and everyone is complaining about the P.C version!!! EVERYONE knows that if you're going to get games with top-of-the-line graphics, you have to get it for a console, unless you have an extremely good video card! I'd say you're free to your opinion, but you don't need to complain if you have a console where you can truly enjoy the game. These people are basing their ratings on how the game RUNS, not how it actually PLAYS. I suggest you put the proper rating for the playing, and then write about how it runs. Expand

    This game would have taken an 8, but unfortunately it is full of bugs. Seriously, I've never seen a game so full of glitches. For example, you can't change video configurations. Multiplayer is good, and the plot is cool. Expand

    Very disappointing effort, Ubi. You were doing so well with the ports from the last three Splinter Cell games, what happened here? The safe cracking barely works, the unlocks don't appear in my inventory, no matter what I do, the story seems to have been cut in half so the extra space could be used to make things shinier. And that's not even getting into the "streamlined" multiplayer. The story mode is good...while it lasts. But if you want a good Splinter Cell game, I'd suggest sticking with Chaos Theory. Expand
