Over all this game is alright, graphics are definetly not all that stellar with some visual glitches here and there. The story and voice acting are still as good as previous installments. Gameplay is solid, though controls are a bit of a problem. Old button commands have been moved to twists and flicks on your wii mote. Twist your nunchuck to sneak across the wall or move it up or down for jumping. Camera is controled by moving the wii mote in the desired direction, and lockpicks are performed through twisting the wii mote to the proper position. Co-op makes a return in this instalment, and is fun as always with a buddy.

Its a decent starting title for the Wii, but fans will miss their normal controlers.

This game is great. The controls are difficult at first but they become easier with time.There is a learning curve.Don't listen to the other people complain about the control, those people expect things to be easy. I would say that aiming is much easier than resident evil 4. The game is fun and easy to use and the interactive controls make it that much better. The only down side is that the plot and game is not as long as the x-box versoin. I have beaten the game several times over and I have no problem with the controls.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than I Expected (Seriously), June 16, 2007

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Video Game)

When I first heard that they were making a Splinter Cell game for the Wii, I was totally exited. But then I started thinking how the controls were gonna work and I started to get worried. Once I popped the game in, I was extremely surprised at how well the game worked. I thought that the controls would be real jumpy or unresponsive, but they worked great. The game itself is also well done. The enemies have great AI which was not too easy or too hard. The story is also a great one. Like other games that came before it, you control the story line, making decisions that could benefit the mission or not. If you liked the previous Splinter Cell games, you will definitly like this one.
