This is far better than the previous one,and in a class of it's own.
According to the story:An ambitious Indonesian,Suhadi Sadono,has a personal grudge against the Americans.So he plans to kill them all with a dangerous biological agent,namely a virus.So he attacks a U.S government house,takes people for hostage.That's when you come in.Sam Fisher has grown older and more mature.He hasn't lost his touch,though.He can still do all sorts of things,namely everything from the previous game.Stealth is by far the best decision to take than shoot everyone up with the SC-20K !When you finish each mission a new clue is revealed and that is what makes the game so interesting.You chase a guy nicknamed "Mortified Penguin'' in a train,hack his laptop and from the information visit Jerusalem to find what exactly is the 'biological agent'and recover it.From then,it's pretty simple:Neutralise the virus.You play missions in Indonesia,Jakarta,Nice,Lyon and even New York !
The graphics are crisp with great sound effects.(Lambert's voice is as alerting as ever before).The moves are executed with perfection.
This is a great game,but the drawbacks are:They could have made it more interesting by adding more features.The features haven't changed or developed.Apart from this you can't think of many negatives but there are a few.Overall it's a great game to play and even more great to see someone else playing.
