PLEASE NOTE

Some games may behave in an unusual manner when cheat codes are activated.
This is due to the cheat code changing values in the games memory, and causes it
to do things that it does not normally do. Sometimes if two or more codes are
selected together they may cause conflict in the game. There is no way to avoid
this. If you experience problems during gameplay then reboot GameShark

®2

combinations of codes or just one code at a time.

Use of Splinter Cell “Enemies Cannot Move” Cheat

The “Enemies Cannot Move” Cheat is should not be used on level 3 of Splinter
Cell. This is because one of the enemies has to move in order for you to complete
the level. It may cause the game to crash if the above event occurs.
