  In the end, I’m left with mixed emotions on this package due to some of the graphic hitches and a lack of some key features. If you’ve traveled this path before, the only new things that are really offered are trophies and the option to enable 3D if you’ve got the hardware.

  Oh man, I was stoked for this one, but at the end of the day I came away unimpressed. The first two games look a little dated but they stand the test of time gameplay-wise. Unfortunately it feels like Ubisoft just sort of mailed it in when it comes to putting together a really nice package for this compilation. There’s little in terms of extras, none of the ground breaking multiplayer the series pioneered, and it is far too strict on its control schemes. That’s a real shame because this one could have been really, really good.

  By offering some solid graphical upgrades to bring the collection up to par with the current gen a la Halo Anniversary, Ubisoft could've offered Splinter Cell fans a great look at the series roots. Unfortunately, we've instead been treated to a slapdash production with lousy visuals and no multiplayer.

  The most lamentable part of this package is that the online adversarial modes of both Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory are missing. The innovative Spies vs. Mercenaries multiplayer mode would make the overall package a lot more appealing, but unfortunately, only the single-player portions appear. Not even Chaos Theory's excellent co-op mode has found a home here.

  On the whole, if you’re one of the people who never played Splinter Cell when it first came out because it was an Xbox exclusive then you’ve got no excuse anymore. The game itself holds up as one of the best stealth games ever created, even 10 years after it was released. Unfortunately the “HD” part of Splinter Cell HD is what lets it down. Those 2 little letters at the end of the title will give most players a sense of expectation that’s let down a little bit here.

  So if you're new to the series and want to see what all the fuss is about, Splinter Cell Trilogy HD is still a decent stealth package. It should be much better, though - and that's why it's hard to recommend it as strongly as the games themselves deserve.
