I know if I was a part of an organization trying to take over the US my time would be better spent playing Hungry Hungry Hippos as well.

Montreal zinger. Hahaha. This is one review of his that was entertaining and I agree with every single point. Its not fun AT ALL! Everything is done for you. If wanna see a guy shooting people and it looks cool but I'm not the one doing it, i could just watch a fucking Jason Statham movie and hold a control in my hand. Why would i pay $60?
I had to laugh. "Ubisoft Montreal? Well, that explains it." Dunno why, but it struck me as funny.
So... Sam Fisher is Yoshi now? and way to plug your book at the end.
Great review, keep up the good work.

I miss Pandora Tomorrow. Immersive, varied, utterly unforgiving.
The new mechanic seems to remove much of the immediate interaction, which frankly defeats any sense of the very real threat which was always present in the original four installations.
Penumbra was excellent in this respect, as you weren't a trained secret operative rather than a random bloke with severe daddy baggage stranded underneath a glacier with murderous beasties all around.
Sneaking was an essential, not a prerogative.

Yeah i know why should i use a machine gun when i get the best weapon in the game after like 30 minutes in game (speaking of the five seven here)
And the game is PISSEASY
even on very hard its just too easy
and for the stealth?
yeah well fuck it
like yahtzee said u have to kill all of them anyway...
nah i dont think it was a very good game
the graphics are good but thats just sad that u have to admire graphics on a game to keep playing it
overall ure speaking teh truuuuth here

Great review as ever.
Though the thought of Yahtzee actually performing a terrorist attack on the White House is an interesting thought.

The plot sounds every bit as contrived as the story for a season of 24, so I'll definitely be giving this a pass.
Well done on both the review and the novel, Yahtzee.

Based on what Yahtzee said, this game sounds like a series of QTEs integrated into actual gameplay rather than being part of cutscenes...
Sounds pretty awful.

Haah. I haven't played any of the Splinter Cell games since the first one, but I'm glad to hear that the AI still hasn't caught up with, well, anything. I still fondly remember leaving a bloodied body in the middle of a room, a terrorist coming in and screaming, "HE MUST BE CLOSE!" and began scouring the room. After walking around, blankly staring into some shadows, he said, "It was probably nothing," and began walking towards the door, completely forgetting about his fallen comrade.
Comparing the 2 is pointless - gameplay styles are both different, although Conviction is very much about stealth despite what the naysayers may claim. Just not the same kind of stealth.The_AC said:
A couple of things:
- Reed wants the Vice President to become President, Reed himself doesn't want to be President.
- It says Sam is 5'10" on the front of the Double Agent box.
Thanks for the crack at my place of residence. It's always nice to know that blind hate at Quebec will be present with everyone regardless of whether they've been there or not.
I understand what you mean about stealth, though. My experiences with stealth are pretty limited but I always preferred to simply run by them rather than kill or 'knock out' guards. One thing that's always bothered me, though? Why, in video games, are there no fat, lazy security guards who do nothing more than sit in their office?
