Poll: Best stealth game

[necromanzer52]

Chronicles of Riddick are the only good ones I've ever played.

surprisingly im going with Batman, I think Hell just froze over

 

[Stormcloud23]

Thief all the way... I really hope #4 is being made.

 

[Bubble]

What? Where, where, where the hell is Thief 2?

 

[Julianking93]

While Metal Gear Solid is my favorite game of all time, the game I think does stealth the best is Batman Arkham Asylum

Seriously. The stealth to combat mix works almost perfectly.

Thief is very enjoyable, not to sound like a Yahtzee fanboy.

WTF?! James Bond but no Hitman? I hated stealth until I played Hitman.

I thought about hitman but because I am terrible at the stealth aspect I wrongly catoragrised it to a shooter.

You are sadly lacking thief but in its absence i would say mgs, although it does seem to have lost a bit of stealth over the years it is still better than good

Hence the other selection.

Yeah but i don't like other options on polls because they don't add anything to the poll, those people voting for other can be for anything so it is pretty pointless to add, whereas i can vote for my favorite on the list and add a vote that has a point.

I was really bad at stealth when I started playing it. I would find a defensible position and open up on the first slob I saw. But then I stepped back and started watching the patrol routes, and I realized that is was actually easier to do the stealth. By the end of Contracts and Blood Money, I was getting Silent Assassin every time. Still can't do it in Hitman 2 though, damn India missions.

I'd choose Splinter Cell and Hitman, although I've been told that thief is the mostr brilliant stealth game

Thanks for the advice (it was advice, wasn't it?)

I voted Splinter Cell because in that game I find the need to use stealth. In MGS I don't use as much stealth because being caught is more of an inconvenience than a punishment. I heard the Thief series uses stealth well, but I can't find it online.

 

[Robert Mason]

I've heard Thief did it well, but never having played it, I'll go with Splinter Cell.

Conviction is looking a lot less stealthy, though.

Yeah I keep hearingabout this game. I'll look into it.

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

Pick Batman AA as I aint played a Splintercell in a long time

 

[AMMO Kid]

The only game so far to have done true stealth correctly (ie. functions) while being fun as heck:

Stealth, as in 'enemy doesn't know anyone visited until the next morning when lights come on (if even then), and they can never point the finger at you with any kind of evidence'- stealth.

Not stealth as in 'sneak into a corner in a room filled with enemies, then slaughter them all' -wannabestealth.

I made walkthroughs for all the Splinter Cell games, and I never even knocked anyone out unless the story required it

 

[Richard Hannay]

Has anyone played a James Bond game with a stealth mechanic.

Everything or Nothing had some stealth-oriented sections. Mostly it meant using a tranq gun instead of a P99 and only fighting one guy at a time, so it was stealth in a sort of bullshit sense of the term.

All users who cited Thief II or the Thief series in general are correct in response to the OP.

 

[Iwata]

I'd say the Splinter Cell series pulls it off better. Metal Gear Solid, its direct rival, is far more action-oriented.

Arkham Asylum pulled it off pretty well, too.

 

[Omnific One]

Splinter Cell. Usually.
