Video Game Reviews of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Customer Review: An absolute must-buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Splinter Cell was one of the biggest titles of last year, for the Xbox. It is now on Gamecube, and this is easily the best version yet. Graphics are the best yet on Gamecube, and look just as good as the Xbox version. The stealth gameplay is unparallelled on Gamecube, matched only by PS2's METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SUBSTANCE. You can hook it up to the Game Boy Advance to use it's screen as a radar, and get five bonus missions in the GBA version. This game is a must-buy.Customer Review: HOLY RACCOON AND SPYES A REVEW BY THE ONE AND ONLY ANDRE P

Customer Review: The most fun you can have playing with yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this game because I was never much of a fan of the Rainbow Six series but people told me this game was good. They weren't wrong, this game is fantastic. Along the same lines as other sneak titles like Hitman and Thief, this game requires the player rely on stealth more than firepower. However, that isn't to say that it doesn't have its splendid moments of gratifying carnage. Let me put it into bulletpoints.1) This game has some of the best AI I have ever seen in a game. The enemy actively searches you out and is excellent at taking cover and even at pinning you down. It even has the enemy work as a team at times - which can be frustrating yes, but always fun.
2) Graphics are top notch. I really can't emphasize this enough. I'm still astounded by the amount of care that went into designing this game.
3) There are so many ways to dispatch with your enemy - take your pick. Grenades, bullets, sniper rifle, various stun weapons, even a bottle to the head. There is definite replayability here.
4) Cool, cool gadgets. Including a nice pair of night vision goggles with an infared setting.
5) Decent cutscenes - they could have been better
6) The fact that you can take the enemy hostage and use him as a human shield was a definite plus.
7) Challenging, but not impossible. I usually end up getting frustrated and cheat with most games. Not the case here. The learning curve is perfect - always a challenge, but I never threw down my controller in disgust (okay, maybe once).
8) Convenient save points prevent you from getting too far and then dying - so you never need to restart from the beginning of a level. Best of all, its automatic.
While the game has its frustrations - sometimes mission objectives can be a bit muddy and there are levels where you can't kill anyone (including a super cool level in which you break into the CIA) forcing you to rely on arguably less entertaining non-lethal methods of dispatching with your foe - overall this is a solid game worth every gaming penny that you might spend. Although I finished the game in a little over a week of solid play, I will most likely buy it in the near future. I'm sure it will only get better the second time through.
Customer Review: A Great Leap Forward in Hi-Fidelity Simulation
Summary: 4 Stars
Words simply can not do justice to this game. These are the most life-like graphics I have seen in any video game EVER. The camera control is perfect and unlike many other games is a very useful tool. Michael Ironside's voicework and incredible artwork make Sam Fisher the coolest special ops character I have seen. Amazing control and super-cool maneuvers which I will not spoil for you here. The cut scenes are absolutely first class and the extra features are entertaining.Simply put-this game raises the bar for the videogame industry. You can read the other reviews for some more details and minor critiques but I would not hesitate for a second to reccommend this game. This is the best of the best. Enjoy!
