I told a local indie game seller I know that Ubi were selling it at an event the other day and he let me have a copy yesterday! :D

I don't think I can say anymore than that review really, it looks, sounds and plays superbly. The AI seems to be quite varied though, you can be right next to a guy who won't notice you but another instance will have someone notice you from a long distance.

Oh and the directed moments are short but awesome (only had the innocent guy and skydiving so far)

This is coming from the guy who called Enchant Arms the best Xbox 360 game to date--and is not yet convinced by Gears of War.

I'm not suprised..I need to go get this.

9.0 Presentation
High production values create a thick, heavy atmosphere and a rich in-depth storyline. Yes, a real storyline. Excellent interface, objective pages and menus.
9.0 Graphics
This gorgeous game is layered with multiple textures, special effects, and slick animations. It delivers 30 FPS with occasional drops in both single and multiplayer modes.
9.5 Sound
Excellent sound effects coincide with the dynamic soundtrack. There is surprisingly worthwhile dialog.
9.0 Gameplay
Sharper AI and more NPCs help to create a tighter stealth game. A wide variety of levels plus branching storylines equal great Splinter Cell.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
The single-player game is about 8-10 hours; but you'll want to play it again. The 3-on-3 MP mode is more accessible than Chaos Theory's co-op mode and is progressively more fun.
9.0
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Seems it's a more intelligent game... It really gives you the sense of being a spy (which is good ofcourse :D) And you get the feeling your in control cause your able to play the game your own way:
Hence the different choices you can make....

Also looks like there are a couple of ways to get from point A to point B:
Simple example:
Use the elevator..
Climb a Pipe..
or go trough a vent..

Unlock weapons/gadgets by completing certain objectives in Singleplayer are also a nice touch...

Multiplayer:
Xbox live is out at the moment so i gave System Link a spin.
You can do Co-op missions for unlockable's in multiplayer: Different Skins, Artwork, Videos, ETC

So far haven't seen a flaw in the game...

It's more like if u don't give a fuck, your able to play the way you like: they game is not forcing you to do anything, if u want to kill everyone, go ahead...
But there might be some objectives that you won't get but it's not the end of the world...

Eight to ten hours, is that it..?!

Unless you're an online gamer, you're getting screwed over more and more, how many hours will a singleplayer campaign last in a year or two, 1-2 hours..?
(If there is any at all)

Unbelievable...

Why is 10 hours so bad? Halo, RE4, SC1-3, MGS 2-3, where all about 10 hours.

Morrowind can be completed in like 14 minutes. 10-15 hours is rather average for action games--and has been for quite some time. I agree though, they should be longer..there's rarely a single player FPS campaign out there that's truely worth $50-60 dollars. There is however real value in Double Agents multiplayer.

You can rush through most action games in under 10 hours.
