Tom Clancy must be spinning in his grave. Wait, I take that back, Tom Clancy is still quite alive and well - and very well, I'd presume, considering the bounty of money he surely rakes in, as he lends his name to many PC and console games. Fortunately for Tom, he gets his paycheck regardless of how well a game is designed. Unfortunately for the rest of us, some gamers may be suckered into buying a title whose predecessors have offered revolutionary and outstanding gameplay, whilst the latest incarnation offers nothing of the sort.

Unfortunately for gamers and fans of the Splinter Cell series, it appears that Ubisoft took the quick, easy route to gouging consumers, as opposed to the concealed, evil one. The developers may not be deceptive about what the game offers, but it definitely doesn’t exemplify what the Wii is capable of, both graphically and control-wise. A blatant ru...
