When I first heard about this game, I just had to buy it. The game type, looked very unique, like nothing I had seen before, and that is what I really love about the Splinter Cell series. The gameplay in "Splinter Cell", is awesome, and that's putting it mildly. The cool moves that are available to use, are in depth, and very fun to use.

To defeat your enemies, you have a variety of means. You can use your weapons, but the noise might alert a guard.

Some enemies are needed to activate a door or passcode, so you can take an enemy hostage by holding a gun to his head, you can interrogate them, or you can use them as human shields.
