the last true splinter cell game
If you have played any of the previous 3 splinter cells then you have played this one. The locations and story are obviously different, and quite varied in my opinion, but the gameplay is the same. You sneak around from point A to point B shooting or chocking out those in your way. The level design and enemy placement is very good and the levels are beautifully detailed and showcase everything from large cruise ships to Siberian winters and African warzones.
The controls are spot on, the graphics are clearly next gen and the story is worthy and typical of Tom Clancy.
Overall a great game, and one that must be played if you are a fan of the real Splinter Cell before it was destroyed by Conviction and turned into a Call of Duty clone like so many other great games.
