		Graphics: The graphics in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell are amazing. Tom Clancy has thrown out some very sad games with very bad graphics, but his latest bunch for the X-Box and other consoles are amazing. (Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and Rainbow Six: Raven Shield). The way the shadows move to the way the curtains move when running into them, the graphics are, I think, one of the best yet. And Sam Fishers outfit is so well detailed it's amazing. 20/20 Sound: The sound is a little sketchy in the game. But overall it's a pretty good for the type of game, when you actually want to make sounds. (you'll know what I mean in the Gameplay part of this). The music is, I think, not fit for this type of game. 17/20 Story: You are Sam Fisher. You are given the fifth freedom, to spy, steal, destroy, and assassinate to protect American freedoms. (Taken off back). Basically, you are a spy for the NSA, National Security Agency. In the game, Georgia, becomes a threat to the USA. You, Sam Fisher, must find who and why they are helping the Georgians. Excellent storyline behind the game, props to Tom Clancy. 19/20 Gameplay: Sam Fisher is a spy. He is very stealthy. That is the whole part of this game, and that's what keeps the excitement in playing it. I'm on my second time through the game, first on normal now on hard. The differences between the difficulties are not that much, but here are a few: your enemy's pack a harder punch with there MP5 looking weapons, doing more damage. Also throughout the normal mission you could go through the WHOLE level without being seen once, but in Hard mode there are spy's positioned along the buildings, that can spot you no problem. The game is very frustrating at some points, sometimes it's very hard to figure out. No two missions are alike, and if you have online capability with the X-Box then you can upload more missions from live onto your game console and play more that way. This game does not have a multiplayer mode, I think it would be a very good online game, pure stealth action fighter. To end this segment I think it has EXCELLENT gameplay. 20/20 Replay Value: Like I said I am on my second run through the game, I don’t think it has good replay value but it doesn’t have the worst either. There is only two difficulties to choose from, and they aren’t all that different, from what you saw before. Not very good replay value. 14/20 I also only reviewed this game for the X-Box, but from what I hear this game is good for all consoles. I personally own no other consoles, so all the reviews will come for X-Box games from me. FINAL SCORE: 90/100
