Are the enemy all blind?

How can they miss Sam Fisher hiding in the shadows with that bloody great luminous green light on his back?! Not to mention the three 'green eyes' presented by the night vision goggles!

Other than that - fantastically amazing game!

Yeah, I was thinking that aswell, Also fire a stick camera ahead of Sam (Maybe onto a wall opposite whilts hes in the shadows) On the camera image you can see Sam clearl, How can the guards miss him?

Ah well, Fantastic Game.

Played it non-stop Christmas Day & Boxing Day in a mini-gaming-marathon.
Nothing quite beats skulking in the shadows unseen.

The only bit I thought didn't work was reading the keylocked doorpads with the thermal goggles in the Chinese Embassy. Only 3 keys showed up....

But other than that - top class.

Yeah, I too was wondering how they missed him with all the lighting :-D

Still, bloody excellent game. I love the bit in the FBI headquarters with the big room, two blokes, one guarding the elevator the other talking on the phone. Great fun, sneaking up behind him and dragging him into the shadows. Then picking up the can and lobbing it and sneaking up behind the other one as he moves. Awesome fun.

The end to that level was bloody annoying though. Getting Dougherty down the stairs and taking out the guards was easy, but it took so much bloody time!

Anyway, awesome game. Can't wait for the GC version.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
