Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Author Tom Clancy has written some fine novels, and UbiSoft has written some great games based on these works; Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is one such release. This one is a bit different, however: it models itself on that champion of espionage Metal Gear Solid 2, which, as it happens, is a good thing.
As Sam Fisher, you're out to save the world from international terrorism. In doing this, stealth is of paramount importance. Splinter Cell makes terrific use of light and shadows in this regard. If Sam Fisher stays in the dark, he is less likely to be seen; but equipped with night-vision goggles you're not hindered by the lighting effects. It's a clever system that creates some memorable scenes and adds to the sensation of being undercover.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a supremely balanced game. The initial training received is just long enough, gameplay is perfectly weighted between stealth and action, and the blend of different objectives in missions ensures that the experience never becomes a chore. This is as compelling a spy game as you'll ever play. --Jonti Davies
This review refers to the Xbox version of the game.

My review for splinter cell [gamecube],
By
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (GameCube) (Video Game)
This game is a tense thrilling game of skill and fun. It is tactical and sometimes annoying but getting there in the end is always such a sense of acheivement. You will need to think hard and look after your bullets as much as you can, as well as how much alarms you have set off! You always have to keep a close eye on your health because the damage of bullets is extremely realistic. Splinter Cell is great game for people who have been gaming for quite a while. It is rather expensive but very wortwhile those car washes and dog walks!! I recommend this to experienced gamers.

Very good but could have been great,
By
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (GameCube) (Video Game)
Splinter Cell is a very good game. From the presentation and story through to the graphics and the all important gameplay it's a winner. It does become a little unfair in terms of save points and difficulty during the late stages, but it's worth the perseverence. Recommended for fans of stealth/combat/shoot em ups and adventure games in general.

Hide and Do not seek,
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (GameCube) (Video Game)
A devious game full of skill and cunning. Hiding bodies, killing knocking the baddies out and figuring out codes. Like resident evil without the monsters.Exciting and challenging until the end.
