Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Splinter Cell returns with an all-new story of double-dealing terrorists and uncomfortable moral decisions. Its greatest new feature though is its multiplayer, which continues to expand into the definitive online stealth experience.

The lowdown:
You can only imagine that Sam Fisher must get a good pension, because he doesn't seem to have an easy life. This time his role as a double agent in a terrorist group forces him to constantly make difficult moral choices, from big set piece decisions on whether to execute hostages to simple choices in-game such as whether to help out civilians. Although there are few significant changes to the controls this time around, for once most of the game doesn't take place in the dark. Stealth is still paramount though, especially since two onscreen trust meters track whether you're still in favour with both the terrorists and the NSA. The terrorist base also acts as a sort of hub world which you keep returning to between missions and slowly explore and unlock as the game's story unfurls.

Most exciting moment:
The expanded Spies vs. Mercenaries multiplayer game now has even less connection to the single player campaign, with the spies using only hand-to-hand combat and moving much faster than Sam Fisher. It now supports a total of six players at once and is one of the few online action games to offer a genuine alternative to the normal first person deathmatches.

Since you ask:
The next Splinter Cell game is subtitled Conviction and is due out some time next year. Controversially it has been announced as an Xbox 360 and PC exclusive only, with no PlayStation 3 or Wii versions currently scheduled.

The bottom line:
The best Splinter Cell yet, particularly in multiplayer mode.-HARRISON DENT

this was the 90th game i think i have bourght, and i wont regret it
this is an amazing game, if you like sneaking up, climbing on buildings, killing and using all your weapons to defeat your enimies to 0 you will love this game, it inspired me to buy all the othe rsplinter cell`s and complete them all. althow this game is quite long, i completed it in about 5 days non-stop. i truely recomend this game to all the strategy game lovers (+the splinter cell lovers). good luck gamers...

Good but if you r going to get a 360 don't get it for ps2
This game is probably the best splinter cell in the series really good innotive missions but the story and graphics are much better on the 360 so if your going to get a 360 dont waste your money on the ps2 version get the 360 version

One Of The Best Game's I've Ever Played!
I love all the Splinter Cell games but this one is way out of the other's league! I love the fact that you get to choose what to do (like kill someone or don't in 'grab mode'). I love the plot and even though I haven't finished it yet it is fantastic, if I told you much more I'll be giving the plot away. Just buy it!!!
