ActiveXbox.com: Splinter Cell - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveXbox.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
Todd has just posted his long over due Splinter Cell review. Here's an excerpt: Splinter Cell has some of the most advanced lighting effects ever. If you have read many other reviews for the game, this will sound clichéd, but I have no idea how they are going to port this to the PS2. After the training session, you are thrown right into the action… sort of. In the beginning of the first mission, you must rush through a burning building to find someone trapped in the rubble. The fire is remarkable. If you look real close, you can pick up patterns in the flames (especially during the movie), but unless you look at it with an extremely critical eye, you will be amazed. This is just a sample of the lighting effects to come. | ||

This is one of the most fun games I've ever played.
I can't tell you how many times I used to pretend I was a special ops commando guy when I was a kid. This game actually let me act it out. It is a MUST HAVE for any Xbox owner. |

| This is my first review, so please be gentle everyone :) |

I know an acquaintance at Ubisoft who handed me this gave for free. :-)
I guess that they give each employee there a whole bunch of samples. |

A friend of mine said that this game was great, and I'm thinking about buying it. I saw in on sale for $42. I'm hoping that the price goes down further.
I also managed to purchase Xbox Live and Mech Assult both for $79. |

I have completed this game and found it to be enjoyable except for a few things
1. The ending totally sucked, I was prepared for the battle of all battles, I open a door and it was over. The ending was easier that some of the other sections. 2. You can only scale certain things, that sucked. Many times there were poles and other things that would have been great to climb. 3. To be honest some sections were impossible to pass without some assistance (guides). 4. I never had a reason to use that "Split Jump" move. 5. You couldn't shoot out all light. For example in the allyway you could not shoot out certain street lights. 6. You can't hide the dogs. I wanted to shoot and hide the dogs but couldn't :( 7. It would be cool to be able to pick up amo for the enemy like Halo. 8. That oil rig board had no purpose. 9. Sometimes I swear that I was site and they would walk right by me. Other times I new I was "invisible" and they would still find me. 10. The sniper gun "holding your breath" was amusing but annoying. 11. No cooperative mode :( . It would be sweet for you and buddy to complete this game together. I can only imagine the possibilities. |

| I like the game, not as much as I thought I would do as there was something that didn't feel right yet I could never put my finger on it. Shame it didn't turn out to be an exclusive. |

| macrosslover understates the difference between the XBox and PS2 versions of this game. On a PS2, the game is barely above average. On the XBox... the game is super clean. The difference, in my opinion is like the difference between a DVD and a videotape. |

Looks good but I want more than eye candy. I will wait for a review. Also I made a promise not to buy any game that is not Xbox Live enabled.

| #19 - why Mooresa, last time I played it and saw it running it sucked big time, thats why it was delayed. |
| #11 By 3653 (216.153.67.116) at 1/28/2003 5:06:25 PM |
| #21 - i haven't played it, but the screenshots and in-game clips look incredible. I might also confess that the squad-based games are special to me. |
