Splinter Cell Impression
Well I finally got the game and I am very impressed.Being a
hardcore fan of the MGS series I couldn't pass up this game.Lets just say it enhances a lot in the stealth genre.The game develops in tom clancey manner.Your a hired agent to investigate some things going down in the government.You start off in a training level that shows you the basics of the game.After you managed to get through it your dropped off into your first mission.The lighting in this game when i first started playing blew my mind.The shadows cast realistically off everything,objects and people alike.With all the advanced lighting effects in the game it plays perfect in the gameplay.An enemy sees your shadow he'll investigate and search out the area.Also lights can be shot out to create a way to stay in the dark and catch some enemy's off guard.Besides the lighting and such the moves and gadgets you have are a nice little treat.Things such as the lockpick and the optical camera play important roles.Unsure whats behind a door, why not sneak the optical camera under the door and scope out the area.If you come across a lockdoor.The game will show a 3d diagram of the lock and you will have to pick the lock according to the vibrations you get from your controller.Now as for moves sam (the main character) is pretty loaded.He can perform actions alike solid snake and some of his own such as the ability to jump up into a corridor and suspend in midair with his legs.Sam can also interrogate enemies for needed info while in his grasp making the game more indepth.On another note the character models and animations are not on the same level as MGS2, nothing seemed very fluid ala MGS but its still a freakin blast to play.The difficulty on a plus side is for the people with good patience,the game is not easy by anymeans.All and All its a great great stealth action game and fans of MGS should really give it a try.If there are any questions please post.

Is it already out, or is it the demo you are talking about?
Is it only for X Box, or will it be available for PS2 as well? I believe I will own this game as well, hearing this from someone who likes MGS and HALO I'm pretty sure I'll like this one as well

It's currently out only for X-box, and unless it already has, it should be out for Pc as well. There's a hint at a PS2 version being released but this is only rumour and I personally think it ain't going to happen. Would be sweet though...

How is the gameplay? I heard some rumors about some severe slowdowns, but now those rumors are stuck in my head.

I pre-ordered the game and got it on release date. Well, I can say that I really love it. The gameplay is great, it reminds me more of Hitman 2 (but with more linear levels) than of Metal Gear Solid 2, and it's just amazing the amount of moves you have at your disposal. Real-time shadows and lighting are really the best I've ever seen in a game, even if in other departments the graphic engine is not that exciting. What I especially didn't like are the character edges... I don't know how to say, but they look a bit too blocky. When you are in the shadows you won't notice that, but in certain parts of the game it's evident. Also the animations are not as good as the ones I've seen in other Playstation 2 and Xbox games; Hitman 2 had much smoother character movements on my opinion. For example, when Sam Fisher jumps it's like he's floating in the air. Then the story... it's realistic, but for some reason I couldn't really like machoman Sam Fisher as I like Solid Snake or Agent 47... I don't know, maybe everything is too realistic, but the game sometimes give me the sensation that Sam Fisher is more a PE teacher than a "hero".
Don't get me wrong, I'd put this game in my #2 spot of favorite Xbox games, just after Morrowind. |

I guess they don't realize that steath doesn't mean running around in the middle of the day and shooting everyone in the head.

But why nobody else noticed the edgy animations? I noticed them, and thought they looked awful sometimes. I didn't say nothing to my friend, but when he came to see the game he said exactly "that Sam Fishing (yes, with the ing) moves like Robocop". On my opinion it doesn't move like Robocop, but it seems like some frame is missing during the animations. Why couldn't they have the same smoothness I saw on Metal Gear? The Xbox should handle more than that! |

Umm i hope you know that animations aren't due to the power of the console but the developers working with it.Remember that.

Really?? I didn't know that! Is that a sort of curse?!
Btw, I don't want to be the bad guy here. I like the game a lot, and lighting is amazing, just I'm shocked to see that no reviewer wrote anything about the animations (but you did SSSnake, thanks!). What I like is that the game is also so challenging. This is one of those "smart" games you know. |

I bought my Xbox for Morrowind first and foremost, then to play Halo and soon to come KOTOR. The point is, Splinter Cell IS great, but it's completely different from MGS. Don't buy the game expecting characters like Solid Snake or Grey Fox, and don't buy the game expecting great cutscenes. Splinter Cell is mission based, MGS is story-driven; Splinter Cell is about the save U.S. from bad terrorists thing, Metal Gear Solid has a storyline that simply reach higher levels! The gameplay of Splinter Cell is more difficult since is based on a trial and error structure, the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid let you proceed in the adventure without always going back to the beginning of a mission. Really, these games are so different... try to find some other game for your Ps2, there are many great ones. |
