The game was supposed to come out the 28th, but I guess it just came out today 
Stupid Gamestop.
So I picked up my copy and I played the training. At first your like 'How the hell do I use all these controls!', but by about half way through the first mission the controls become pretty comfortable.
The gameplay is pretty much the same as it is on the PC except with worse graphics. But for the DS this game looks freaking SEXY. I am amazed how much of the original game they were able to keep in this port. You have your night and heat vision still. Same guns and way of aiming. You pick locks, open and bash doors, interrogate people and snap their necks. Use a zip cord, jump down walls, do that cool split in a hallway between walls, climb on pipes. It's really awesome. There is even multiplayer (which I have not played yet, I just got the game :p)
Some pros:
It plays just like the computer version in just about every single way.
They put the touch screen to good use.
The graphics really show off what the DS can do.
The missions are freaking long.
Some cons:
The music is kind of bleh. I mean it's like they got the soundtrack from Chaos Theory and made it crappy for the DS. You can turn the music off if you want, but if you put it on low it still kind of adds to the game.
The framerate is some parts is a bit slow, nothing major at all, but it's there.
The camera takes some getting used to.
The DS recreates the dark locations from Splinter Cell pretty sexily(is that a word?) but sometimes it's hard to position your DS screens in the right way so that you can see everything that's going on.
I give this game 4 out of 5 stars. If you like Splinter Cell and you have a DS pick this game up.

Think while it's still legal.
I want to play someone online with it though. ![[http://www.glassofstfu.com/Chaos.jpg]](http://www.glassofstfu.com/Chaos.jpg "http://www.glassofstfu.com/Chaos.jpg")
