I'm going for other. The Syphon Filter series quietly kicked arse. But splinter cell is amazing!
Thief, blackjack down. No game has come closer to perfectly achieving stealth gameplay.
As for the others, I've never gotten the same feeling from 3rd person stealth games that I have from 1st person. I have played hitman and splinter cell, and they did work pretty well, but they were missing the feeling of immersion you can only get from 1st person. Deus Ex did have the 1st person perspective, but it was lacking in other areas, such as sound, lighting, enemy AI, and that feeling of vulnerability, all of which thief did awesomazingly.

Hm, for me I think I found MGS: Twin snakes to be really good. Never really got my hands on any better stealth game anyways
Anything with a silenced pistol immediately becomes a stealth game for me. I would run around in Rainbow Six: Las Vegas with a silenced pistol and the shield so when they finally caught on to where I was shooting from all their machine gun spray was absorbed. Then you just kinda back into a room set some traps, wait for them to get near then BOOM! Then just continue to sneak with a pistol.
Nothing like taking a spray and pray game and turning it into your own stealth game.

I first played Thief: Deadly Shadows back in 2004 and loved it, then finally got around to playing the first two this past Christmas. Like everyone's said, Thief is a lot less linear than most stealth games, and has better stealth.
But what really makes me love Thief more than Hitman or Splinter Cell is that it's freaking scary. All those other games make you feel like an invincible shadow warrior, which to me is a huge wasted opportunity. Making a game where hiding is the main objective is just asking to be scary. Unlike SC or Hitman, your enemies aren't just dumb thugs, there are undead zealots, magical cultists, creepy victorian robots, and goddamn WALKING STATUES.

So your admitting its a stealth game, now? Your example of this so called bad A.I. (apparently turning a genuine stealth-em-up into whatever genre you have in mind for it) is nitpicking on a level Yahtzee could learn a thing or two from. I don't even know why your bringing it up.Indigo_Dingo said:
