As all good gamers know, Splinter Cell has its origins on full blown consoles, and this version for the DS aims to bring this stealth based action title to the handheld gaming world. Sadly this title falls short in several areas. The game has made a very poor translation to the DS and everything from the graphics to the clunky control mechanism (hampered by low framerate graphics) leaves a bitter disappointment in the players mouth ! The differences (other than graphics) in this game to its bigger brothers, is a far more linear gameplay. The levels start at point A and the player has to progress to point B without being detected. All very straightforward, but its execution is flawed by poor use of the Nintendo DS's hardware. A very lazy version of the Splinter Cell franchise that is frustrating to play and hence one not to buy even at bargain bin prices ! Rent it to see for yourself !

Features

All the new moves and gadgets of the console versions released in March 2005 but with the addition of the exclusive SWAT TURN

The Wireless Communication of the Nintendo DS will be intensely used for the multiplayer modes:

Cooperative mode for two players with five levels to explore. Each player can choose between two Shadownet expertises: Assault or Hacker
Versus mode for two to four players with seven maps available. The Versus mode places you in a war of Shadownet Spies against Argus Mercenaries. While Spies try to hack computer devices to steal important information, Mercenaries must patrol and guard these stations.
