The only that I don't like is that guards don't seem to notice when you open and close doors.

They do if it makes a lot of noise.

I know that. I meant the guards don't seem to notice the change of lightning in the room as long as I am in the dark.

eb is now saying 2/18 as well.

If your really into the game (and have an xbox) just get the xbox version. Its graphics are so good that it your not gonna care about a pc version which has a few more pixels or a tad bit of lighting.

Walk. Or sit on a trash lid and paddle your way through it. This game is definetly worth it, like Smolek said. BTW, it might seem short on replay value but there are multiple ways to play the game through to make it worthwhile

i have it for xbox, played it for a couple weeks but now i havnt touched it since i got Hitman 2, splinter cell was too confining for me, like you could only accomplish the mission a certain way. Still a great game but i like Hitman 2 much better.

There are multiple ways to accomplish your tasks in SC - it's not all one sided. Hitman 2 lacks any real substance to the game. Sure you can don uniforms and disguises but it's completely worthless in the Japan levels, making it just another 3rd person shooter. I have the game and was impressed at first but realized there are other games with more depth and playability than H2

Just bought it, too bad I'm at work. Yeah yeah, FSAA doesn't work too well on it and its gonna have a patch soon, but who cares. Play the game at 1600X1200 on a 9700 and you wont need FSAA.......... as much...........

Played the game all night last night, came into work about an hour late... oh wells. Game was sweet, I'm still getting used to the controls and stuff. Like I didn't know you could run, jump, and land softly, so I made all this noise and the damn gaurd came after me. Man I played SOCOM on PS2 before this, and the AI is like 1 million times better. Puts SOCOM to shame, but then again the AI on SOCOM wasn't supposed to be great, just multiplayer is fun. anyhow, back to work.
