What went wrong...

Splinter Cell. Bloody hell...

Sorry, but was anyone else highly dissapointed by the demo? I know it's early and all that, but it's terrible. OK, it's not that bad, but really, the controls are frustrating and the graphics nothing special. Also what's with the enemies, they're dumb as anything. One guy just stood still and let me shoot him, while the other just ran past me saying 'I saw something!'. I'm afraid, apart from the cool nightvision and heat vision, the rest of the game is average at best. I'm not going to lie and say it's good even if it does mean it makes me look fanboyish. I'll stick with Hitman 2 and MGS2 I think. Sorry.

I saw it in a local newsagents (for local people) on Monday, your local shops must have sold out, take a trek to your local Smiths, sure they'll have it.

Yeh, it was not the best, Enter the Matrix looks good. Normally after a bad one we get a really good one so heres hoping.

Gonna pop into Tesoc's now to see if they've got it...
Tried in Woolworths yesterday and the newsagents, but it wasn't out.
I want to play the Splinter Cell demo, now.

thanks for the reply Shadow, I was looking forward to Paris Dakar 2 but it only got 4 out of 10 in CVG latest issue which is a shame.
I thought latest issue of OPS2M was worst ever, seriously think of cancelling my subscription.

So there is no decent reviews and there is only one decent playable demo! Sounds great! NOT!

£5.49 is a bit of a rip-off as PSM2 is much better and has a better DVD except for it has no playable demos! This month has a great 15 mins long Splinter Cell special on the DVD with an interview with Sam Fisher (seriously!) and in the mag it has a preview of Splinter Cell! Looks great!

I want to win GAD so I can choose Splinter Cell as my prize! I'm thinking of decent things to write about!
