"YOU MUST SEE THESE!"

These are probably some of the most impressive screenshots I have ever seen.

You must also see them.

The stained glass windows, the lighting effects, the delail...

Everyone who doesn't own an xbox must also see them as the game is multiplatform (will it look as good on PS2, I don't think so)

Graphics arn't everything I know, ahh sod it, yes they are.

Forget MGS, Splinter cell is going to rock, oh yes...

This comment doesn't even deserve a response, considering Metal Gear 1 wasn't even that graphically impressive.

Damn...I just gave it a response. :D

Not very impressing.

Nice graphics aint much cop when you can't control anything because the controller is so poorly designed. I mean why an earth would you put two analogue sticks diagonal to each other it just feels weird. Then there is the actual buttons, cheap, shiny, oval and small, it also amazes me that a controller modelled on a breeze block still manages to make the six buttons close enough to press at the same time. Perhaps if they didn't have that stupid X in the middle they would have space for actual functions.

Thats what they have started doing with some of the newer PC titles...
And by the sound of things doing with this title too...

they look ok

the top few are good but Perfect Dark can do just as wel as the bottom ones.

lmao

I'm still trying to work out what 'delail' is...

Ummmmmm that really isn't very impressive, I saw lighting effects like that on the good old N64.

Well, for me personally, it's nothing to do with whether or not it's a quality title.

I've never been interested in these Tom Clancy games even on PC or PS2, and some pretty lighting effects aren't going to change my mind!

Nope. It was originally, but like Wreckless, Malice and another game I can't recall at the moment, it's not any more.
