Freelancer, Splinter Cell & IGI2 - impressions

[Motto]

Well I was hopeing to give a detailed review of all 3 of these games (Freelancer, Splinter Cel & IGI2), but cannot get IGI2 to run properly (although it runs fine on 2 of my mates machines) and to be honest I have not felt the need to go back and play Freelancer even though I have had it for 2 weeks now.

Yes Freelancer has beautifull graphics, very good so did freespace (although freelancer's are better). I must admit I am not particularly into space sims but I was up for this one. I have no idea why this game took 6 years to make. So far its been a case of take a job, shoot badies, buy equipment over and over. Who cares? Anyway, my mate has completed the main mission in a week and a half - yes he has a lot of spare time on his hands! but this was playing only in the evenings. Anyway can't comment because I haven't completed it - and I am probably never likely to.

Splinter cell however is definetly worth a look. I think the best part of this game is the animation oh and the AI's not bad either. At last a game that says you have to use stealth to succeed, actually works! I am not a third person fan but the way the character moves makes it alot more fun to look at than most other third person shooters.

Well I've had my ramble, see ya.

That's why i prefer games like IGI2. Stealth is nice and everything, but if things go haywire, or the sneaking around part gets tedious, it's nice to know that i can whip out my assault rifle, go nuts, and still have a chance to finish the mission. It's all about options and letting the player play the game the way he wants.
