    From what I hear, it is extremely different then the 360 version, and in many cases better. Anyone have a few examples of the changes? It seems like Ubi may have pulled another one of their tricks.

    I have it and I think its great. I have a 360 but dont have the 360 version, just the xbox one. I havent played single player yet, just split screen coop and I must say I LOVE it. Its funny as hell with 2 losers trying to work togather and be sneaky.

    We are always shooting each other and slamming doors on each other and crap. I would say get the xbox version if you want coop since im not sure its in the 360 one.

    Anyway, which ever way you go its a great and fun game. :thumbsup:

    Well, having the Xbox 360 version, there are a few things in it that annoy me that may be different in the Xbox version. First is that the game visibly stutters (just like old NES games) when there is too much going on. The controls seem to me to be lagging sometimes, though this could just be me noticing the wireless lag as I tend to do. I don't know why, but they no longer caption the voices during the missions either. This is a real problem on the tanker level since half the time the voiceovers either don't play at all, or they are drowned out by the (very well done) snow squall.

    The only other thing that I really have a problem with is that the camera just seems to be entirely too close to the character. It is really much more difficult to position yourself at a corner and "peak" around it with the camera than in previous games. I don't know if this is an attempt to force the player into snapping up against the wall to see around corners, but it is annoying to say the least.

    I don't care about multiplayer, so I cannot comment on it.

    Well I agree that the camera is a tad to close. The only time I notice it is when I go through cracks or crawlspaces though.


    What I can say is that it runs perfect on xbox. I think its a updated chaos Theroy engine. Theres no lag or stuttering even in 2 player coop. I think its because they have been making SplinterCell on xbox for a while but this is the first time on 360 so the xbox is better made. Anyway just my 2 cents.

    Yeah, and the load times are horrible on the 360 version. It takes awhile to load to the main page from the slash screens, then it takes extra time just to load the single player menu, then it has to load the levels (Not to mention it loads the dialog each and every time, so it takes even longer, and you can't skip it).
