This is stupid, you know what certain people are going to say. People who don't own a PS3 or are Anti-PS3 are going to play Splinter Cell. Only people to have fully played both should comment.

After playing them both I agree totally with Dgc1808. Although Splinter Cell is better with Pure Stealth, once you get connected to the MGS series there is no comparison

 

i have played both

 

not sure what you mean 'connected'  thats a pretty subjective term

 

i connected to both, splinter cell is way better

I mean connected as in connected to the story, characters and plot.

MGS is superior, thats why many call it the best game of all time, thats why when you watch a Raiden Cutscene you go 'Oh Shit'

 

I was originally going to jokingly post that Splinter Cell is superior, because of what Metal Gear turns fanboys of it into.  But, I will go with the above post and comment why MGS has an issue.  When asked which GAME was superior, a CUTSCENE from MGS was used as a rationalization for why MGS is a better GAME.  I believe we have a problem when cutscenes are used as justification for a game being better.  And this is the issues with MGS, and particularly MGS4.  You get a TON of LONG cutscenes.  They are good from a VIDEOGAME standard, but from a cinema standard they are ORDINARY on the high end.  NONE of them would win an academy award.  And this is the BIG issue I have with MGS now.  People use cutscenes as justification for a game being great.  If it weren't for the long cutscenes in MGS4, the game would be above average, and not hyped up as all that.
