Sam Fisher continues his adventures in this third installment of the infiltration Splinter Cell Series.

This review pertains to the xbox360 version, which I have played. There are actually two versions of this game, with the Xbox360, Playstation 3 and PC versions differing significantly from the Playstation 2,Xbox, Gamecube and Wii version.

Plot wise, Sam Fisher is infiltrating a domestic terrorist Cell after the death of his daughter who is killed by a drunk driver. Don't want to reveal too much, so moving on to gameplay.

The game is beautiful, with well thought out levels that provide good background and many options when sneaking around.

I found the game fairly difficult, even on the "Easy" setting, this is definitely for gamers who really enjoy the subtle approach, if shooting is more your thing, try HALO or Call of Duty series.

Parents, this game is NOT for kids, or even younger teens. IT is rated M for the violence, and there is a lot of violence, including a fairly disturbing scene where you have a choice of executing a prisoner, who has been severely beaten. There is a moral choice there, but it is for a more mature crowd.

While this is not my kind of game, it is well done, and worth checking out if you like spying and sneaking.
I give it 4 nightvision visors!
