Officially it is out in the UK tomorrow (30th March) however my local game shop let me have it today as he received his delivery of it this morning. I have never played a stealth game before and its making my heart pound, I keep having to pass the controller to my boyfriend because I get scared, what with the music and the noises! lol! : )

Well as Im female I normally like games like Sonic and platformers (dont laugh) but this is really good. I sit on the edge of my seat when I play it! The creepy noises and the footsteps make my skin tingle! When I nearly got killed earlier the music got really loud and I panicked and dropped the controller lol!

This has gotta be the hottest Splinter Cell thread yet. Girls keep going we wanna hear more P.S I went to my local Best Buy to pick up Splinter Cell they didn't have it in stock so I ended up getting 3 BluRay films instead. Damn Sony and their BluRay drive, everytime I stop buy BestBuy end up picking up a movie.

I dont always buy a game by the reviews on the internet. Unless of course you find that you normally agree with them then I can understand why you would want to read the review first, however, for me, I like to try games with an open mind and make my own opinion on them : )

Well, I really only care about ONE aspect of the review itself, and that is the tilt value, or, as I like to call it, the fun factor. A game is only as good as how much fun can be had with it. Hehe trust me...I stopped basing my purchases on reviews when LoZ: Twilight Princess didn't get an editor's choice. That rating was absurd (although accurate), and really opened my mind that a review simply cannot tell the whole story. So yeah, waiting to see the online play in SC: DA :).

I want it but I want to play it online. Does it look like there are any might be any mic support? And do you know if there is online co-op hopefully after taking this long they would have added it. Heard it wasn't on the 360 one??

I've played the PS2 version before i got my PS3 and i just don't feel too excited about it. I'm really looking forward to Rainbow Six Vegas though, now that's a great game.

i find that stealth games are best when you play them with all the lights off and the sound way up, pretty much all the PS2 splinter cell games were pretty weak, is this one a more action oriented style of gameplay (like with more automatic weapons and not so many "don't kill anybody missions" or is it like all the other ones?

Well as Im female I normally like games like Sonic and platformers (dont laugh) but this is really good. I sit on the edge of my seat when I play it! The creepy noises and the footsteps make my skin tingle! When I nearly got killed earlier the music got really loud and I panicked and dropped the controller lol!

 

Just out of curiosity, if you usually only play platformers, what made you go for the PS3? It'll probably end up being a great choice with Ratchet and Clank, but it just seems like you might reach for a Wii.

I have got: Motorstorm Resistance fall of man splinter cell ultimate alliance NFS carbon virtua fighter Ridge racer Sonic def jam icon and for your information my favourites are Motorstorm, virtua fighter, sonic, splinter cell and ridge racer! I have broadened my horizons and I love MY PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty indignant response to a pretty innocent question. Enjoy your new console and ease up on the tension.

I've always preferred MGS games, but Double Agent looks pretty good.

This thread has convinced me to get a game that I was not going to get. Could never get into previous Splinter Cells, but I don't think I really gave them a fair chance.
Going to pick this one up later today or tomorrow and have a good crack at it.

The whole stealth aspect does take some getting used to especially if you're used to games where you run around every corner guns blazing.

Unfortunately it isn't more action oriented. Double Agent is a closer match to the original splinter cell, imo. A mix of action and stealth. While, imo, Pandora Tomorrow was mostly action and Chaos Theory was mostly stealth. The cool part about Double Agent is that you have 2 rep meters. One for the NSA and one for the bad guys. You get main missions and side missions that affect your loyalty levels with the 2 groups. Sometimes you have required objectives that you can only choose to go one way with, either NSA or JBA(bad guys), hence double agent. It's up to your discretion which way you align.
