My reason for the PS3 is finally here

My boss at work thinks that Splinter Cell is what Metal Gear Solid should have been.

I personally don't see how that works since I spent a lot of my time in Splinter Cell restarting because one person saw me and all I had was a clip in a shitty handgun to waste on one person that was following me.

MGS has always been (to me) what it's advertised as. Tactical Espionage Action.

The action doesn't necessarily have to come from playing the game itself alone, because the action in most of the cutscenes have been superb since day 1 with Metal Gear Solid, and reinforced with the newer cutscenes in MGS:Twin Snakes.

The espionage element is good, and frustrating, as it should be, but not overbearing.
