Pretty cool. I should probably finish Splinter Cell before that comes out. :D

[Great Rumbler]

I should probably BUY Splinter Cell before this comes out...:)

Make you sure get the X-Box or PC version. Stay away from the crappy PS2 and GC ports.

How exactly is the GC one bad? I don't remember the reviews saying that...

[OB1]

It's a port of the PS2 version, which is a dumbed-down version of the X-Box and PC versions.

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, compared to the Xbox and PC versions it isn't as good.

[OB1]

But if you don't have an X-Box, PC, or PS2, it's still a good game.

Worse than the PS2 version? I doubt it...

Oh, and of course the PC has the best version. :)

[OB1]

The GC and PS2 versions are pretty much identical, but the PS2 version has better controls and a cool exclusive level.

The PC version is just about identical to the X-Box version in every way but control. You really don't need super-fast and accurate aiming so the mouse isn't a huge advantage over the X-Box pad, but the X-Box version does have analogue controls which is very important to the game. In the PC version you have to spin the middle mouse wheel in order to change walking speeds, which is nowhere near as smooth and intuitive as using an analogue stick. Oh and so far the PC version hasn't gotten the Kola Cell downloadable level that X-Box Live owners get.

Holy crap that looks awesome! Another must-buy I'm thinking...I need to pick up Splinter Cell, too...I rented it and it was cool.

I played the demo on the GC Demo Disc, and it was okay... but I don't think its worth buying.
