Just finished it on the weekend. What did you guys think of it?

Did anybody ever use the splits move (where you wedge yourself between two walls) outside of the training mission? I never did. Don't remember seeing a spot to use it either.

I loved it. Repeating stuff ad naseum never bothered me - I just kept slogging away knowing I'd get better and I'd figure out what I had to do/where to go next. I didn't figure out the Y button was for sniping until I got to the 8th level (serves me right for not reading the manual :) and I was still doing just fine up to that point).

I redid stuff only twice (i.e. went back to an older save), and that was because I found myself short on ammo near the extraction part (and the first time wouldn't have been necessary had I known about sniping). It's amazing how much more efficient you can be when you put the effort in.

Kicks MGS2s ass IMO. It'll be cross platform shortly - if you're into that sort of game then I recommend it for the GC and PS2 owners out there. They might get stuff the Xbox version didn't have I've heard.

I used the split jump a few times, but it was sorta underutilized.

Splinter Cell is an awesome game...here's my review. (http://xbox.vgf.com/reviews/splinter/index.htm)

The PS2 version will receive one level not found in the Xbox version...of course, the Xbox version will also soon have one new level available for download (Kola Cell) in mid-March. No word on what (if any) enhancements the GCN version will receive.

the PC version is the best!
