Some problems, but a must have for SP fans!!!
User Rating: 8.3 | Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Essentials PSP
I have played all the games in the series and I have to say that this is not the best, but it is fun to play. I know that it is on a handheld system so the graphics and game play are not going to be great, but they are good for a handheld. The only problem is that most of the time you have to have on nightvision to see where to go. The controls are a little different because of the lack of a second analog stick but you get use to it. The storyline line is pretty neat because you get to see Sam before he became a Splinter Cell and how he became who he is now. Some missions are from the earlier games, but they are a little different so you can't just go by memory. Another con is that the load times can be kind of long. I timed one at almost two minutes once. You can save at any point in the game so you can play and don't have to worry about losing your progress if you have to shut down. Overall I would say if you havn't played any of the earlier games you might not enjoy this one, but if you are a Splinter Cell fan, like me, then this game should give enough of a fix until Double Agent is out.
