Ok so I finished this game recently.. Let me start off by saying I was VERY disappointed. Not only was this game just a bunch of rehashed missions from the original Splinter Cell games, but it has incredibly long load times. This bugs me alot. I really enjoy the Splinter Cell series. But the handheld version really needed more time during its development cycle. It feels rushed and the story segments in-between missions really just bring up more questions than answers. The controls aren't half bad in my opinion, and the camera worked really nicely, I just wish there was more variety in the missions. Once again I have to mention that most of the missions in this game are old missions from the three original Splinter Cells, with the exception of 2 levels. I got the game foe 19.99 at Best Buy, but if I could do it all over again, I would have bought Syphon Filter on PSP. At least that game kicks serious ass
