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.
