If you are a person who gats a game and expects to be good at it the first time you play it, this is NOT the game for you!

Splinter Cell takes alot of time to learn. The entire game is about being able to be stealthy. You don't want to use up all of your amunition. That is why there are dark spots you can hide in to jump out and use your fighting skills to knock your enemy out.

Pros

1.Same basic objective to the game.
2.Lots of fun to sneek around and knock out people.
3.Lots of cool moves that you can use on Sam Fisher.

Cons

1.Can't get all of the old weapons
2.Very difficult!
3.Frustrating to have to play the missions all over again if you lose!

The A.I. in this game is pretty good.
The problem with it is, your enemy can react to you to fast for you do do something. If you are move to fast you get detected, if you move to slow you get detected.
One of the most frustrating things of this game is the fact that if you get deteced, the enemy will, A. Shoot, or Stun you. B. Will flip the alams and you you have about 6 sec. to find the switch before the mission is over.

All in all, I found this game to be challenging but rewarding if you win.

Obviously less than console version, but a great GBA game!May 22, 2003
By Walter Reade
Okay, you are not going to get the same game as on the Xbox, PS2, or Game Cube, but in and of itself, this is a great GBA game. And there ARE stealth aspects to the game, but game play is much simpler than on the consoles. Graphics are super detailed.

Time to do some spying around...Jul 02, 2003
By Alex Antontopoulos
You are Sam Fisher,a Splinter Cell,and your mission is to stop terrorists.
This is a very good stealth game.It doesn't much the greatness of the game for PS2,X-BOX,GAMECUBE,and PC,but it's still very good.
It feautures the best graphics I have ever seen in a GBA game so far.It's levels are great,and the moves that you can accomplish are spectacular.
So why am I rating it four stars,and not five?
Because of the control.It [disappoints].
Most of the times you will loose,it will not be your fault, but the control's fault.
And the boss levels...imagine the worst control you can have for a sniper rifle...now double it!

Four stars means ''VERY GOOD'' and this is how I rate this game. I suggest you rent this game first before you decide if you will buy it.

Good stealth side-scrollerJun 01, 2003
By Lisa Shea "medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
We've played Splinter Cell on the XBox and PS2 and loved it. Even though the GBA version is far simpler, it's still quite fun!

First off, where the XBox and other platforms had an incredibly detailed 3D shooter with amazing lighting effects, this is the GBA. So you get a 2D side scroller. You have to accept right off that this isn't quite the same detail level.

Once you get past that hurdle and accept this as a "fun stealthy game", it really is quite enjoyable. There are the same general mission aims as in the other versions, so you have hostages to rescue, contacts to talk with and enemies to kill. You have to use stealth as much as possible, shooting only when necessary.

The graphics are reasonably good for the GBA system, and the music works quite well. The controls are extremely simple to master, so there isn't a lot of button mashing. Most areas are more like puzzles, trying to figure out exactly what the best way to get past an obstacle is.

Highly recommended for spy and stealth game lovers.
