I think this series is a victim of sequelities.

If you ask me, it also says that if youre going to do that, use numbered titles. I got no idea how many games in the series there are. Its not a series you can easily jump into.

But it's not like it's a series based heavily on story anyway. It just launched at the wrong time.

It kinda is.  Sam Fisher had to kill his boss, find his dead daughter (or some shit.  I can't remember.) was still alive, and become a fugitve.  Storyline is pretty important--not in a MGS way, but still.
