If you ask me which is the better stealth game then I say Splinter Cell wins hands down. The use of lighting is amazing as is the use of sound. I also find you have to watch other people more carefully rather than in MGS where I found myself staring at the vision cones on the radar more.
Plus, lets not forget the problem with MGS and its lengthy cut-scenes and codec transmissions. Fortunately Splinter suffers none of these.
I also find Splinter to be far more realistic than MGS (not that I've ever been a stealth agent of course!). A lot of the bad guys in MGS have been highly un-realistic - whereas Splinter offers more normal characters and no boss battles.
MGS to me is more of an arcade experience rather than realism and that's why I think Splinter is better - the realism allows me to be immersed more. Playing Splinter I get very tense knowing one false move can bugger things up - I don't get that sensation from MGS.
Besides, I happen to think whilst the MGS's are great games, they are vastly over-rated.
But hey - that's just my thoughts. Each to their own.
