Sixth generation: Metal Gear Solid vs Splinter Cell.

I have to confess before we get started. I've only played one Splinter Cell game (the very first one on the GameCube) and STILL playing through my first Metal Gear game (MGS2: Sons of Liberty on XBOX 360 through the HD collection), so I can't comment on my thoughts, but I still ask, which series did you like better?

Metal Gear Solid

Originals:
MGS2: Sons of Liberty (PS2)
MGS3: Snake Eater (PS2)

Remakes/re-releases:
MGS: Twin Snakes (GameCube)- A remake of the original PlayStation game
MGS2: Substance (PC, PS2, XBOX)
MGS3: Subsistence (PS2)

Splinter Cell series (all were multiplat on XBOX, PS2, PC*, and GameCube)

*See Double Agent's note below

Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell: Double Agent- Note that this version is different than the seventh generation version (the PC version being the same as the 360/PS3 versions)

That's actually kinda hard for me. Stealth wise, Splinter Cell takes it with ease. I'd probably lean a little more towards Metal Gear though.

MGS is overall the more polished franchise imo.

Splinter Cell is much better mechanically (controls/camera/stealth, etc.).

But i vastly prefer Metal Gear Solid, it just has to much of a crazy japanese charm and memorable characters.

MGS for the action and cinematic aspects.

SC for the stealth and realism.

Overall, I enjoyed Splinter Cell more from a gameplay perspective. The singleplayer portions were solid and had that great Tom Clancy feel to them, but the multiplayer in PT and CT was just amazing, even with the steep learning curve.

Metal Gear, easily.

I enjoyed Spliter Cell up untill Double Agent.

I only enjoyed the first MGS from MGS series so I'd say Spliter Cell. (which I also think had better gameplay and graphics)
