I'm gonna steal the old skool reviewing methods of OXM as I'm not in the mood for long posts.

Good Points -

* Single Player is orgasmic
* Co-op is orgasmic
* AI is...yup you guessed it orgasmic

Bad Points -

* Warehouse and head jumping are back seemingly unchanged
* No cinema or Hospital
* Proxy voice in co-op doesn't seem to work as well as I'd hoped
* Assholes in VS are back, didn't get to play Spies at all last night

Spies VS Merc is yet to impress me to be honest but I'm sure that'll change when all the people I know get the game today. Last night it was a case of the same old crap people not joining your server unless they can play spies, oh and already about 50% of the optimatch games were playing Warehouse which is seriously depressing. Oh and words can't describe how large and confusing the new VS levels are, it's gonna take an age to learn these things and the fact that all the levels have totally different kinds of objectives doesn't help at all.

Co-op however is sublime. We played through the first level which took a hell of a long time, the good thing was that the AI was constantly changing their tactics and suprising you around every corner. Favourite moment so far was when my partner was getting ready to slam a door open on a guard, to his suprise the guard used exactly the same tactic on him and sent him flying across the room.

So anyway excellent game so far, it's met pretty much all of my expectations already and I've hardly even scratched the surface.

Another gooden was on co-op on the 2nd level. Threw some smoke grenades in a room and one of the guards says

"Hmmmm it look like somebody got some smoke grenades for Christmas"

"Huh? Those cheap lights!"

'The light's gone!'
'They go by themselves you know'
*grab*
'Arrr!'

etc

Played some more versus last night with mates and it was just class. I really do love this game.

:D

The best thing Ive come across is some guard talking about how they were attacked by ninjas when they were guarding an oil rig, which is obviously a reference to the Oil Rig mission on the first Splinter Cell.

Then when you grab him the convo goes something like this..

"Woah! I knew there was ninjas around here"

"Look I'm not a ninja"

"How did you manage to sneak up on me like that then?"

"I'm the type of guy who will kill you if you don't.."

"Woah! killed by a real live ninja, can you use your blowpipe?"

I'm loving it more and more.

"I'm the kind of guy who gets blood over your Andretti if you don't give me information."

"Please! Don't ruin my suit."

*tightens neck hold*

"You're wrinkling the fabric!"

i might get this when its abit cheaper.

I love the banter between Fisher and the advisors during ops, especially a dig on their first version on the 2nd level.

Fisher: Don't tell me. Three alarms and the mission is over?
Lambert: Of course not. This isn't some video game Fisher.

As for multiplayer, few of the levels take place on my 21st birthday. WOW

why?
