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.

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.

I'm new to video games and found this game entertaining. I especially like the 2-player mode. It's really cool trying to figure out how to work together as a team while not getting spotted. Very pleased with purchase.

Ok the game is great, story line, characters etc. just like the old splinter cell games. The graphics are like on ps2 previous versions, obvioulsy don`t expect them to match graphics from the version for xbox 360 The processor on the wii is totally different!

I agree with the observations about the controls, this is a complex game to play with many controls and the whole idea of controlling the camera with the wiimote is not very good. Its really complex at the beginning but you will get used to it.

TIPS:
This is what I did, I was having sensibility problems so just go to controls> advanced options and adjust the sensibility of the control.

Also I had my sensor bar over the tv I moved it to the in front of tv position, then go to wii options and change the setting of the sensor bar to it`s new position.

Now the controls work like a charm for me!

Good luck this is a very nice game.

Before any fans jump to any conclusions let me say the series is fun but the Wii controls are so bad that they nearly make the game unplayable. For example, in the second level in co-op one player needs to paint an automated machine gun with the electronics blocker on your pistol. Easy right? No because if you breathe the Wii remote will move off and the machine gun will fire and kill your partner.

I like the Wii but after playing this game on it I would recommend renting games not specifically intended to be played on the Wii, otherwise the radical control format may seriously detract from an otherwise decent game.

Ok, I bought this game for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it!! He loves that you sneak around and get to use all sorts of fun gadgets. For me it is even a fun game to watch him play. I pick out the things he seems to miss and it's as if we are playing as a team! We are both enjoying it and I think I may even try my hand at playing :)

Why this game is rated M I don't know. It says there's blood, but there isn't. I must agree it is violent, but isn't that violent. Violence is the only bad thing in that game, and there are some games rated E for just violence. So I think it should have been rated T, and I hope thats not just my opinion. But furthermore I think it's a great game, good storyline, good controls(I hate how some people are babbling on about how bad they are)and it is challenging.everything a game lover could want.

I was overall very happy with this game. Although the storyline is different than the Xbox 360 version, it is based on the same levels. I did find that the intros into each level lacked a bit, but the gameplay was great. This game utilizes the wiimote's motion controls which are used to jump, climb, put Sam's back to the wall, and to pick locks. Solo mode is very well designed.
This game's co-op mode is very similar to the co-op mode in Splinter Cell 3 Chaos Theory. It's fun to play this mode with a seasoned splinter cell pro, but trying to play with someone who isn't, well you'll find yourself doing everything and trying to watch two screens at the same time. FYI: Co-op is impossible to complete if one person does everything.
Overall, this is a good game, but Ubisoft didn't make it as good as the Xbox 360 version.

This game is great! The story line keeps you excited, and with the option of different choices throughout the mission, the game depends on what you choose. Now on Wii, you are able to use both hands to control where to shoot, jump, climb, roll, dodge, slash someone's throat, interrogate, among many others. Furthermore, the co-op mode allows you to play a campaign together with a partner...collaborating to accomplish your mission. This game will not let you down. I wish I could give it 6 stars.
