Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Being a spy is a dream of many people, so I'm guessing your one of those people.  This game is like a window into a awesome world of espionage.

 

GAMEPLAY

In Splinter Cell you sneak around, your equipped with a gun, nightvision goggles, and a bunch of other gadgets.  In the game, you actually don't have to kill any one, you just need to knock them out.  The guns can kill, but are there for you to shoot out lights and cameras.  Light and dark are principle of the Gameplay.  There is some jumping, that kind of comes across as platforming to me.  After you shoot people, they don't disappear, so you have to hide the body's in the shadows.  Lockpicking, extracting top-secret computer files, and disarming bombs is all a normal day in this game.

 

GRAPHICS

Splinter Cell has good graphics for the time window it was released.  The light coming from a certain points, rather than from nowhere, adds a very bold, realistic feel.  The best graphics for the game come on the PS3 remastered version.



STORY 
Former U.S. Navy Seal Sam Fisher has been recruited by the NSA, to find 2 missing agents in the fall of 2004.  He eventually becomes a Third Echelon operative, and operates missions all over the world.  With his trusty Silenced Pistol, and Nightvision goggles, he perfects his missions, leaving no trace of being there.

AGE
The game has no blood, besides one part in a morgue.  There is violence, and a very deep plot, that I can't fully follow.  Some cursing, so age 13 and up.

CONCLUSION
Splinter Cell is a great stealth action game.  Combining a witty plot, with inovative gameplay, this is a game you don't want to miss (actually since your reading this review in 2012+ you've already missed it).  I give this totally wicked game a 9.7 out of 10
