EDIT: Apparently option 5, which is Manhunt, has been removed. I don't know why, but it wasn't me. Sorry for anyone who wanted to vote for it.
This isn't supposed to be a flame thread, so sorry if it may seem like one.
Anyway, I wondered what would be the Escapists favorite stealth series, since Conviction was released not long ago (I think), so I wondered which ones would be. The series included on the poll are mentioned below, and I would like you to read them if you haven't played any other game than, let's say, Metal Gear or Splinter Cell.
One would be Tenchu, making it's first release, with Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, in 1998 for the PlayStation, and was particular interesting as one played as a ninja in feudal Japan.
Another one would be of course the Metal Gear series, having first started in 1987 with Metal Gear for the MSX2, and since then having a huge number of sequels, spinoffs, remakes, etc, etc.
Probably one of the most known would be Splinter Cell, with it's first game released in 2002 on the PC, XBOX and PS2 and having it's sixth sequel already released if I recall correctly today.
Another one would be Hitman, having it's first game released, Hitman: Codename 47, in the year 2000.
The probably most controversial stealth focused game series would be Manhunt, controversial for it's high level of gore, violence and being made by Rockstar, having only 2 games released, the first one being released in 2003 for the PS2 and later on 2004 for the XBOX. It was less stealthy in the second half apparently, but it's still considered as one.
Beyond Good And Evil is another one, although I may say it was kinda weak in comparison to the rest of the games in the stealth formula, it did had a particular focus during nearly all the game, and actually it did quite well, so it's on the list. It was released in 2003, and apparently there is a sequel in development.
My personal favorite and who vote would go for would be Thief, incorporation many elements that many games would use, apart that it makes stealth masterfully and having a great story, setting and AI (at least for it's time). It has three games released until now, the fourth being in development. The first game was released in 1998 for the PC.
If you other game, please tell my which, although I don't have any more space in the poll, and also please say in which platform if possible (I'm interested in more PC stealth games, as I'm a PC mostly gamer).
