from shopping.yahoo.com
the only thing i have against it is the overall game length, and ultimately linear plot, which is something that will always be the bane of a single player rpg.

for anyone who's just beginning to play this game or have not progress very far yet, there are interesting plot twists to the story that make it fun when they're revealed.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from speedemon847, www.shopping.com
superb graphics, great story plot, ad silent killing await you in this splendid game.
from www.amazon.com
the plot of a shooter is so much different because it's mostly spying not just shooting.
from www.amazon.com
the game smoothly starts off in a training base, where you get to know the story's plot, and efficiently learn the controls.
from www.amazon.com
while it is not based on a book, the plot is classic clancy, with the generic russian megalomaniac plotting to take over the world and blah, blah, blah.
from www.amazon.com
this game also has a deep plot, but most of the story unfolds during gameplay.

this game has an unbeleiveable plot line, while at the same time it maintains the fast moving, and sometimes brutal action we all love in first peron shooters.

from www.amazon.com
the game play, level complexity, dialogues, and story plot really engaging and hard to predict.
from www.amazon.com
the twists in the plot are unexpected and keep you on your toes as you desperately try to figure out your role in it all.
from www.amazon.com
as usual 2k has made a game the is quite twisted in nature but the game play its self any gamer would enjoy, just the story plot would probably give you the chills if your a bit squeamish.

Jade Empire

like fable, it does start off slow (plot development/training, etc.), but once your main character begins his/her quest, the game really takes off.
from www.amazon.com
from the people who brought us knights of the old republic comes another genre-blending game with a fabulously twisting plot.
from www.amazon.com
where a game like this often flags is the plot--such as fable.
from www.amazon.com
subquests help flavor the storyline further, but aren't necessary to complete the main storyline, which contains its share of predictable and unpredictable plot turns.
from www.amazon.com
if you have played "knight's of the old republic" you will know that bioware's storytelling is top-notch and they only improve with jade empire's plot.

lot, and indeed, at first you're only getting one or two at a time, but near the end of the game they start to come in clumps of ten or more, and several of them are awarded as part of the main plot.

very early in the game the player should be roughly aware of the path the plot is going to take.
from www.amazon.com
you play as jade, an "action reporter" who becomes embroiled in a plot to expose a government conspiracy.

the alpha sections, the elite forces of the planet, claim to be defending the population, and the majority of the plot focuses around their actions.

the only downside to this game is that it is very short, and the is no more to do after you finish the game except play it again (which is supprisingly fun to do), but with the two huge plot twists

you always feel in control with halo 2 and rarely will you ever be lost but sometime the plot will throw you of course which is a gripe about this game it's just much more confusing then the first.
from www.amazon.com
it has a pretty weird ending, but the extreme gameplay, rich level design, xbox live and other new multiplayer features make up for the somewhat dull plot.
from www.amazon.com
they try to mix the single player campaign up with a plot twist early in the game, and i don't want to spoil it for those who haven't played it yet, needless to say you will play as more than one
from www.amazon.com
yes this game does have a story, but the plot is very cheap.
from www.amazon.com
the game is just as fun to play as the original, but without having played the first game, some of the plot elements are lost on newbies.

throughout the levels, you must stop drake and his men from their evil plots, which means alot of gun action and suspense.

from www.amazon.com
i found this game very difficlut to put down even though it has a slightly confusing political plot.
from www.amazon.com
here's my critique: (spoiler) the game play here is pretty enjoyable, although it is so frequently cut off by numerous twists in the interminably complicated plot.
from www.amazon.com
the game has masterful plot twists, but they stack up on each other at the end of the game to overall give the game a poor story.
from www.amazon.com
in terms of story, this game is unfathomably exciting (a bit long at times, but otherwise great) with plot twists that keep you guessing till the very end.
from www.amazon.com
there's more plot twists than are reasonable, and frankly, some of them are so ludicrous it's hard to believe the designers aren't insulting my intelligence.

in a brief summary, the basic plot is simple involving the main character, ryo, who has witnessed the murder of his father, but it unfolds as the epic story of his quest to avenge his father's death.

and combined with a nice plot, it makes you get in the game...
from www.amazon.com
the plot as the game progresses is trivial.
from www.amazon.com
while it's not the most original premise, the plot and voice acting add the required amount of motivation to keep you interested and move things along.
from www.amazon.com
it's also not going to win any plot awards, so don't expect to become particularly attached to the characters.
from www.amazon.com
the plot is fairly shallow, despite its attempt to create a "history", but nonetheless is cool and addictive.

*story: kind of weak; you could care less about the plot; it feels more like 10 separate missions than one continuing story.in closing, you may notice that the pros are the major things and the cons

while it is not based on a book, the plot is classic clancy, with the generic russian megalomaniac plotting to take over the world and blah, blah, blah.

the plot of the game is rather "common", however, the characters moves, and weapons kick but!
from www.amazon.com
however, combined with great gameplay, neat gadgetry, stealth, and a plot that only tom clancy can put his stamp on makes this by far the best game you'll ever play.

from www.amazon.com
i love the plot, and its gritty realism coupled with harsh realities make it plausible, even if it's not.
from www.amazon.com
there are plot twists and some really scary or tense moments, the level design is for the most part excellent, and the missions themselves are varied and nonrepetitive.
from www.amazon.com
the plot is completely unique and completely addicting, with several twists along the way.
from www.amazon.com
the plot does get you intrigued.
from www.amazon.com
but what adds to this simple premise is an astonishing blend of character interaction and sub-plots that could help you figure your way out of the prison.
