It isn't out til today, a week later. 'scribers got it last week and that meant I could get it from GAME as they have it when 'scribers do.

Last week today. All I see is the Crime special and the beginner's special that they released a few weeks ago.

I cant find it anywhere either! When was it suppose to come out??

Yikes, I can't find the mag in the shops. Not even in WHSmith.

The aiming mode is virtually first person. You can still move around.

Ah, saw that. I like the black and white goggles, they rule. The camera is annoying me, and the animations are crap. Also there is no First Person? :S

Nath - see my earlier post. Pretty rantish, but I expressed similar disappointed views. It is growing on me though, and I've decided not to cancel my pre-order.

If you're having trouble with the controls try changing it to invert at the start.

And the thermal goggles are SOO crap.

Played the splinter cell demo and I agree with natbu. Its OK but definitely not a MGS2 beater.

As Splinter Cell comes out the same day as MGS2 Substance. Allegedly (At time of typing) 28th March. I will be purchasing MGS2 substance over Splinter Cell.

Oh, that's ok then. But the reason I noted about the fanboy thingy was because I was thinking they would be similar, and people would say the only reason I don't like it is to get at the XBox. But I don't like it. :)

Not a lot - pretty darn close to the Xbox version.

I thought they were great. Looks almost identical to the Xbox version, but lower resolution. All the lighting effects are still there, too.

That also happens in the Xbox version! I shot a guard dog in the Xbox version, and the guy walking next to it didn't bat an eyelid!

In terms of gameplay, the PS2 version has lost nothing from the Xbox version. So if you don't like it as it is, chances are you wouldn't have liked it anyway!
