  |  Hmmmmmm, there is news out there but I don't bother to read knock-offs of MGS.

| I thought the Splinter Cell games where amazing. As far as a knock off? Lets face it, the idea is a very generic one. It will always be a knock off of something, much like MGS borrowed its ideas else where. These were not the first games to incorporate stealth.

| I've pretty much hated each splinter cell made, and I've bought the first two. They were so much trial and error and got pretty old after awhile, and I didn't like the gameplay much anyway; it seemed like you had to do stuff a certain way in order to succeed. The Metal Gear games are a pretty old franchise that spanned before ps1. The games possibily did borrow from others but on the whole the franchise always seems to prove its uniqueness.

| Well, I thought it was a great game. Granted, starting off there was a VERY big learning curve but after that it was an awesome game and it really got me into it. To each his own, though

| Eh, yah there was kind of a learning curve. After I got used to it, it actually made the game even more boring because it just became insanely repetitive. The story is weak too.

| Thought it was a great game, myself. The next one I'm looking forward to, as well when he kind of goes rogue.
