U know what would kick ass? Splinter Cell for mac! I believe Mac users should feel the same pride and joy of knocking a victim of attack out and dragging their body to an unknown disclosure. They should feel the same rapture of navigating throough a treacherous mine field and kicking huge ass! So what am I asking for? Splinter Cell for Mac, that's all. Ubi Soft, u can suck my dick. I say Splinter Cell for Mac All the way baby!

Definitely write your congressman.

No, it would be awesome if they ported it. E-mail UbiSoft (they publish it, right?).

It's not a bad game but it ain't that great either. I just finished it on the Xbox and I found that there was way too much sneaking involved. It needs more carnage.

Mac gaming needs Half-Life 2, Stalker, and Battlefield: 1942.

That's exactly why so many people love it. Although I hated the Chinese Embassy level. CIA was the best.

I prefer a balance of stealth and violence. For me, Deus Ex achieved that balance. That is nearly a perfect game.

I liked Splinter Cell but it didn't blow me away or make me want to play it again.

splinter cell was fun on my XBOX, i thought it was a pretty good game.

i ran it on the PCs in my dorm, at school, and on emy PC at home, and it sometiems hiccuped at high res, so i dont know how well it would run on limited mac harware.

Splinter cell is a great game. I love it because
of all the stealth involved. I played on PCs at
Uni its pretty cool. It's shame its not on the
mac.

Yes, its on the PS2 and yes, its worth it. I'm playing it now. Great game, if you are into the Tom Clancy class games.

This game is AWESOME, it sooo should have come to the Mac, but like most good PC games; I've already played & finished it (I've played NOLF, NOLF2, Warrior Kings, Project Nomad, MOH, RTCW, F1 2000, and so many more before they came to the Mac, it's a real shame, would have bough them for the Mac if they'd come out in a similar/decent time frame to there PC counterparts).
SC takes you to another level on the hardest difficulty setting, it's no Deus Ex, but it is the next best thing, & a lot better than some of the dross we seem in line for soon.

Woo-hoo! But I'll bet the system requirements are enormous. Can't blame Westlake for that, though.

get it on the gamecube, better graphics than ps2 and nothing to do with the crapbox, and you won't need to upgrade your mac...

And there's Hitman 2.. I thought it was going to be elite.. and could not play it on my mac, so I rented it for GC..

turns out it sucks and it's boring

never rent games like that, racing games are always better
