Having now played this game I can say, while his criticisms are spot on (although overly harsh, but it's yahtzee so of course), this game was immensely enjoyable and I actually liked playing it much more than any of the previous Splinter Cell titles. It did feel a bit lame that you almost HAD to kill everyone on every mission, but that didn't take away from the fun. I also really enjoyed the visual styling (black and white when hidden, font on action areas/objectives).
