This game is jankier than I remember. It's got good aspects to it but its certainly weak compared to some of the later games. Much like the Hitman games, you can see a clear concept here that isn't quite realized. The platforming is broken as hell and there's moments here that force you into combat and it's quite rough.

The story of Splinter Cell is something I care so little for as well. It's never well written, I'm basically only here for the gameplay lol.

This game sucks to play on PC, it took me atleast 30 minutes to get this in a playable state.

Anyway, all in all. I don't think I recommend it? It's not very fun, but it's still impressive and unique for the time. Though, I think stealth involving usage of shadows was perfected in the Thief games.
