    These were some of the hottest games of its time, remember that the versions were the best PC and X-Box, and the PS2 and Gamecube versions graphically below.

    Glad to know that these HD versions were made over the PC versions, so I could only play on PS2 in the past, I can take advantage of these masterpieces in their best quality at last!

    One of many HD collections that came out in the last years but was this one took seriously by the studio or even wanted by the public ?

    Technically this is a bad remaster with almost 0 improvement on the original games. They worked perfectly but the main point of a remaster should be to take advantage of the new hardware. Gameplay wise Splinter Cell was always meant to be the    One of many HD collections that came out in the last years but was this one took seriously by the studio or even wanted by the public ?

    Technically this is a bad remaster with almost 0 improvement on the original games. They worked perfectly but the main point of a remaster should be to take advantage of the new hardware.

    Gameplay wise Splinter Cell was always meant to be the challenger of Metal Gear Solid on infiltration and it succeeded in this goal, of course sometime the IA is a bit dumb like in all infiltration game but that's normal if not it wouldn't be that much entertaining. You can clearly see the evolution of the franchise through those 3 episodes, they're all good but Chaos Theory is a true gem with a refined formula. Too bad they chose a more action focused direction for the following games.

    Concerning the story it's realistic geo-politics in the body of a true special agent and it has nothing to envy to a saga like Mission Impossible. To finish the three games you can count between 10 to 12 hours for each game so it makes for a total around 35 hours which is very correct.

    So in conclusion the original games are very good and if you didn't play them, specially Chaos Theory, and like spy stuff you should definitively buy this collection but the quality of the remaster doesn't add enough value if you already played them.    … Expand

    I was a BIG fan of the Splinter Cell Series then, and I am still one now. It's great to be able to go back and re-play these awesome games for only $39.99. The graphics could have been upgraded a little bit better, especially the cut-scenes, but over all, still a great remake!! PLEASE release Conviction for PS3!

    I give it a 10! Yes it's overrated, but it's based on the fun value. And it's sentimental as I'm a huge fan of the first three games on PC. If you're like me, don't worry about the average ratings, you'll love playing Sam on your wide screen TV with a gamepad, especially Chaos Theory which I found graphically beautiful (almost as nowadays standards) with a very good frame rate.

    As much as I liked playing again SC 1, I can't say that Pandora Tomorrow aged very well, though. It does have some frame rate issues, and I didn't play it to the end as I was too much frustrated by ta Sam that feel so underpowered compared to its enemies. Because of this, I should have rated it lower, but, ah... No way! :-)    … Expand

    The lack of multiplayer is disappointing. [Issue#210, p.92]

    Despite their past success, Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory make for a less than impressive HD package. [Dec 2011, p.77]

    This collection just feels like a quick cash grab aimed at people who have never played a Splinter Cell game before. This collection may appeal to the hardcore Splinter Cell fans but outside of pleasing diehard fans, these games could be completely unmissed.
