Hmm..I'm not sure about that. Me and Emitime seem to have some pretty good questions.

Also, bear in mind that MG and MGS were the pioneers in this genre, some of the gameplay and ideas in SC are taken FROM MGS.

You can move the camera around a bit now, lock it in diff positions so you can moniter peeps who would usually be just off screen. The control sytem can get a bit complex at times, but its easy enough to go through the game without using the complex stuff. (One of the worst is jumping out from a corner, aiming and shooting in FPV mode, then releasing the First Person button and hiding back around the corner. The control is something like this: L/R2, Square, R1, release square, release R1, Release L/R2, whilst all the time holding the left analong stick up so your back is pressed aginst the wall, but when aiming the left analong stck must then be used for aim. ahhhhh!!!!!!)

But yeah, you shouldn't be shooting anyway XD, so its not much of a problem. Something to improve though.

Fixed camera, dodgy controls...

Yeah tell him Emitime!

MGS = majorly fun AND storylines to challenge those of Final Fantasy. That's pretty damn impressive!

Played Chaos Theory much?

Of which you get about 3 per level.

Ringfoil rounds. Easy.

Also charging through a boat knifing people on the fly is much more fun.

SC is awful for that.

"Don't use lethal force!"

Balls to that. I'll take over the top story lines and fun gameplay over splinter cell.

Another good thing about Splinter Cell is that it now adapts to how you want to play it, if you want to go in kicking doors and making a lot of noise then you can, on the otherhand you can be extremely stealthy but withthe knowledge that should the **** hit the fan the game will allow you to properly and realistically combat your enemies.
