Splinter Cell

I was going to get this on Saturday but then I remembered that I never even finished Pandora Tomorrow (too dull, although I loved the first game) so I didn't bother. Looks like I've saved myself 70 quid, as there seems to be a lot of criticism online that it's waaay to short and the branching storyline really counts for naught.

Apparently the online mp makes up for it somewhat, but my 360 is currently languishing offline so that's no good.

What do those who have it think?

I haven't got it yet but I've heard nothing but great things about it on forums and its getting great reviews

Pandora tomorrow was made by a different ubisoft studio than all the other games, I didn't like it either.

(ubisoft france, they make the multiplayer, but for pandora tomorrow, they made the single player too)

But the new game is very good, I'm NOT fond of the double agent/enemy HQ missions that you have to do 3+ times during the course of the game, but the proper missions are splinter cell at it's best.

I for one, think the third game was the best, simply because it was pure level enjoyment. In this game, you complete a very satifying mission, and the following mission is back at enemy HQ, which is boring as shíte.

I bought it on saturday. It's good, though I might bring it back cos the Dead Rising demo is so awesome!

Yeah, that was another reason for not buying it, I've got DR to play, Bully is on the way from play.com, I still have only 1 sodding Colossus killed and there's about half a dozen games on the 360 horizon that I crave.

I'm loving it so far - and as for the multiplayer , thats been fixed up nicely. Finally Bots are available on an xbox live game !

I think Argos have it for €60.

The branching storyline is a bit weak in spots. Some of the voice dialouge contradicts what one would expect to be said after being under suspicion for sabotage.

The game seemed a little bit on the short/easy side. Perhaps that's becasue the amount of open space in this game makes it easier to move around.

That said, i enjoyed it very much. Visually speaking it's quite impressive. Especially the Shanghai mission.

If anyone is looking for this Argos and HMV are selling it for €60, anywhere else I looked has it for €75.

Or even play asia like in my sig

Tank Top Fever!

Finished this last night

far too easy (normal difficulty) and far too short

Having the same HQ level pop up in the game four times is bad form
