Yawn. You're just the typical guy who wants Chaos Theory 2 and can't get over the fact that no matter how good Chaos Theory was, it didn't sell well. They haven't shown Grim significantly in previews, so I don't know how you're sitting here telling me how she is in this game. Also, Sam Fisher is the same character, he's just super pissed because his daughter's dead and he's playing by his own rules now.

Killing meant to be a last resort? Sorry, but there's some parts of those games where you have no choice but to kill someone, like the final mission in the original where you have to snipe someone in the head through a window. The only time you were ever discouraged from killing was by the score at the end of levels on Chaos Theory or missions where all the enemies are civilians. Hell, they even gave you a knife to use in Chaos Theory as well.

I don't see how killing being required in some portions or killing existing in the game is a refutation of "Killing is supposed to be a last resort". It was precisely because it was absolutely required, that Lambert lifts the restrictions on Sam, and gives him the Fifth Freedom to kill the Georgian President, to kill Shetland in those situtations.

And from the clips I saw of Grim, it's something like:

Sam: "Why are you doing X?

Grim: "Shut up and do what I say"

Sam: "Tell me why"

Grim: "Shut the fuck up!"

 

While she's doing some pissy looking pose, dressed up like that girl in MGS4.

Isn't Metal Gear the same length minus the cut scenes? It's probably an action filled 5 hrs, not filled with boring filler parts to add extra hrs.


No. Although you can fly through the gameplay on a multiple playthrough in that length of time or less. First playthrough your talking double that at the minimum. Taking out the cut scenes doesn't really make much sense though. It's one of the games biggest selling points. And going by the ratio of the demo I would expect about an hour of the  5 in SC to be comprised of cut scenes as well.


no, MGS4 took me 25 hours to finish on my first run on Hard. and that's just the single player campaign. also matt247 = troll.



Damn I thought Splinter cell was more single player focused?

I dont even think this guy has a 360... just a guess of course. his post history defies his claims of being multi-platform. live id?

not only that. but who the hell doesnt like multiplayer?!

Is it really that hard to believe multiplayer isn't for everyone? I can tolerate it on occasion, particularly with fighting games, but I don't enjoy it. The only time I have ever been on Live for multiplayer is when I got a free trial and that was about 3 years ago. I haven't even updated my firmware. I'm still using the original.

yes. it really is. i am not joking. How do you not enjoy beating/teaming others? i find it unhuman.

Some of us have busy schedules+kids+other things to do with life so sometimes gaming takes a back seat.

 

I'm a full time university student with 2 kids and 1 on the way, not to mention I run a business and have to keep the household running. My wife also works.

 

My time that I can devote to gaming is very precious and a compelling single player experience gets precedence over being called a ****** on a multiplayer service while doing the same redundant shit over and over and over again.

 

That being said, I will not drop 60$ (70$ here in Canada), on somehting so short. 8 hours is my cut off point for paying full price for a game. I will pick it up when it hits the bargain bin.

that has nothing to do with the other guy was saying, i understand you have no time on your hands. But if you did? your telling me you wouldnt like multiplayer? that, i cannot believe. and good luck to you. Hope that once your done you have enough time and money to play all the video games you want =l

It's alright to say what you think but some people are saying stuff just to provoke.

Just a warning to some people -

If you say you will be renting this, watch out... You will be a baddie!

I understand that renting a game is not a sell for the company, but as long as you are supporting some area of the game industry with nyour money I don't see aproblem with it. I have purchased about 80 wii games (about 80 percent of that was new) and rented about 70 more. I see it as supporting my console in a variety of forms. If more people rent wii games then places stock more copies to rent. And with movies successful rentals still equate to revenue from the film to the producers. I am not sure of the exact liscence on games though. If I buy new and used games at gamecrazy they are incentivised to stock both new and used. New games are most likely to help developers, and spur more development so I prefer to buy used when the game has disapeared from retail stores. There have been a few occasionswhe I boght used early, such as Scribblenauts. I actually could not find a copy for several days after launch and stumbled on a used copy so I bought it. Overall, I see myself as supporting the gaming industry on many fronts.

5 hours omg uncharted 2 was 5 hours and i still loved it so whats the differences with this game

Uncharted 2 was not 5 hours.

yeah i basically beat it in 4 hours 30 min first play through so i think its save to say its a 5 hour game

... No you didn't, unless you can provide a picture as proof, y'know, taken from your camera or something?

If you add up the cutscene times (Found in the viewer) you'll see there's a good hour and half of cutscenes, which would mean aside from them you completed the game in just 3 hours gametime, correct? And if you went through the game without the cutscenes first time, you're just dumb.

But my opinion stands, unless you can give us some form of proof, I'm putting you as lying. My first playthrough was 10 hours and I just got straight to the point, my second was around 12-13 and that was collecting the treasures...

not going to lie uncharted 2 wasn't that long and it was pretty easy (scratch the town part with the tank) the enemies were easy for the most part, the big blue guys died pretty fast with the arrows and the puzzles were all in your book (and the think on the fly problems weren't hard at all) so i'm surprised it takes people more then 10 hours to complete the signal player campaign (unless your looking for treasure)and sorry i dont have any video to show you (btw i did't count cutscenes so its more of 5 hours and 30 minutes haha) and iam sorry i beat un2 fast i will slow down next time




Its not on topic but its funny, after reading the review I remark something. The points are as follow:

Presentation 9
Graphics 8.5
Sound 9
Gameplay 9
Lasting appeal 8
Overall 9.3/10 (not an average)

I understand the fact that the overall is not an average but how can it be higher than the single best score? Video game review on the internet are getting ridiculous. The game maybe deserve 9.3 out of 10 but then the reviewer should at least select a 9.3 or higher for one of his evaluation criteria. Not being an average doesnt mean the overall can surpass every evaluation criterias lol.



I beated halo in 15 min! what you gonna say about that? LOL!
