Okay first off, this game has a weird plot that eventually will make sense. Sam Fisher has been framed or so we thought and is being interrogated. This game allows you to revisit some of Fisher's old missions. Now though the missions may seem similar to it's ps2& xbox cousins, usually there's a twist. For instance, certain objectives may be different and mabey a few new ways to play. Sure the camera control is crazy bad, but once you get used to it there's really nothing to complain about. Too bad the game is so dark though. I mean I know it's Splinter Cell and all, but this is just a bit too dark if you ask me. That's really my only complaint about the game. It'll take you at least 8 hours to beat so it's resonably long being it's a PSP game.
This is definatley tons better than that garbage Chaos Theory on the DS! The graphics are about 30% worse than the ps2, but like I said, it's only a handheld and Ubisoft tried really hard. Mabey the next Splinter Cell game will be better but this is good for now.
