Splinter Cell 3D
$39.99
8.5--Expertly Crafted
As a port of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Splinter Cell 3D doesn't fare too well. There have been complaints regarding the A.I., brevity, and variety of the game. True, it's not as good as its console counterpart, but, as a game in itself, it is very well made.
Everything from the graphics to the weapons variety is masterfully done, and all the voice acting has been kept intact. The game is very long, and each mission features not only primary objectives, but secondary objectives and opportunity objectives as well. The game's controls seem awkward at first (electing to use the face buttons to control the camera angle while using the touch screen solely for commands and selections), but they seem to make more and more sense as the game progresses.
Fisher has a staggeringly wide arsenal in Splinter Cell, ranging from ringfoil shots to a grenade launcher (able to fire multiple different types of grenades) to even a shotgun. The game gives the impression of having a lot of work put into it, even as a launch title.
In conclusion, I would like to say that, as a port, Splinter Cell 3D could be better. But as its own game, it shines through a heavy mask of other 3DS launch titles. Stealth fans, enjoy, and everyone else should try it as well.
