Lets see... why don't we make a game that's exactly like Splinter Cell only it doesn't look as good and you have to play as a stupid girl. Yeah, that's immersive... especially since I have a penis.
HELLO! Let us compare what we know so far about the two games...
GRAPHICS
Splinter Cell: gritty, cool, original graphics with grea light sourcing.
SC Ghost: typical direct 3D looking graphics.
APPARENT GAMEPLAY:
Splinter Cell: I played it at E3, and it was beyond uber awsome! The controls were superb. The immersiveness of the engine was great... I actually felt like I was a super dude on a covert ops mission. Has cool, modern technology.
SC Ghost: looks kinda like the sci-fi alien levels in Turok. The main character has really big thighs. Not very immersive for guys... sorry, but I don't want to get in touch with my feminine side when doing covert ops, I wanna feel manly and kick ass. Probably has stupid futuristic weapons like UT2K3 (ok, I'm making an assumption. But if you don't have stupid weapons like UT2K3 you get bad reviews for having the same [great] guns as every other game).
HYPE
Splinter Cell: not overly hyped. Snuck into the world, but is getting solid previews both by magazines and by people like myself who have played a little bit of it.
SC Ghost: a TON of hype, and we're already dissapointed. No game can live up to this (except DOOM III, haha).
PATFORMS
Splinter Cell: XBox, PS2 and, thank heavens, the PC.
SC Ghost: XBox, PS2... who is Blizzard neglecting here? Oh, yeah, the LOYAL FANS! PC Gamers are the ones who gave Blizzard their untarnished (if not overrated) reputation, and now they're going to come out with their new (and only) action title and say "console only?" That's crap.
Sorry, but I am very dissapointed. What a bunch of poop. I think a new expansion for StarCraft would get more fans excited than this has.
