Am I right in believing they all are released on the same day? If so what one will you be buying first? I am undecided so maybe some of you guys could help me out!

-MGS:Substance-looks impressive but like MGS2 too much I think. Nothing new
-Splinter Cell-looks brilliant but the playable demo isn't all that.
-Devil May Cry 2-looks fun to play but is said to be worst than the first.

Please reply with your views. Thanks!

I had been trying to decide between these three for some time, and eventually made a completely different decision. I went for Kingdom Hearts! :D

I decided that after a few reviews stating that DMC2 was a real let down after the original, that I would stick with my old copy of DMC and not worry about new stuff.

Splinter Cell really didn't look that great to me. I thought that the way the main character moved looked fairly unrealistic, not sure why, but it just had that "this is a puppet show" feel to it. Besides, I`d go for Metal Gear over this any day.

But... perhaps not Metal Gear Substance. If I had gone for one of the three, it would have been this, but only just. The new VR missions would have been just enough to tempt me over the other two, but not enough to make me buy it.

As a result... didn`t go for any of them, and looked back in time a little to see what I`d missed during my exams, and found Kingdom Hearts.

And the fact that you can pick up MGS2 for less than £20 makes it my choice

Have you actually played Splinter Cell?? The graphics are good, but it's slow, unwealdy and dull.

i played the demo on the pc...and wasn't impressed by it cos it was so short and easy...
i bought the full game nonetheless and it is a lot funner and more challenging

I played a demo of splinter cell on the PC, one word Booorrrring. Suppose it's good if you like that thing, but I don't so I'd recommend DMC2.

Definately get DMC2. I have it. Its brilliant.

MGS: Substance - Looks and sounds too much like SOL.
Splinter Cell - Cant comment really, never played it and not seen any media.
DMC2 - I have it, and it rules.

Think man, Splinter Cell rocks, the graphics are off the scale and the gameplay never gets tedious or boring. MGS2 is repetitive, boring and the AI of the guards is brutal to say the least.DMC2, dont get me started on this, please dont, this is the most dissapointing game ever to me because it just doesnt feel as good as the first one and lacks the playability. Trust me, Splinter Cell is the one to go for but no doubt you have it already.
