Sam's third installment... and his best, too.
The graphics are amazing, even for the GameCube. But sometimes you have to change from night vision to regular vision, but thats not too bad. The game sounds amazing too. When you slice through an enemy with your new KNIFE, it sounds real.
A knife isn't Sam's only new toy, his good ol' SC20K has a few new upgrades too. You now get to choose between attachments for your weapon to eather kill, or KO. You get to use the old laucher attachment, to launch sticky shockers, sticky cameras, gas greanades, etc. New attachments include the foregrip attachment, which will help you shoot full-auto by giving you a stable platform. A new shotgun will help you out very well, but does make a lot of noise. The most effective attachment will probably be the sniper, and yes, you already have a sniper. But this one, this one can shoot through cover, like doors. You can also zoom in about 3 times, to pick off targets far away.
The controls take a little time to get used to. Because you have to make certain combinations involving the Z button. Like to use your EEV(binoculers), you have to hold the Z button and quickly pull down on the C-stick. You can also switch hands, to shoot around corners.
To someone who has played all of the other Splinter Cells on this system, this game will be, the best in the series.
