"Played Splinter Cell - Holy Poo!"

How smooth is this game!

Wow... played it today... my manager managed to get a copy through his contacts.. all I can say it that it runs so well and feels beautiful, a real treasure to play, we only had the first fully finished level/stage on disk however it was clear that if they didn't drop the depth in the later levels than this game will be an easy Halo beater (I wasn't a supreme fan of Halo).

Well. Its my first reason to own an XBox. And I will be getting a copy for free... as well as TimeSplitters2.

*burps and runs away*

Well done Splinter Cell.

:)

I doubt they made it up, and if it isn't going to be as good as the X-Box version, they would just have given the information, leaving the X-Box part out. They tell the facts, nothing else.

Well they would say that wouldn't they.
They're not going to say, "It's out on the GC next year, but it won't be as good as the XBOX version...."

It's common sense really. GameCube will always have the quickest loading times because of it's discs. Where it fails in capacity, it picks up in the distance the eye has to travel to read it.

That sounds right to me.

Saw splinter cell fotage from the DVD sav sent me, and Holy Poo is a very fitting way to describe it. That Vann Damme splits move has to be one of the best seen in any game ever.

I don't think SplinterCell could look anywhere near as good on the PS2 as it does on the Xbox, I believe the GameCube could just about handle it and probably have slower loading times... again it really depends on how the game is coded and for this game I really don't know.

Best games of the year:

Halo, Resident Evil, GTA Vice City, Splinter Cell, TimeSplitters2 and Mario.

That is true. Hush if you agree.

Splinter cell is third most wanted game form me, i really wnat project ego and BC what do you lot think about those 2 games? They sound well fun.

That's a rough quote.

It has been mentioned but not with improvements! The Xbox version will look the best and with the GameCube it will keep a nice framerate, but the PS2 version will probably contain a lot of slow down as Max Payne did. Like UBISOFT said, they are developing it for the Xbox because they can do the most with the game and deliver a great 5.1 experience as well as the gameplay.

Where does it say that GC/PS2 versions are being released? It has'nt been officially announced, Just rumoured, Its only coming out on Xbox then PC for now...

It'll be out early next year for GameCube and PS2, with some improvements, apparently.
