Oh thank you Ubisoft for giving Sam a LETHAL KNIFE ATTACK!!

Grrr! (Grrr of joy), how many times has this happened to you in Splinter Cell:

ok you' re sneaking about right? suddenly you' re face to face with some guard' s boots. It seems he caught you, and has his gun pointed at you in a split second. In reality, you' d immediately tackle the guy, wrestle the gun off of him, elbow his neck, anything to prevent from getting shot at! But in Splinter cell no... you' d have to give him repeated elbow strikes, each 3 seconds apart, while he empties his gun magazine into your chest. You could draw your gun too of course, but by the time you aim it at his head, you' d have been shot 3 times already. Grrr!

but now...

you can...

KNIFE HIM IN A SPLIT SECOND!, it sure adds superb realism. This was the only problem i found that detracted from the overall realism of the previous SC games. While i still don' t fancy the menu system of Sam' s other moves, at least now there' s something quick to do in the event of getting caught. Now i can truly believe that... i am sam. Sam and i are one.

sam i am i do not like green eggs and ham

I actually liked hitting people with the elbow more. The art of quickly stabbing a person just doesn' t appeal to me for some reason. Maybe it' s the animation itself that creeps me out, but it just looks too violent (and yes I realize guns blaze everyone in SC )

if it' s anything like knifing people in Metal Gear' s Snake Eater.....i' ll buy the game for that alone, and not the fact that i like this series. in metal gear, i used the knife when ever the hell i possibly could. there' d be 15 gaurds chasing me around and i was busy taking hostages and sliting throats.....and the animation of it was pretty cool too.
