Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Reviews
The AI are completely unpredictable as people have said. Not in a, oh they're acting human unpredictable, but as in one person may be standing right next to you and not see you, while a person far away will be shooting at you. In a stealth game that means doom in my opinion. Then later on he takes it back after you travel rather randomly through a building and tells you you can go where ever. But you really can't even get to the streets, they're all blocked off by gates.
Thief Bundle: Thief 1 and 2 I cannot vouch for three as I have never played it, but the first two are pure gold in stealth.
If you like stealth games I would seriously recommend purchasing either Thief 1 or Thief 2, or both. This game is incredibly linear with pretty much only one way to do things.
I find that the storyline is based around whatever level designs people decided on, rather then levels based around storyline. And what is with the random ziplines.
BUT you can only go on the streets due to the limitations of the game.
For example, the first level the guy directing you is telling you to stay off the street because you want to avoid the cops. Graphics are fine but that is really all it has going for it.
So farand again, I'm hoping my lack of enthusiasm will vanish by Cell's half-way pointI'm just bored: I need explosions, blood, and gadgets galore, accompanied by an enthralling score that is a bombastic as the explosions. Again, I'm hoping this review is premature; I'm hoping that at some point during the game Sam Fischer will stand erect, take aim and let the bullets fly.I'm hoping. What I don't need is crouching and crawling and creeping around while trying to avoid what I want most: action, confrontation, and destruction. I normally don't review a game before I've completed it, but, a quarter through, I feel the need to write a few words about Splinter Cell, a game which, for me, requires too much stealth. I've been hearing great things about this shooter for years, but now that I'm playing it I just don't understand what all the fuss was about. If anything, this game, so far, has made me appreciate even more a game I loved from the instant I pressed "start": Project Snowblind, an action-packed, though underrated extravaganza of bullets, bombs, great graphics and terrific music.
Splinter Cell is obviously a secret-agent-who-gets-things-done kind of game. Even though this not as advanced as MGS2 as ar as character moves go, it still has plenty of cool moves. The storyline is interesting, but not terribly original.
All in all, a very fun game. Whenever you's out of bullets, you can still knock out your enemies by shooting them with your sticky-cameras. What is fun is watching the 'News' in the Splinter Cell world.
Guns are sparse, but you learn to love the ones you get. First things first.if you want a slash-and-run game, this is not what you're looking for. The action in this game is similar to Metal Gear Solid 2.
But after about 5 hours of playing, I started to get the "hang" of it. You must sneak around, do things quietly, and be sure not sound too many alarms or your mission is aborted and you lose. I myself am so used to running into a room and shooting everything in sight. Right off the bat, this game takes some getting used to.
I loved this game so much that I decided to buy the second game in the series, Pandora Tomorrow. From that point on, I became addicted. This game simply does not allow this kind of gameplay. Either way, you are constantly concealing you actions by hiding bodies and keeping to the shadows. I have to say, I was really skeptical about this series. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the dated graphics and the need for improvement in other areas. Needless to say I was not dissapointed.
The gadgets and weapons that are available are also very cool and fun to use. At first, I found this gameplay to be very frustrating. Some missions you can kill your enemies, other times you must simply knock them out. There are so many replayability options, so many different ways to complete a mission, that the game never loses its fun. Not just the controls, but the way in which the game works. Rather, I was pleasantly surprised with the results.
But hey, I figured I would give it a shot. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a different, yet extremely enjoyable game, look no further. You may need to look at a walkthrough now and then, but other than that the game is basically trial and error. I mean, a whole game based on stealth. Splinter Cell is a great game.
really good on spying Halo Combat Evolved & Rainbow six were a knock-out at the time. Well, Tom Clancy first made the books, now video games. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. This game was cool on spying.
