"Anyone got Splinter Cell on GC yet?"

Went down to SR today to get it for my brother but the store nearest me, the one in Egham, didn't have any copies. Had to go down the road to to get it from another shop. It's my brother's and he's not permitting me to play on it till he gets home, as I'm on study leave. Should be a pretty good game.

I've got the Xbox version which i blooming excellent. You can hit them on the head with your gun, but only if you grab them from behind first...

Mine still ain't come!

Eventually got round to playing Splinter Cell last night, excellent game so far, mucho fun.

One thing I don't like is hitting people on the head, why can't I just cap them with my silenced pistol? he's got the thing held up next to his head, surely chunks of skull spraying everywhere is more intresting than bonking someone on the head.

Anyway, small niggle and not really a niggle more a case of me being sadistic. Wasn't sure about the game at first, thought the level design was a bit claustrophobic, but tis a bloody excellent game.

I never said I did it through on one go. 4 of the areas I got through without having to go back or continue but some of the areas where you were forced to shoot took me a few goes to get it right. They were the only areas I actually used my guns as well. I managed to get past the cameras in every section without needing to shoot them out.

Pfft Alastair you silly willy.

(Ignore the homosexual insult)

Anyone can do that. Even I could!

Still I believe Splinter Cell is one excellent title worth owning, The stealth and "coolness" factor of it blend together nicely.

No.

You made it sound as if you went straight through without being shot at all.

I didn't realise you meant every time you got shot you just reloaded that section and did it again.

Anyone can do that.

Why is it ridiculous? Every time I got shot I went back to the checkpoint until I did it without being shot. I would take a sad barstuad to lie about something this trivial. I did it on both Normal and Hard without being shot once or losing ANY health at all. When I got shot or made a mistake I went back to the previous checkpoint until I could get it right.

Its not my fault you are rubbish at it.

Well I was less than impressed with the first level.

Maybe it's because Splinter Cell does everything better. The only thing Hitman has over it was the choice of how to do things, but all the choices in the first level end up as basically the same thing.

Shhhhhhhh

Hitman 2 looks superb.

Actually it does have some difficult parts. And your early claim of going through the whole game without getting shot once is absolutely ridiculous.


Hitman 2 on the other, is crap.
