Thumbs up

got to L4 last night 'the Oil Rig' - what a gr8 game this is turning into seems to get better by the minute!

If you've got an Xbox and dont mind a bit of stealth em up recommend you get it - it rocks!

Cool

I finally finished the game over the last weekend! took me around 20 hours (minimum) to finish it. Of course this includes my little Basketball exercise in the CIA-Level (throwing coke-cans in baskets etc.). Wait until you will meet those nasty doberman dogs, that chase you around the Chinese Embassy(!!!)& the last level. The Dogs are very smart. All in all, SC is one of my most favorite game i played in a loooong time!!

Well here's the first question and stop laughing at my inept gaming abilities. It takes me a while to understand how the levels are designed and get a feel for the game.

I'm in the first mission, completed a couple of stages and have just killed two policemen and a drunk and have walked into a courtyard with a big water fountain in the middle. I can't seem to access anything in here. Any pointers?

I thought I had (should I use the goggles to see the something?). Ok, will try again this evening.

Great game by the way. Don't normally like third person games but getting quite into it.

fantastic game but not much replay value tho and the ending is a total letdown but still a very very good game shame the last level is one of the easyest ones

that first level when you end up in the square drove me up the piggin wall!

took me ages to find the entrance behind the bushes

The game seems to have several sections like that when you end up wondering aimlessly around trying to find the entrance to the next area.

Still a top game tho!

Wot's it like ?

The Thing is OK but not a patch on splinter cell, though it does have some scary moments just like the film, especially through 7.1 almost crapped myself on a few occasions.

yup thats what i used altho it only took me 2 hours to get it back i swapped it for moto GP and thats great altho very easy so far finishing almost every race 30 - 50 seconds ahead gets a bit boring but when you change the sounds of the bikes its quite a laugh

You need to get upstairs onto the roof, I won't tell you how cos thats cheating . I just did the Abbatoir and the 2nd Chinese Embassy last night and now moved to the Presidential Palace.

Going to be well disappointed when I complete it. Its the coolest game I've ever played.

PS walkthroughs on here if its getting to you that much

Edited - dodgy link
