Just got Splinter Cell

shuki · Dec 1, 2002, 04:04 PM

all I can say is wow! In spite of the hype I tried not to build this game up in my mind. I ordered it thinking it would be good but not "great". I'm really glad I lowered my expectations for it because I'm now totally blown out of the water

The game absolutely rocks! I love the whole stealth/secret agent aspect of the game. The controls are simply sweet. and the moves mr. fisher can pull off just have me grinnin from ear to ear

Part way into the first level (5 or so save points after training) and I am already hooked. and all I have is my silenced pea shooter! wait til I can get better weapons and equipment

But better to not get your hopes up that its this all wonderful game or you'll have it up on this high pedestal and pick it apart when you get it. Just pick it up thinking it'll be a 'good' rental and then sit back and enjoy!!!

anyone else given this one a go yet?? impressions?

edit - oh and Zardon, please do me a favor and try and get this game along with Halo with your new xbox

Zardon · Dec 1, 2002, 04:15 PM

hehe I intend to get it, I think the game looks amazing. all the reviews ive read say its the best game on the XBOX.

gibbon565 · Dec 1, 2002, 05:14 PM

shuki · Dec 4, 2002, 09:53 AM

I also picked up MGS2:substance and could only take about 30 minutes of it. It's definitely getting traded or returned. Very suck-E game IMHO...

Thats the main reason I got a Xbox from what I saw at Comdex @ the M$ stand they had the Xbox with Splinter Cell and it looked great I was sold when I saw it Now I have the Xbox and maybe by Xmas I will have Splinter Cell too Im hoping

gibbon565 · Dec 11, 2002, 03:00 AM

I just got a copy and all I can say is make sure if you dont have it that it is on your XMAS list

now you know once the shipment arrives you have to unpack it all and "test" it out to make sure it all works properly.... some testing requires several hours a night just to be sure it'll be alright and working for your son come christmas morning.... not that I speak from experience or anything...

A more reliable method is to get an impartial member of the family, say a brother or uncle, and let him have it for safe keeping 'til Xmas. We don't want him finding it do we?

< WaReZ -- I'm gunna go d/l it off newsgroups.

Neo69 · Dec 26, 2002, 12:10 AM

i only played the PC demo (don't have an xbox) , but this game looks awesome and it's fun, i'll probably check it out when it's out

OR541 · Dec 26, 2002, 12:06 PM

best game ever!

tragic · Dec 26, 2002, 02:04 PM

Amazing !!

shuki · Dec 26, 2002, 03:04 PM

I also downloaded the pc demo.... Thought is was suck compared to the xbox version. I have an xp1700 and an r8500 running at 190x9 and performance just wasn't there. Looks MUCH better on my 34" Toshiba and xbox via s-video

Necrosis · Dec 28, 2002, 09:08 AM

Shuki it runs smoothe as glass on mine at 1280x1240.

JavaFox · Jan 2, 2003, 10:03 PM

I can't wait until this game is released on the PC. I'll have to say, it's good to see a game from Tom Clancy that isn't of his "Frickin' Impossibly Hard Team-Based Tactics Game That You Cannot Beat" series.

zakrocz · Jan 2, 2003, 10:22 PM

I downloaded the PC demo and it looks amazing on my system. Had everything turned to the max, runs real nice.

The reviews I've read have been mixed and after Edges' conservative mark I started to lose interest, but that short demo has got me wetting my pants in anticipation of the full release.

shuki · Jan 6, 2003, 09:11 AM

after 60+ hours on this game, I just beat it. Weak ending that blew (IMO)

I was hoping to get some sort of "treat" for beating it HARD but nothing new, nothing unlocked. Oh well, still had a great time with this one

Now to finish my last Buffy level.....
