Gammy v.2 said:
Exactly that, Zenien.
To me, it's just....no fun.
Maybe it's just the first level, which I've yet to beat, but think about it.
Many times I have tried to complete it but I always have this "meh" feeling when I start to play, why?
Btw, I never completed MGS2.
Do I need to know stuff before I start Snake Eater?
Agreed....SC:CT just isnt THAT fun. I played Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Choas Theory for the first time all in a row within like a months period last month. First of all LOVED it....completed the first game...Played Pandora tommorrow, and LOVED it...I actually felt like a spy at times.
But then after a while, the game just gets too repetitive. You end up doing the same thing to get past guards or knock them out/kill them. In the end, every level is the same. And the game has absolutly no replay value in my eyes. As soon as you know a level, the element of surprise and tension is gone. Infact, I bought them all on ebay, and sold them all on ebay already (making a nice £9 profit

).
And after playing Snake Eater, CT just feels like it's been rushed. Infact, I've realised, after playing Snake Eater, every game I finish seems like a let-down. The ending in Splinter Cell: CT just felt like an anti-climax....I dunno.
They needed to make it more like '24'...more like Snake Eater. More cut-scenes to actually have a flowing story-line which you feel emersed in. I feel the people at Ubisoft have to take this approach on the next installment if they want to take the game into the next dimension.
And as said, before you play Snake Eater, let me warn you (and anybody who hasnt played it, and intends to play it), every game's ending will seem like such a dissapointment, once you complete Snake Eater. It raises the bar in your expectation levels of what you expect from a game....so I warn you. If I played all the Splinter Cells before I played Snake Eater, I would probably hail the Splinter Cell series as one of my favourite.
Oh, and by the way...I take it there's no pictures of this new lowered 3rd person view on MGS???
