splinter cell is a bad franchise.

after pandora tomorow the franchise went downhill. the game has nothing innovative going for it, and flop on every platform except xbox and xbox360. each iteration feels more like an expansion pack instead of a new game. and ubisoft needs to stop spamming us with this game. the franchise is not even 5 years old and there is already more than 6 games available. WTF!! every year there is a new splinter cell announcement, with a lot of promises and let downs.

the game is just like battlefield or UT2004 in terms of story. its just there to give you a reason to sneak and not to entertain you. and with double agents major let down in the multiplayer department. the game was nothing more than a passing nightmare in gamers mind.

i feel like splinter cell is the new madden.

If I didn't own a 360, I might not like Splinter Cell either...but I guess I'm just lucky that I didn't make the mistake of buying a console that can't deliver. 

I think Halo is one of those franchise that is above over rated. Never have I played a game that has one of the most suckiest single player campaign as bad as hslo, and so, let the flaming begin.......

I partly agree, yet I disagree. I lpayed most of the single player game on the xbox, then recently, I bought the PC version. The moment the game got to the flood, the moment the game started to suck. Then I played alittle bit of halo 2 since I don't have the game, and found that to be one of the most over rated single player mode as well. I just see why people like it so much.....

I enjoyed the first one. The flood was not original, but you had to give them props for changing the gameplay. Fighting only covenant would have gotten really boring. Yes, the flood could have been much better. But I had a decent time. Although I do agree, Halo 2's campaign sucked so badly.

Actually, yes, that was one of the things I liked about halo. To have two forces fighting each other was somehing original since I haven't seen something like that. I usually set back and let the covenant and the floods duke it out. But the floods was very annoying......too annoying to be technical. Those mini floods thingy's were atrociously annoying, the suicidal floods were annoying...........other then that, the other flooods I didn't care about. Using the floods to take care of my covenant problem though was good at times. Other then that, there was absolutely nothing I liked about the game...welll, it's multiplayer was rewarding though...

Yea, like I said. It is very overrated. But I still enjoyed the game. It's no Half Life, thats for sure.

The day people started calling Splinter Cell a bad series was the day Splinter Cell 5 was announced an Xbox 360 exclusive.

splinter cell was never my cup of tea, i played it because it was the only decent MGS clone, just like forza is the only decnt GT clone:| 

A shame the scores they recieved prove you wrong...Verge_6

Neither of them are clones. Just because they are in the same genre, doesn't make them a clone.
Last time I checked, Gran Turismo didn't feature cosmetic damage, online play, vast car customization, complete control over tweaking your car, etc.

Splinter Cell isn't even close to MGS. SC is way more realistic and relies on being stealth alot more. MGS is more action filled and story-driven.

after pandora tomorow the franchise went downhill. the game has nothing innovative going for it, and flop on every platform except xbox and xbox360. each iteration feels more like an expansion pack instead of a new game. and ubisoft needs to stop spamming us with this game. the franchise is not even 5 years old and there is already more than 6 games available.

guess you didn't read the update article, regarding ubis statment...apparently they were misunderstood and said nothing bad about the PS3.

This is the real reason you don't like it. I think you are pissed because the 360 version is better than the PS3 version. At least be honest about it.:P

I'll admit though, Double Agent sucked compared to all of the other Splinter Cell games. That's because Ubi Shanghai did it, not Ubi Montreal who created the series. It seems like they started alternating between titles which isn't a good idea because the quality is inconsistent.

It's like Call of Duty 3, which wasn't done by Infinity Ward and wasn't was good as the previous versions. Now Infinity ward is doing COD 4 and that looks AMAZING.

And I would say that SP:Chaos Theory was better than Pandora Tomorrow. Much better.

this is a problem with all franchises done by large publishers. The development teams get pushed to do a new game every year to keep the cash rolling in..It's unfortunate, but that's the business and it's only going to get worse.

This guy has got it right. And Forza series actually surpasses GT series. 

Erm... how many spin off's, remakes and re-releases of games have there been in series like Zelda, Mario, Madden, Metal Gear, and, my personal favourite, Final Fantasy?

That's right - a hell o fa lot more than Splinter Cell. Splinter Cell is a revered series, developed by some of the best in the business and always receiving consistently high scores.

I see by your sig you are a MGS fan. Tell you what, play that - because it is not in competition with Splinter Cell. They may be the same genre, but they do not play like one another at all.

Splinter Cell stories are consistently the best in gaming. Not only have they won awards, but there are books, fan-fiction and more about Splinter Cell, Third Echelon and more. Tom Clancy is a major contributor.

Splinter Cell is nowhere near a bad franchise. It is up there with the best gaming has to offer, and as a series whole, is some of the best and most enjoyable gaming available.
