    Best stealth based series

    In your opinion what is the best stealth based series of games? The two big ones are obviously the Splinter Cell and Metal Gear series, is there any other series that you think beats these two in this genre?

    People seem to really like Thief. I've never played it, though, and it's PC-only.

    The other big one you're forgetting is Hitman, though I can understand why - hasn't been a new game in gong on four years.

    Personally, my favorite stealth game was Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, with Metal Gear Solid 3 a close runner-up.

    Cheers.

        Yeah Hitman is awesome but we need a new one. Didn't the console version of Thief kinda suck?

            Always found Splinter Cell laughable because the enemies could never tell you were at their side sniffing their balls, all while wearing a green light on your back. Even the CIA headquarters made me laugh, they don't have lights in the building...

            MGS was pretty good for stealth but the enemies couldn't see very far.

            Tenchu was fun but not polished.

                I voted Splinter Cell, although the green light thing always made me laugh too. I never much cared for Metal Gear... but I may have voted other if I would have thought of Hitman. Not really sure how that one slipped my mind

                  I've always let things like that slide. It's a game after all, and I like those lights because it allows me to orientate my character when I can't see him.

                  To those above I rented thief for xbox. It was good, one of it's biggest areas of complain was the small loading areas. For example you move like 40 ft and open a new door and it loads the next area - that happened too often. It would be as if in Oblivion when you're running and you see a quick 'loading' at the bottom of the screen. Well in Thief it would go to a loading screen and take a while.

                  speaking of oblivion...it's not a bad stealth game if you play that way. lol.

                    Thief for PC was great. Water arrows FTW lol

                    MGS = Loved all before MGS4. I hated MGS4. 80% movie, 20% game. Hell they should of just released it as a movie on blue ray

                    Hitman = Best stealth game

                    Anyone also remember Tenchu for playstation. It was a kick *** game for then.

                      I've always enjoyed Splinter Cell series just because it felt more realistic in terms of story. Metal Gear Solid has always been a great franchise too, but some of the hokey stuff in the story for each game has left me wondering like WTF! LOL! I still think that Metal Gear Solid 3 was the best in the series, well done all around.

                        SC has good game play, but MGS is a much better story IMO. I love Hitman though. Nothing is better than going through a level on hard and getting a silent assassin rating. I love that game.

                          Thief for sure since it pretty much started the genre in my mind.

                          Hitman gets a close second.

                            Metal Gear for Me. The Original Solid on PS1 and the Virtual Reality Trainer (VR Missions?) were super cool and fun.

                            Splinter cell's light thing always made me laugh also.

                              Hitman, it has been a while since a new one but supposedly there is a new one on the way by the end of the year.
