Engine and gameplay aside, the game's premise is possibly the worst I have ever seen. It takes the realistic world situation of Splinter Cell and transforms it into terrorism against foreign countries, wherein the terrorist is the most machoman guy that any prepubescent teenage boy ever wished he could be.



Let me get this straight: we get points for blowing up Southeast Asian infrastructure, and then we make one-liners about how stupid and backwards the country and its president is? Does this strike no one here as simple-mindedly racist and inhumane? You play as a terrorist, that blows up buildings for no other reason than that the government is 'bad chinese man.' That's not a premise, that's called nationalistic hatred and racism.



The game's treatment of female characters also takes a step beyond disgusting, with such ridiculous features as a strip club in the sky, kept afloat by a blimp? Although there's no way you could argue that this is supposed to be witty or 'poking fun at the genre', JC2 comes close.



I would love to play this game, since it has a really interesting engine and a beautiful environment, but only if its entire story development team were put in jail and replaced with some people that have graduated from elementary school.



Any thoughts on its plot from anyone else? Am I missing something about the plot - have I not gotten deep enough into the story? I remember when I was 12 years old, and I don't think he would have been able to bear through this, either.Engine and gameplay aside, the game's premise is possibly the worst I have ever seen.
