Summary

Game Description

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell by Ubisoft for the PS2 invites gamers to delve into the dark shadows of cyber-terrorism, shadow agencies, and covert operations. The player controls Sam Fisher, a solo operative directed by a top secret, "black ops" wing of the National Security Agency. Alone, yet armed with some of the best hi-tech weapons on the market, Sam walks the fine line between what is legal and what is necessary. He must infiltrate enemy territory and neutralize the opponents -- all without leaving a trace. Sam is called into action when two CIA agents mysteriously disappear in Azerbaijan. What Sam discovers will trigger a technology empowered terrorist war against America backed by the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Sam's mission is to find the source of the threat and eliminate it.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - PS2

Not one of Tom's best.

This game is if anything short. I have to admit it was quite the chalenge but once you understand the akward controls it is easy. I do give the graphics a 5 out of 5. I also give the sound a 4.5 out of 5. If your a steath lover you will like this game. Personaly I think it takes to long to get to the action and moves to slow but thats just me.

An Overrated video game

I played a demo of this game for the O.U.S.P.M.(Official U.S. Playstation Magazine) demo disc, and just by playing the first level i can tell it suck's,....well that aint no suprise rainbow6 for PS1 was pure crap. Tom Clancy might be good at making Milatary novel's but he should shy away from the video game industry

GREAT!

This is a great game! The graphics are better than any PS2 game I have ever seen. The sounds are enjoyable to listen to (Ironside) and bring out the tension in moments. The controls are sooooo simple and easy, that a player is never lost on what to do. The game play is great, the game is pretty tough, yet enjoyable. I really enjoyed this game, and I encourage people to buy the PS2 version, not the GameCube or X-Box.

Not a great game, but worth a try...

I've played both the Xbox and the PS2 versions. I've read all the reviews. I've heard the arguments amongst friends as to why this game is the greatest. And yet, after all that, I still don't see what all the talk is about. Don't bet me wrong, this is a good game. Graphically this game is far superior to many games on the PS2 except for Metal Gear Solid 2. The way that light is portrayed in this game as both your friend and your enemy is darn near perfect. Hiding in the shadows and watching as an armed guard casually walks by completely oblivious to your existence until you lash out and snap his neck is by all means fun. Yet, with all its great points, at the end of the day you just don't feel like picking it up again for another go. Or at least I didn't. The story line was great and told well. Although, I didn't think the ending was well written. The story moves the game along at a good pace thus making every mission, including the new one added for the PS2, seem vital to finishing the game and saving the world. And the added cutscenes not found in the Xbox version give hero Sam Fisher a new level of personality. Now, he's not just a secret agent badass, he's a caring father. You can't really say much about the sound in this game. It is pretty much a quiet atmosphere until stuff starts blowing up and guns start going off. The musical score, however, does a great job of adding to the overall feeling of the gameplay. The controls, at first, were a bit cumbersome. Yet, as you go along they become second nature. However, like I stated earlier, once you've finished the game, there is no real reason to want to play it again. This game is good, but it's strictly a rental.
