THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME. Gameplay wise this is one of the best games in the franchise. It is so butter smooth, the level design offers tons of options and ways to access your objectives. And it's one of the first games to allow more runner gunner loud gameplay. Not that Sam fisher should ever be like a Call of Duty character. But having options is welcome.
There is just tons of content here, and the side missions are equally well designed. It is a blast sneaking through areas undetected without killing anyone. But taking them out is still satisfying. I sadly never got the chance to play the co-op missions which I probably would have loved even more.
Obviously, this game not having Michael Ironside is a downside. But the new guy they got, while not sounding like Sam at all, does fine with the material. And in general yes, the writing is just off this time. The story is pretty lackluster. But honestly, I did not feel much about the narrative in the original game or double agent either. This is a series where the gameplay took priority.
This title just holds up really well. The animations, the freedom in playstyle, the level design. It's a great game that I will come back to many times.
