Yes, but i dont count cuz i am/was a beta tester.  

And ive given my feedback already in a few threads.  Here's the synopsis:

If you like Run'n'gun games like Q3, UT2004, and all the rest, and thats the only game type you like, youre going to be painfully dissapointed with this game.  However if you enjoy the idea of stealth over sheer firepower, this is definately your game. The entire emphasis of the game is based on stealth, not brute force.  In most situations, it is a major bummer if you kill somebody, and frequently you cant kill -anybody-, or youll fail the mission.  So leave your M-60 at home and get the silenced pistol.

For Aspyr's part in making the game, its a 5/5, they did a superb job.  
For the actual game itself, 4/5, because *warning, minor spoiler* you have only one hand to hand combat move, which is whomping somebody with your elbow.  And, while that may be effective, im sure GS can tell us some of the cool things you can do to disable a person in a hurry, in any situation, instead of bludgeoning them with your elbow.  

(Yes, i know that if youre going hand to hand with people in that game on a regular basis its a bad sign, but every once and a while you do have to, and it just bugged me that you couldnt do anything else.)

The game is MP as well right?  If so, how is it considering these stealth like qualities?

Well, we had a saying in the Army...there are 3 types of bayonet soldiers....

1.  The quick

2.  The dead

3.  And the guys who still has a bullet left.

So, given any bayonet or hand-to-hand combat, we always preferred having a round left in our weapon.  But yes, when you do have to engage in true hand-to-hand combat (no weapons involved), using only your elbow is a major hinderance.

No noms, the game is not multi. The first one has never been multi, not for PC, not for Xbox. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomarrow was multi tho and when that will be coming to either computing system is a question.

I cant really see how they would mac SC multiplayer...i mean...a whole bunch of Sam Fishers running around in a Halo type DM?  Hmmmm....doesnt quite sound workable, but that might just be me.

True, it would be a bit weird (yeah just like Halo which really dosn't work out great as a MP)

I don't but id love to get my hands on it - since playing it for 15mins of a Xbox god knows how long ago i loved it (the stealthy shit rocks!) a bit weird given the fact im a hardcore QIII fan i guess - but it really did rock. And if the conversion is as good as folk say then it sounds like SC on mac is going to be a great way to pass many hours! Smiley

Lone i dunno if u played Pandora Tomarrow but the MP is nice. You have 2v2. 2 mercs and 2 spies. The 2 mercs have guns, grenades, mines, etc. The spies have the taser pistol, and other spy stuff. Basically the spies have to do an obj while the mercs try to fend them off. The tough part for the spies is the only way they can kill is by snapping the neck and the tough thing for the mercs is you dont have NV and its kind of hard to see.

Never played Pandora Tomorrow, dont have an Xbox, or any other kind of console.

I thought the MP would be something like that, i was just being sarcastic earlier, sorry, forgot to put in the </sarcasm> tag  Wink

And im not going to tell you who I am Rebs, you get to find that out for yourself if youre that curious.  

I didn't test KOTOR, there's my hint.
