Unlike the first Splinter Cell, this one won't work with a 32 meg video card... so until I upgrade my ancient GeForce 2, it's no go for me.

It wont support GeForce 4MX and GeForce 4Go chips either... arent the GeForce 4MX chips some of the newer mobile 3D processors? Wonder why it wouldn't support the latest mobile 3D chips... puts a lot of notebook users out to dry.

Also, make sure you turn off Anti-Alaising on the newer cards. This game does not support it.

GEForce MX are their cheaper, budget line of cards, I believe. I could be wrong though. I know their mobile chips usually have the "Go" at the end of the title, like "GEForce2 Go".

Oops, you're right. The new mobile chips are GeForce FX Go chips, so I guess it will work on the new laptops

March 23rd I believe is the ship date. Most of the time, bigger videogames don't have a "release date" in the strictest sense of the phrase. They have a "ship date." They get shipped out on a certain day and stores can put them out whenever they get them. Sometimes they get shipped out early and some stores wait until the official day to put them out and others just go ahead and sell them. But the actual date a game hits the shelves depends on the store. Video game stores (eb, gamestop, etc.) tend to most often get them on the day of shipping whereas others (Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart) often don't get them out to sell until a day or two later.

I'm not a PC gamer but I'm willing to try the demo but first does anyone know if ATI Radeon 9200 128 MB is enough to play games?

You're being sarcastic, aren't you?

No I'm not. I'm not a pc gamer and I don't know anything about cards or any other requirement to play pc games, but since you think I'm being sarcastic than I'm assuming that this should be enough.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across like a prick. It's just that, though it's not the newest card out there, you should be very happy with it. I wish I had it.

Here's the IGN review summary for the XBOX version......


9.0 Presentation
Outstanding dialogue plus dialogue, locations and terrorism that have been ripped right from real life.

9.0 Graphics
Even better looking than before in terms of environments and characters. Animation is only a notch behind.

10.0 Sound
The first 7.1 sound videogame and the outstanding content to go with it. Turn it up and play it loud.

9.0 Gameplay
The solo campaign is as solid as before, but the multiplayer game couuld be the next big thing in videogames.

10.0 Lasting Appeal
Who knew stealth-action games could have legs llike this? Warming up with the solo mode will keep you locked to multiplayer forever.

9.5
OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

I just got mine today, but unfortunately, i wont be playing it anytime soon. This game needs attention so im not going to play it until i can give it alot of it. Right now i got other games i just bought (Drakengard, Lifeline and Onimusha:BW). Nonetheless, this game looks to be magnifcient.

I'll probably pick up the PC version for $35ish at Best Buy sometime this weekend. I might go Xbox if there is a sale
