    With its incredible gameplay, excellent atmosphere and great graphics, Splinter Cell is a great game that shouldn’t be missed by any self respecting GameCube owner.

    Even though you get more varied action from a "Metal Gear Solid," what's here is so well designed, I remained jaw-dropped impressed from start to finish. [June 2003, p.126]

    The single most immersive action gaming experience I have ever had. Every element – graphics, gameplay, sound, story – works together to form a very cohesive unit and blow your little gaming mind.

    This version of Splinter Cell disappointingly doesn’t measure up to the superior versions on the Xbox, PS2, and PC, although it’s still a decent mission for the GameCube.

    PERFECT. The graphics for the Gamecube version are still excellent, still quite comparable to the Xbox version. Controls are the best on PERFECT. The graphics for the Gamecube version are still excellent, still quite comparable to the Xbox version. Controls are the best on Gamecube (of course) and the GBA connectivity feature is...dandy. My friends have it on PS2 and PC and when we compared them all, GC prevailed. If you like action games, definitely get this brand new stealth action game (especially if u have a GBA!).… Expand
