Deitrix overview:
In my eyes this is not the next-gen of Sam Fisher!! Im thinking that will be Splinter Cell 5 made only for the 360! Still a top game and even tho the graphics are a mixed bag, they are still close to the best out there.. well some of them I should say..? Take the first mission and look at the clouds- a 3rd grader could paint ones more real than that... If it wasnt made for multi-platforms it would be a total different game I believe. I still believe its one to buy. Keep in mind Im playing on an HDTV, so that probably makes a big difference graphic wise...
My score is around an 8.5 - 8.9!

Trivia source Wikipedia
Splinter Cell, as a brand, is owned by Tom Clancy's company, Rubicon, and is licensed to Ubisoft to make the games. The characters of the game, as well as "Third Echelon" itself, were created by Ubisoft writer J.T. Petty.
Originally, Tom Clancy rejected the idea of Sam Fisher having trifocal goggles, stating that goggles with both thermal vision and night vision are impossible to make. The creators argued that having two separate sets of goggles would make for awkward gameplay and convinced Clancy to allow it.
Unlike most present-day video games, Splinter Cell only uses motion capture technology for other characters - all of Sam Fisher's moves are animated by hand. The creators felt this would give Sam a more "fluid" range of motion. The cooperative Third Echelon player agents are also given the same direction as well.
Games bearing the Tom Clancy name, including Splinter Cell, must receive approval from Clancy himself to earn his endorsement. Some of the aspects of games that he looks for include realistic weapons, military tactics, and health systems for the game's characters.
