Splinter Cell - not so bad

[SadistBlue]

I usually read game review websites like gamespot or ign for reviews before I obtain a game for my system. For the most part it gives a good reflection of expecations. However I overlooked this title while viewing gamespots 6.2. Now before someone burns the game to the ground, know I've never played a Splinter Cell/Metal Gear Solid game (The spy thing just never occured to me to be fun -- far wrong). I've read its watered down, but none the less I'm really enjoying the title. Seems to produce a lot of replay value.

I just never see anyone mention this game, it could be that they already own it for another system, but if you don't I'd recommend it. The controls are a bit finicky compared to say a dualshock, but it's still fun.

I agree, it is a fun game, and I'm assuming we are talking about Double Agent. The co-op is a lot of fun, because you really need each other to finish each level. I recommend it to anyone who is wanting to play a pretty decent co-op game.

Yea that would take some fun out of it. I'm going to have to assume you don't have any space left on your wii.

i played it on gamecube.

 

[blueovalboy7]

Ah, my bad, on the wii its actually quite fun. Have to flick the remote to jump and to perform many of the co-op moves. Aiming and shooting is a bit quirky though.

 

[TortillaChip520]

lol well i DEF wont ever buy that game again

 

[blueovalboy7]

Oh yea, I just recommend renting it. I don't think it is worth buying unless you truly love the game.

 

[TortillaChip520]

i loved it, but i can not play it anymore ever again lol. it's like if you eat ur favorite food too much, ya know?

 

[blueovalboy7]

Haha, yea I completely understand what you mean. Was it just too irritating to have to restart each time, to the point where it bothers you to just play it?

 

[TortillaChip520]

well, i would play as far as i could, and then i'd try to get farther, 'til i finally got a card. needless to say i got reeeaaally good at the game. it was the only game i had at the time too, so i just kept playing the final level cuz it was the funnest. i also beat the last level on elite mode (i woulda done the whole game, but i was so sick of it lol)

 

[blueovalboy7]

I see, so you just beat it so many times, that it just wasn't as fun anymore.

 

[TortillaChip520]

yep.

Agreed, but seriously, he is only a vetern at infiltrating places undetected, it's expected the scope on his gun takes him a couple of seconds-minutes to line up. (sarcasm) I swear most of my time in the game is spent aiming the pistol's OCP.
