It's also worth noting that with respect to the sound, Amon Tobin did the soundtrack to this game (and just released the corresponding record, too.)
One question I still have after reading this review is about the variety of the missions. From the way that Carlos described the gameplay, it sounds like there's certainly a lot of killin', but does every mission end with someone getting bumped off? Or is this what being a Splinter Cell is all about. I really don't know - haven't touched the series except for about 10 minutes with the GameCube version that was packaged with Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
