Splinter Cell is a so-so game, what you call 'only interested if that rare mood hits' the whole game consistes of hiding and sneaking, that can be fun but get annoying when a guard catches a glimps of you and comes to investigate, thats when you MUST fight! when there is nowhere to hide! and I have news... You can't! LOL doesn't that sound fun? if you run out of ammo for your tiny last years pistol, the only physical attack you can do while beinf fired at is elbow in the face, hmm... Guard with gun VS Splinter with elbow... Wow, that'll win it.
Good happy things:
You can hide most of the time.
Realistic.
BEST graphics I've ever encountered!
Good missions.
Fun to jump out at people for behind.
Not so happy good things:
Junk weapon! carrys LITTLE amounts of ammo and you never find reloads.
Can't use enemy weapons.
Don't have a knife or any secondary weapon (retired Navy Seal? you'd think he'd sleep with a knife under his pellow.)
Once your found it's almost hopeless to get to safety.
Lacks a 2-player co-op mode.
Lacks choice of level completeion.
Very resticting.
Hard to find weapon & health items (about 1 per level, up to 3 if your lucky)
A little hard to control and keep the camera steadily behind character.
Surpirises 99% of time unpleasant. (I hope you like surprises)
So alltogether it forces me to rank it 3 stars... I would like to give it 5 but I would be lieing. I've had fun here and there but it's more like going to work rather than the beach.
Rent first, everyone has their own opinion.
