sorta less shooting more stratgy acutal control over lock picking not auto. Rainbow six you could run in a shoot shit and still win splinter cell you really want to stay away from that rainbow six was like a really really shitty version of spinter cell if you want to compare Rainbbow six wasn't worth much it took me and a friend 5 hours to beat. it wasn't hard enought and there wasn't much stealth involed but if you liked rainbow six and you like a more stelthy approch go for it if all you do in run in a shoot forget it
