One of the good stealth game up to date, but still lacking in some places
I've never played Splinter Cell prequels, but I'm sure most SC fans will love this game. It's a lot different from Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow, you don't have the extra things to do that makes stealth fun, but better things were added. Amazing story with great looking graphics. Many weapons and upgrades to choose from. The Mark & Execute with the hand to hand kill makes up for the minor flaws in this game, you basicially get this cool move by killing someone with hand, then you can then plan to kill multiple targets in seconds in slow-mo. Ubisoft's DRM was trying to "get rid" of piracy, they fail, because people already cracked the game and played online for free, I'm very disappointed with them and Ubisoft. People that bought this game can't play solo if they dont have internet, I mean, thats messed up. However, most people are aware of that and they have internet so the problem is not that big. Ubisoft knows what's success and failure.
Pros:
Excellent graphics
Nice weapon and upgrade selection
Different levels of stealth involved
Deniable Ops adds more fun
Gorgeous Sound design
Hand to hand kill
Mark & Execute
Cons:
Minor visual flaws
Might not be that fun for old fans
Ubisoft DRM depends if you have constant fast internet connection or not, if you don't its Ubifail.
rare frustrations in Solo and Co-op
