I bought this expecting exactly what I got: a fun, albeit stripped down in every way splinter cell game. I'm a long standing SC fan, and was glad they included the nostalgia filled levels that they did, like the GFO Oil Rig and Television Free Indonesia (bonus mission). from Amazon.com Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Essentials brings the fun world of stealth combat to the PSP. I adore the Splinter Cell series and really was looking forward to a PSP version to carry around with me. from Amazon.com Sam Fisher's PSP outing may not be perfect, but for a fan of the series, it's just what the doctor ordered. While it may feel unpolished in some places and ancient in others (it brings back things like the "3 alarms and you're out" rule) it's still fairly solid portable Splinter Cell action and who can complain about that!? from Amazon.com If you have some familiarity with the series (I had read that some missions in this game were taken directly from the console versions), then you probably have some idea of what is going on. I found myself struggling with the awkward character movement and unclear objectives. Also, (and this might be my fault for not reading the instructions) I could not save in the middle of a level and return to that point later. When I saved and turned the game off, it always started me at the beginning of the level instead of where I left off. from Amazon.com Splinter Cell: Essentials is exactly what the title says. Splinter Cell veterans (such as myself) will be dissapointed if they expect this game to be Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory all over again. from Amazon.com I must disagree with the other reviewers. The game isn't designed for the PSP, the gameplay and story aren't bad at all, but there are very important features Ubisoft dev team didn't had in their mind and they should. The PSP isn't a game console with a good "outdoors" screen and this game should came to players with "Game Brightness Level" as option, and there isn't nothing, that makes very hard (impossible) to play outside (unless at night) only if you use Sam's night vision (but not always avaiable during the game). from Amazon.com I just recently bought Splinter Cell Essentials. Bear in mind that I'm a Splinter Cell fan so my review tends to be pretty favorable of the game. from Amazon.com This game is the best. The story line expands from all the splinter cell games. The graphics are the best. from Amazon.com This is probably the most important department, and SC disappoints. It was clear from the start that developers had trouble mapping all the controls for Fisher onto the PSP due to the absence of a second analog stick, as well as the two fewer shoulder buttons (L2/R2). Movement is severely hampered by this physical limitation. from Amazon.com A very special game, with many situations and challenges that make it a GREAT game. from Amazon.com
