Reviews and ratings

Perhaps the best part of the Splinter Cell series, the peak of the creative skill of the Ubisoft Montreal developers (specifically in this series of games). Everything about it is at the highest level (especially for 2005): Gameplay, Graphics, Soundtrack and even Humor. The only thing is that the plot is a little unclear, but you don’t even pay attention to it against the backdrop of the gorgeous gameplay. For me, as a stealth lover, the game left a lasting impression and is one of my favorite games on PC.

Of course, the game is far from perfect and is not without bugs and shortcomings, but overall it is good.

Пожалуй, лучшая часть серии Splinter Cell, пик творческого мастерства разработчиков Ubisoft Montreal (конкретно в этой серии игр). В ней все на высшем уровне (для 2005 года, тем более): Геймплей, Графика, Саундтрек и даже Юмор. Единственно, сюжет немного невнятный, но на него даже не обращаешь внимание на фоне шикарного геймплея. Для меня, как любителя стелса, игра оставила неизгладимое впечатление и является одной из моих любимых игр на PC.

Конечно, игра далеко не идеальна и не без багов и недочетов, но в целом она хороша.

9.0

My review will concern the co-op part of the game. The graphics, sounds and controls are excellent. The entire game (including voice acting) is in Russian. The co-op is made competently, as is the stealth system. The only downside is that the bots are a bit stupid.

Мой отзыв будет касаться кооп части игры. Графика, звуки и управление сделаны отлично. Вся игра (в том числе озвучка) на русском. Кооп сделан грамотно как и стелс система. Из минусов лишь немного глуповатые боты.
