Which do you prefer? i've heard that MGS has a better story, but Splinter Cell has better gameplay.

I'd go for Splinter Cell, thier games are more serious and fun

The MGS series has always been a little too....homoerotic for my tastes. All the gay references in the names and whatnot and the guy in tight clothes doing slow-motion ballet during gunfire is just about as gross as you can get. Skip this series!

I like the MGS series more, but Splinter Cell is great too... they're very different types of games - Splinter Cell has the Tom Clancy espionage vibe going, with badass secret agents gallivanting around Eastern Europe and that sort of thing, while MGS has a quirky vibe that's impossible to describe but very evident when you play it.

I have tried a couple MGS games and didnt like them almost instantly. I got SplinterCell for Xbox when it came out and have loved Splinter Cell games since. I have bought every one of them as soon as they come out.

Come on, Splinter Cell cannot compare to the legendary solider Solid Snake. Seriously he's the original stealth master. Snake taught Sam Fisher everything he knows.

Meh, Snake would probably do something stupid like hide in a box and Sam Fisher would lit it on fire.

Personally I'm much more into Splinter Cell than I am with MGS. I just love the whole dark, foreboding atmosphere that game conveys.

I dont understand the comparison between Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. Considering there completely different games.Uvavooh

I do like SC but I prefer MGS.

The comparison lies in that they are both stealth action games. Some gameplay elements are similar in that they can both grab from behind and creep up on enemies. You are right though, they don't play exactly the same, as Sam uses his environments more than Snake.

It has to be MGS, there is no way SC would have come close to it, in SC if you get caught you're screwed, in MGS i can go rampage for all i care :P

In one or two of the SC games if you get caught a certain amount of times the mission doesn't end, it just gets harder. I think it was Chaos Theory.

Huh? The MGS games were designed to be brutally hard if you tried to go rampage... unless you're talking about MGS3/4 that is.

I never really played Splinter Cell so I don't know to much about it. So I think I prefer MGS.

Splinter Cell is more funpatriots2871

Splinter Cell is down right boring imo I could not get into the game. I like MGS the best and its also the original stealth action game Syphon Filter and Splinter Cell are only imitators.

They are both great games but even though metal gear has some fictitious elements I feel that it portrays stealth gameplay alot better than splinter cell. Also the story lines and dialogue in Metal Gear are top notch. Just go for METAL GEAR

MGS is a legendary series that will be remembered and compared to for years to come. SC is a good technical game, but pretty boring at times.

I've played through mgs1 and 2. I've only played SC PT and disliked it. I usually don't care too much if a story isn't good but the game was just lame. The characters are so plain compared to mgs.
