Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D - 3ds - GR review

9:48 AM Posted by Mario Galarza


Michael Ironside is a great voice actor. Have you ever seen heavy metal 2000? What is a mad fun of guilty pleasure. Gratuitous violence, nudity, Profanity… na, gratuitous all, really… and Michael Ironside as it is as mentally unstable, vicious, manic villain. I recommend that you go find a copy of it, the next time you see need to kill and a half an hour. Great stuff.

When you get right on it, Splinter Cell 3D is not only discuss. In fact, could be the reason why I started the with that digression because only decent be the voice that, what is, I come up with this game in favour.

But if you already have played a Splinter Cell , you are already aware voice actor and Ironside's portrayal of Sam Fisher the quality in particular. And actually, if you have played splinter cell: chaos theory, then you already all are aware, that happens in Splinter Cell 3D; This is only a port of the old 2005 game hardware, berieselte on top released on last-gen with a light dose of 3D.

Although, upon closer inspection, it is actually much weaker than the original. The graphics are rough, a little bit more jagged and with one only noticeably choppy frame rate running. The 3ds can better graphics than last generation consoles; It was not only the time, the people of Ubisoft to this port a makeover value. Unlike many other 3DS-Titel which is 3D in Splinter Cell 3D very subtle, sometimes trying to find out, even if enabled slider at full speed. But given how dark and muddy, the game looks, this is probably a good thing.

And for stealth gameplay, this is kind of important to screw up. If it not for the meter at the top of the screen, to tell you you are visible, should time almost impossible to know if you are close to is discovered.

Much for the 3ds, and while she controls much better processed were could not changed are, they can always still annoying, instead of a dual-stick controller use. The circle pad controlled movement during face buttons the camera control, and to jump and duck your left hand on the control pad bring. With the shoulder buttons treated targets and shoot areas on the touchscreen, feels natural, but a number of other important functions which I never found convenient or intuitive in every game his be associated with. Weapons and sub-weapons, open the map distract guards pipes - all this is done by clumsy encounter on the touch screen with the thumb.

And that's - no multiplayer modes (which had the original), no online functionality or street pass goodies and no new features to extend or improve the single-player campaign in addition to the slightly helpful lenses text of the lifted thrown splinter cell: conviction. This is a port of a six-year-old game with stripped down features. It's hard to get more "cash in" than that. If you really want to play Chaos theory, go to a fraction of the price a used copy of the original superior.
