Splinter Cell Is Still A Damn Good Stealth Game | Nostalgia Trip

I replayed Splinter Cell a few months back, really did enjoy it. I really like the urban and indoors environments and the whole "cyber warfare" theme. I've only played the first one, Pandora Tomorrow and Blacklist, and while I like Pandora Tomorrow, I feel like the outdoorsy and "exotic" locations in that game weren't as cool as those in the original game.

By the way I should go on Steam and buy Chaos Theory, missed that game and I only hear good things about it.

Agreed. I loved these games back in the day. They have the first 3 on a collection disc for PS3, just FYI everyone.

@nibbin1191: God I hope so! We really need another SC game. I loved Blacklist and it looked fantastic on the 360; imagine how great a new one would look on the One / PS4!

I actually still have my 360 copy - back compat please MS!!!

@nibbin1191: Fingers crossed.

Splinter Cell combined the setpiece driven nature of Metal Gear Solid and some of the analogue mechanical considerations of Thief, along with its own overreliance on heavy scripting constantly tethering players. Context sensitive interactions were also painfully digital and meshed badly with the rest of the gameplay implementation. It has aged very poorly and the characters suck.

PLEASE MORE such articles/videos and LESS potato mode crap!!!

Such videos and articles are so much better, you are doing the gaming community a huge favor and might even promote the younger folks to try those games too as they missed out on the golden days of offline long amazing SP campaigns.

Interesting video. I still haven't beat first splinter cell game (let alone s.c. blacklist).

Best stealth game to to fully use shadows and lighting. Conviction was a letdown because they removed the darkness out of it, ruining the game.

Your mama is a pretty damn good stealth game.

I suggest the next game to be F.E.A.R. it still holds up incredible well for a 13 year old game and in my opinion no other FPS shooter since has match it's amazing firefights.

Chaos Theory struck the perfect balance between stealth "puzzle" and action. You could shoot your way through the level, but you'd run out of ammo really quickly, and would probably die. Plus the inclusion of lethal and nonlethal options on all levels really expanded my ability to RP the character. Who deserves to die, and who deserves to be knocked out?

Also, playing Chaos Theory and Hitman: Blood Money right around the same time was pure magic. Two great stealth action games.

Splinter Cell IS still a darn good stealth game, and boy howdy does that series need to come back.
