... Ugh.. This is a waste of time, there are Fan boys of both series that would kill each other over this question. Having played and beaten all recent update to the series. I'm going hands down to MGS, Much more enticing story line with actual depth and character development. Splinter Cell while being very enjoyable, I found the story and characters to be very hollow and cliche. Hideo Kojima loves easter eggs and giving to his players, creating awesome memorable moments,and adding onto the series' replayability. Splinter Cell is turning into the action movie cliche, betrayed and now revenge. I am looking forward to the new Splinter Cell, but I will enjoy the games on a different level, Comparing it to MGS4 will most likely kill off splinter cell if you think of it in that comparison. What is most likely and probably sadly true is that, those of you who are saying Splinter Cell most definitely beats Metal Gear Solid probably have never played through the series. Either that or your just a fan boy with a rod stuck up your ***. I enjoy both games. Just don't compare them.

MGS :DSplinter Cell Series Vs. Metal Gear Solid SeriesI agree with dragonpurse. Metal Gear is the greatest game series I ever played. I beat all of them and I love the story more than any movie I seen. MGS4 is the best out of all of them in my opinion. :D-reply by Jimbo is SB

Splinter Cell Vs Metal GearSplinter Cell Series Vs. Metal Gear Solid Series

Ok, for those people who say Metal Gear Solid isn't realistic, and isn't a 'real' stealth game. Have you even played MG? ._." and if you have, I bet your one of those people who didn't even finish the game, let alone touch the 'Extreme' Difficulty setting... I mean of course, the game has some fictional elements in it, but so does splinter cell. 

Don't get me wrong, SC is a great game, and I did enjoy playing the series. But when it comes down to it, MG is just more fun. I played MGS3 2 times and MGS4 4 times, trying to get all discover all the easter eggs ( Big Boss Face Camo, anyone? ) But after one play through of SC:the, I felt like I've had enough. The extra unlockable equipment was not worth the 2nd play through

@Alex Cicala and people who say MG's AI is worse than SC, I bet you never played pass the easy difficulty setting, because I can assure you. The AI of MG is far superior of SC. You can't just hide in a cardboard box, it isn't that easy anymore. The enemy's sense of sight and sound increase by tenfold, and suddenly everything isn't so 'fake' anymore.

@squeaky and others who say MG doesn't require that much stealth, MG requires way more stealth than SC. Just put up the difficulty and you'll find that what I'm saying is the truth.

@Jman18 and everyone one who says SC's story is more 'realistic', Yea, fine. The story of SC is more realistic, I'll give you that. But who said realistic was better. Is there some sort of rule? If the more realistic, the better. Then games like Bayonetta, Prototype, Batman:AA, infamous, Metroid, Rachet and Clank and Final Fantasy must be sh*t. (Just some unrealistic games of the top of my head)

I do like the Metal Gear Solid Series the most. SC just seems too dark. It's a game that needs to played at night with the lights off and shades closed just so you can see the screen. Metal Gear has a much more diverse map.

Replying to huskerYou've never played it!? Or heard of it!? Wow when it comes to stealth games MGS is where it starts. I don't know how anybody can rip on this game it is sick in ways I haven't seen in another game. The strategy and patience it takes to pass this game is far beyond anything I've seen. If you don't think so than I guess you've never played MGS on extreme difficulty if I didn't have the bonuses from passing Metal Gear on the normal and hard settings I wouldn't have come close to passing MGS on extreme.
