When I saw two Tom Clancy games as release titles for the Nintendo 3DS I thought ‘great’ and then after reading some reviews about Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars I couldn’t wait to get my teeth into Splinter Cell 3D. I haven’t played any of the previous iterations of Splinter Cell but I knew the concept behind the titles.
Nintendo are set to launch a series of Nintendo 3DS console bundles after the summer, beginning with two of Ubisoft’s big name franchises. Both Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3DS and the forthcoming Driver Renegade 3D will be included in official bundle packages.
Mr. Fisher is back and showing himself once again in his prime; this time on the new Nintendo 3DS. Chaos Theory is arguably the best and most popular iteration in the Splinter Cell franchise. Does this port show Sam at its best or should he have stayed in the dark for the launch of 3DS?
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3D plays a more familiar game of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell than the most recent release, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, though it has learnt many lessons from the Xbox 360 game. The visual effect of projecting objectives onto the environment is a welcome addition, and the aural clues when detected certainly add to the player’s feeling of being the most skilled person in the environment.
