    horrible. Its a joke to see nintendos' seel of approval inside the box. Nintendo should have thrown it back in ubisofts' face and said "we're not selling this crap to our gamers!".since when are x,y,a,b keys used for camera control? Why give us control of the camera at all when fischer takes up the whole upper screen?.Terrible button mapping i bet ubisoft got a romanian preschooler to maphorrible.

I gave it two because 1 it loads, 2 its 3D and 3 my stupid browser wont allow me to choose a lower score.Anyone stupid enough to buy it (myself included) would have been more entertained burning the money, watching the fire dance, rather than spend it on splinter cell. To think it rivals games like starcraft II crysis2 and other epics in price,taking into account it is portable and 3D which push the price up, but i would expect it to be playable.
    DO NOT BY THIS!
    an utter waste of the 3DS' potential

    This game has no-other definition than CRAP. Is like they took the Mobile Phones' Spinter Cell, got it better graphics, worsened the rest a little and sold it as a new game.

    I bought this piece of trash port for 30.00 dollars. I would have had more fun setting my money on fire and watching it burn instead. The controlls are clunky and strange, the enemy spawn is **** and completely unfair. For example on the second level if you initiate an alarm by accident because the game is wonky as far as melee and pacifying enemy's goes wrong(which it will) the gameI bought this piece of trash port for 30.00 dollars. I would have had more fun setting my money on fire and watching it burn instead. The controlls are clunky and strange, the enemy spawn is **** and completely unfair. For example on the second level if you initiate an alarm by accident because the game is wonky as far as melee and pacifying enemy's goes wrong(which it will) the game spawns an enemy behind you! So if you are playing on higher difficultys it becomes a drag to try and stealth through levels, if you can get it to work in your favor that is. The game barely explains the controlls and doesn't explain the non leahal at all, even when I check the tutorial menue it gives me a button to press but when I try it doesn't work! No other extra explanation is given or expanded upon. That combined with the frame rate issues which I expected from a 3ds game like This is worse than expected, the frames dip around ONE ENEMY let alone two, at that point you should just give up.

    In conclusion This game was a waste of my time, money, and 3ds blocks. DON'T BUY IT you'd have a better time spending 30.00 on a better game instead.

    In a nutshell Splinter Cell 3D is a remake the doesn't do justice to the original title.

    If you really want to play Chaos Theory, go find a used copy of the superior original at a fraction of the price.

    In the end, Splinter Cell 3D just feels like a lazy port.
