If you like stealth then this should the game for you.
In splinter cell you will have to sneak around places, stick to the shadows and kill your enemies from behind. Its sounds like fun and it is. On Splinter cell you will start the game with a training mission. This training mission will let you do all the cool moves that Sam Fisher can do. You can climb poles, put your back against walls, climb fences and even slide down zip wires. In a way these moves remind me of Lara Croft.
Splinter cell uses alot of light and darkness. To not get caught you will have to stay in the darkness. You should avoid light as much as you can if you are in a tight position. Cameras are always around and you will have to shoot these cameras sometimes if you are out of options to sneak past it. The character models look very good and I can't pick out a bad point with the graphics.
There isn't much music on splinter cell. Usually stealth games dont have much music anyway so its ok. When there is music it sounds very detailed. Michael Ironside does a fantastic job of the voice actor of Sam Fisher. His voice is a deep tone and suits the character of Sam Fisher very well.
There are 10 missions on Splinter Cell. Each mission has about 3 or 4 short levels. This may seem short but really its not. Its also quite hard sometimes so this might take more time than you would expect. There is no multiplayer on Splinter Cell which is a shame but oh well you cant have everything.
If you like stealth then this should be the game you. There arent many down sides to Splinter cell which is great. The gameplay, the graphics, the sound, everything is pretty much fine.
