Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the Splinter Cell series but it is definitely reaching the end of its life cycle. Other than the visual boost it received on the behalf of the 360's processing power it is much the same as its predecessors. The guys at Ubi did a great job with the game (as usual) but they didn't do anything to advance the genre. When the original Splinter Cell game came out along with Metal Gear it was such a novel concept. Now, some six or seven years later the gameplay is getting played out. Once again, I still enjoyed the game--I always do. However, it would have been nice to see a noticable departure from the standard sneak and slash game that we have become accustomed to. That being said, visually the game was stunning. It definitely brought a greater sense of verisimilitude to the series what with the graphical enhancements made to the game. Beyond that however, the game is no different than any other Splinter Cell game. If you were bored after the last three don't bother with this one. If, on the other hand, you just can't get enough of Sam Fisher, give this one a try.
