I only played the first one, but it was so much fun! May buy Splinter Cell: Conviction when it comes out. Solid Snake VS Sam Fisher would be one hell of a showdown. Sam Fisher is voiced by Michael Ironside, which is awesome too.

I’ve never been able to get into these games, primarily because I didn’t own an original xbox until well after the first one was out.
I love these games, the only thing that always annoyed me was the the movement of the character. Always seemed a lot less fluid than MGS games.
I loved all of these games except Double Agent. Sam’s movement in Double Agent is really bad compared to the other games, getting him hidden quickly sometimes requires a miracle. The story was good, but the constant returns to the JBA headquarters (read: every other mission) gets really old and seems lazy.
I’m not sure whether or not to be excited for conviction. On the one hand, the story seems really cool, but they seem to be going with much more action and far less stealth. I could be wrong, but one thing these games NEVER did well was shoot-outs. And those few times they force you into one were my least favorite of the series.
Double agent had a great idea and the gameplay seemed really nice, but bad performance on high end PCs and so, so many bugs destroyed it for me 🙁
Killing people is bad. When you kill people, they die. Also Snake easily kicks Sam’s ass.
Pfft. Snake would get his throat slit while sitting and chatting on the phone for an hour with some dork about something pointless.
Srsly. Gimme Metal Gear anyday.
Chaos Theory was pretty badass, as was the online 2v2. I just didn’t like the rapid progression from stealth game to 3rd person shoot em up.
Metal Gear always had (at least tried to keep) a nice balance.
