SPLINTER CELL

the internal conflict over whether it was gonna be a "metal gear killer" or thief successor resulted in it missing both its marks, but taken as a linear series of stealth-themed puzzle rooms it's still pretty good. looks great, has a fantastic soundtrack, and even a couple stages that bother to give the systems some air. not my favourite thing in the world, but if you were the kinda guy who spent countless hours calling raiden gay on the ign boards back in 2002 it must've felt like a heavenly oasis. alas.. i like my stealth freeform and fruity, and it doesn't get less freeform or fruity than this
