Best Singler Player Stealth Game?

^^ It wasnt just that, its was hoping you didnt get too close to the sods that you had already dropped so they wouldnt get up again.

Im talking about before the ppl even appeared, it was a great use of music to set up a lot of tension espically when nothing much happens for the 1st part.

meh never really got in to the thief games.. they were all good and i was enjoyng bein a uber leet ninja killing people from the shadows, but then some zombie things appeared and the whole stealth thing went right out the window and i couldn't be arsed any more

i liked the splinter cell games.. as long as u do try and use stealth, but in a couple of points i did have to kill everyone.. so need to try harder on the next one

That is quite true, there are only a couple of games that just felt creepy like that

Metal Gear Solid 2, sombody get's possesed by the severed arm of someone else's arm in Metal Gear Solid. Both insane, a terrible plot/tension killer and hilarious all at once.

dont forget about the la-li-la-li-loo-lai-lo ... or however the hell is spelt

The thief series are a superb First Person Sneaker.

The Cradle in T3 is one of the finest levels in any game ever.

Didnt it get an award or something like that?

It would be worth keeping an eye out for "The Call of Cthulhu : Dark Corners of the Earth" which is released on PC in a couple of weeks. There is a fair proportion of stealth involved in that.

Personally I don't like the Splintercell series, I've completed PT and played a few levels of the original, and it just doesn't grab me and becomes very frustrating in places. I think maybe it just has a bit too much emphasis on stealth for my liking, and the pace is a bit slow. When you think about it, slowing the game down that much is almost a way of being able to get away with relatively small/few levels.

I much prefer more balanced games like Riddick or NOLF2. They have stealthy elements in places but also have some faster-paced action sections, moments of humour and a good storyline. Likewise the Deus Ex games are good in that it's down to the player how stealthy you want to be.

I forgot about the NOLF games, i have played through both using only stealth, never get spotted, only use headshots and one shot kills. Much more fun than run and gun.

Thief: The deadly Shadows is excellent. If you get it, look out for the level called The Cradle. Arguably the best designed level in any PC game ever
