    It's never as tense as its console sibling, and it suffers from a few frustrating flaws, but the core sneak 'em up gameplay - evading enemies and cameras, silencing alarms, collecting data and using your spy tools - is well represented.

    It's a good game, but it lacks the qualities that make the greats - the Marios, Castlevanias, and Metroids - absolute must-haves. [June 2003, p.79]

    This game suffers from the fact that its console counterpart is so amazing and that it seems to distance itself from that greatness.

    This version of Splinter Cell is a good enough game on its own merits to tide over Splinter Cell fans looking for a portable version or GBA owners looking for a briskly paced game to have on the go.

    All the pipe crawling and shadow sneaking give SC diversity other GBA adventures lack. [June 2003, p.127]

    A good enough game in its own right although it's a poor substitute for the real experience.
