Splinter Cell

I play this on XBOX over PS2, and was just wondering what you lot all thought of it......

I'm on the third mission, its a decent game.......Not sure if I prefer it over MGS2, but we'll have to wait til the end.

How good does it really rate in your eyes?

What about the difficulty?

Fantastic Game! No set way to complete any level - though some are easier than others. Some tasks are easy - some are VERY hard. Great replayability.

Enjoy!

Played the PC version, good game... graphics were good, gameplay was very good, overall I'd give it a 8 out of 10, it was too short for my taste.

U2 has better graphics and good gameplay, Mafia has similar graphics and better gameplay. I wish they'd design the games for the PC and THEN simplify them for consoles instead of direct porting games from consoles to the PC. I guess I'll just have to wait for Doom III and get a U2 fix on occasion.

I finished the game twice on the "normal" setting for the PC version. Most of the missions are quite fun except for the Oil Rig missions because stealth is not employed much there and the mission is a little too short.

For the most part, this game is quite fun to play but the campaign is a bit on the short side. Overall, I will go with Thoran's recommendation, a 8/10. Thumbs up!

I might be wrong but I think I've heard that an exp. set is on the way (or am I thinking of Delta Force Black Hawk Down?).

i agree. Also is it just me or does anyone else think he looks like George Clooney?

Decent game for what I've played when I rented it. But as stated in a review I read on the game in either OPM or GameInformer (can't remember which) alot of the level completion is trial-and-error.

Funny that you mentioned that. The first time I saw Sam Fisher, I thought to myself, "Oh my god, he looks just like George Clooney!". It is a real shame that they didn't get him to the voice overs for Sam Fisher.

I'm not liking it very much. Combat usually gets me killed in a hurry. On X-box is there a good way to aim?? The 1st-person aiming mechanism is Sloooooww.
