This game is a MAJOR dissapointment
Graphics: Wow. This would look great if it were on the NES! The character models, enviorments, and animations are all horrible. Also, the framerate has got to be the worst I have ever seen in a game. Splinter Cell DS fails miserably in this catagory.
Sound: The music is grainy and repeats over and over again throughout the level. Also, when you use a vision mode, the music cuts out completly. Splinter Cell DS again fails miserably.
Gameplay: The controls are actually alright. You use the touch screen for the camera and to aim. The problem is that it is simply boring. There is zero tension or excitement. Case in point, I was playing it at night in bed. I was so board that I actually fell asleep. That's how scary boring it is. Splinter Cell DS once again fails.
Story: Same as Chaos Theory, which is good.
Portability: The missions are rather long, but with save points often, so the play sessions can be short if you only are waiting for the bus.
Polish: The game has many bugs and glitches, which is a shame.
Overall: This game depresses me. I love Splinter Cell. I really do. This game is still simply too bad for me to enjoy. The DS simply can't handle it. Hopefully the PSP iteration will be better, because a portable Splinter Cell would be awsome.
