    This game really rocks. I really like it and I have also played the origin version on Xbox. I think this GC-version is even better, because GC-players will get more bonuses than Xbox-players. Buy this game, you won't be disappointed.

    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!).

    This game sucks!! Boring, stupid Ai, linear level design. It is just one narrow straight line the levels!!!!

    This is a great game. Not very often do games emphasize stealth instead of brute force. James Bond games are not meant for stealth (no matter how much it says it is). The only criticism I would have is that the pick-ups should be easier to see, since most of the time you are in the dark.

    This game is really cool. the fact that you control a spy is awesome. ive played the xbox version but the gamecube version is way better cause it has extras and the controls are way more responsive(gotta admit xbox controls suck hard). get it now!!!

    I have played this game on my Friends XBOX, and I have got to be honest. It played and sounded better on the Xbox. I have Spinter Cell on my Game Cube, but The xbox version is better. Oh well, I dont care. You've got to congradulate Mircrosft , for making one hell of a console. Ohh btw The Playstation Version looks totally rubbish(no joke).

    It is amazing how one little thing can totally kill a game. Beautiful graphics, cool ideas, all blown away by the lack of an active camera mode. The camera in this game is terrible. I spend most of the time trying to keep Sam looking in the direction I am going. How hard would it be to add some good control options huh? It is frustrating because once you become an ace at 1st or 3rd person It is amazing how one little thing can totally kill a game.

    Awesome and compelling... having problems already... And i've only beat the 1st mission! Also, its very lifelike--as lets say you jump from a 10 ft high building, you'll take life(a lot in this game...)

    This is the first game in the classic Splinter Cell series. This is a hardcore stealth game. The voice acting is superb and the story is marvelous. This is a must play and own for stealth fans.

    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.
