The game that started it all & 2nd only to chaos theory imo. But do yourself a favour for a better experience & download the `Enhanced SC Mod`. This adds controller support, the ability to whistle , opening doors while carrying bodies ( both which wasn`t introduced until PT), Mission stats similar to chaos theory`s but with the option for stealth or ghost rating, Suit selection, DLC missions, widescreen fix & a load of other improvements.

Great game but not a great port. Initially it was almost impossible to pass the "Abattoir" mission due to the spotlight which detects the player, not projecting the shadows. After sometime I found out that we need to manually enter a launch option "-shadowmode=projector". There are also more minor glitches. But speaking of just the game, its great!

Best played with the mod "Enhanced SC" by Joshhhuaaa. It really brings out the best in the game, and adds some needed quality-of-life fixes.

So, this really was a blast from the past! I remember playing this game a lot on my Playstation 2 when it came out, but it was so long ago that I only remembered some bits here and there. With that said and after finishing the game once again in the most stealthy way that the missions would let me, I definitely recommend this game. It didn't age terribly, but it still aged and to me it was great playing it again because I knew what to expect. It's hard to recommend this to newcomers especially with the high gaming standards nowadays... I'll sure recommend it to people that like retro gaming, but if you're looking to play something new to you, have in mind that this is an old game. It's good, but it didn't come out yesterday. Just a heads up, it is possible to fix the missing shadows by adding "-shadowmode=projector" without the quotes to the Launch Options in the game's Properties. It is also possible to play at any resolution you want by editing the line "Resolution" inside the file "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Splinter Cell\SplinterCellUser.ini" present on the game's folder.
