Splinter Cell

Look mate... I don't want to dissapoint you or anything.

But the games sucks... and it sucks hard. I rented the X-Box version (which is the best of the bunch). I got to the oil rig (4 level out 9)... I couldn't stand it... to damn boring.

Let me explain... Since you own a PS2 chances are you have MGS2. Let's compare the basics of gameplay.

MGS2:
1. Approach a problem from whatever side you want, shoot the gaurd, move past him... WHATEVER you decide.
2.You get caught doing something... the alarm starts working. You run, hide... and avoid a guards till your not being searched for anymore. You get killed you start of in the previous room.
3.Excellent AI that remebers, notices very small details.

Splinter Cell:
1. Linear gameplay... based upon one gimmick. Hiding in the shadows... we all know stealth is fun. But the game is a repition of the same linear gameplay. It's been decided for you, you can approach the problem the way devvelopers wanted you to... BTW bad level desiegn.
2. You get caught, or die... Expect to load from the last checkpoint. Which could be 10 minutes away... The game is based upon trail and error. So expect to play over some part of the game for no less than half an hour.
3. The AI is very basic... sometimes dumb. The only thing the gaurds are capable of is walking around, switching on lights... and being blind at the dumbest moments when you walk past them. Just because you in the dark.


OPIONION ON GAME: Sucks...

Basicly rent before buying. If you pass the game... there really is nothing to come back to. More trail and error?? Forget it... put your money into something better... BTW do you have Skies Of Arcadia... I really recommend it.
