Default Splinter Cell 2

Anyone buying this? I fancy a new Xbox game, and this is the only one that grabs me at the moment.

I liked the first one, so is it worth a purchase?

I don't buy many Xbox games, but I will be buying this one. Awesome looking game and I loved the first one. I just hope the single player is up to scratch cause now they've gone "multiplayer" mad they might have let it slip slightly!

Pre-ordered mine on the pc rather than the xbox this time around (so I can play it on the laptop). Not out till next Friday though

Looking forward to this one

Single player ok?
I'm not sure whether the new "3 stage" alert thing is a positive addition or not?

yep - got it yesterday from PC World - £29.99 - seemed a bargain

Only had an hour or so on it, but so far absolutely ACE!

The intro is the best I've seen yet on any game.

It generally plays the same as the first Splinter Cell (which is a good thing) with some extra touches - i.e. hanging upside down from a rope and firing.

Looks like I'm in for some late nights

Go buy it - you wont be dissapointed!

Have reinstalled the first version for now to get some practice in.

Only just got around to playing the first one which I got off ebay for a tenner. Seems pretty sweet so far so am guessing the sequel is mint!

Very cool game

Knackered now though, didnt get to bed til 3am

Love the new Swat turn, and the extra details - thought the courtyard spotlight thing was clever.

Love the new moves he can do! that bit where you "climb out" over the flames looks bloody awesome

I tried jumping over those flames at first, as I didnt realise I could climb around corners.

Needless to say I died!!

Although I will admit I jumped at it first time too
