Splinter Cell meet McGayver

User Rating: 5.8 | Cold War PC
By serial007 | Review Date:
The concept is good, an American Journalist in the USSR, discovers a plot to kill the president of the USSR, but gets labelled a spy, and he is the only one that can save the presidents life.

I really wanted to life this game, I really did. I’m not a big Splinter Cell fan, but like this type of game. However I just felt the main characters skills were way to un-believable. How is a journalist suppose to know how to make a bomb with some tape and a bullet, how does use a gun with pin point accuracy, and how come the soldiers never see or hear him?

The overall story is good, graphics are ok, but the voice acting is horrible. If this game was a little more polished it could be a hit, but for the price it’s not so bad.
