Is Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell still worth playing in 2026?
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell adapts Sam Fisher's infiltration to GBA in a top-down view, where you advance through the shadows avoiding guards and cameras with gadgets. The conversion makes a praiseworthy effort to transpose the original game's stealth, with tense discretion sequences. The modest presentation and at-times confusing readability, however, limit immersion. For fans of retro stealth and the Splinter Cell license curious about an atypical portable iteration, it is an honest attempt but below the home versions.
