Did anyone buy the PC splinter cell?

What do you mean? I meant to say that the PC version of GR was far better than the Xbox. Why do they limit you to 2 teams? Do they think xbox players are too dumb to use 3 groups?

I don't play GR offline, sorry, I don't know about these three groups thing. All I know is I have a blast playing it online with the voice comm, meet some cool people on there.
I would say SC is better on the XBOX because of the controller, playing it on a TV in 480p (if you have that), and with the 5.1 (if you have that).
Do a search, I'm positive Static Cling created a thread very similar to this.

picked up the pc version of splinter a couple days ago, and so far its a great game...very pretty fun game....though a major system hog....with all settings at max, AA and a filtering the game brought my system to its knees. (p4 2.8, 9700 pro, 512ddr)..though it runs fine without aa and a filtering. How it compares to the box i dont' know, haven't played the box version.

Contrary to what Cuman says, I have an Athlon XP 1700+ and a Geforce 3 Ti500 and can play without a hitch at 1024x768. Then again, this isn't a high-speed game at all so 30fps is just as good as 60.
But I just can't bring myself to play it ... the 'urgency' of the situation doesn't inspire me to keep playing. I can look at it and tell that it is a fantastic game, but I just can't bring myself to play for more than a few minutes.
I woudn't hesitate to recommend taking a look at it, but you may want to pick a place with a liberal return policy just in case the pacing isn't for you.

The xbox version is the way to go. The controls are much easier with a gamepad vs. a mouse and keyboard. Graphics do look just as good on the pc though maybe better. Down the PC demo 2 and judge for your self.
