Closet killers: Xbox 360's best stealth games

[Clanger67 59]

Yep would agree with most of them.Not sure with Dishonoured still to find out,lol.I reckon i prefer Crysis 1 rather than 2 though.Despite the on rails nature of one enjoyed it a lot more than 2,which i haven't even finished yet.

Think it sais something about the direction splinter cell is going to not make it onto this list...
If this was about the original console, splinter cell would have dominated

[OXM ETboy]

Conviction missed a mention by inches. If it's last gen stealth you're after, Chaos Theory and Thief: Deadly Shadows are probably the star picks.

[Clanger67 59]

I reckon the last decent SC this gen. was Double Agent,despite the slightly bemusing story,lol.Think it is down to some of the new IP's soon or next year to fill in the gap left by SC because i don't think it will ever be the same again as the classic first ones that made its name.

Disagree with Assassins Creed being in there, personally I feel like its an action game pretending to be something its not. After recommending the second one, as a good game, to a friend who'd never played the series his opinion on it was "its the least stealty, stealth game ever", and I can't argue with that.

Even though its not in the list and a few posts above don't like it, I still think SC Conviction was far better as a stealth game than any Assassins Creed. Especially if you include the totally separate and excellent co-op campaign.

The best stealth game on the list is deffo mark of the ninja and you have to remember that it is only a 2d platformer and yet it feels like so much more when you play it

Also have to agree with the last gen thief game as that was bloody brilliant oh and a quick question for OXM have we heard any news on the new thief game? heard the dev's who did the last deus ex game will be making it?

Agreed. There were some sections when stealth came into play, and I was genuinely excited when it happened and it seem to finally nail what Assassins Creed should have been but those moments were few and far between. Definitely an action game. And if Brotherhood deserves a mention based purely on an average multiplayer then Conviction deserves a mention based on it's excellent co-op campaign and multiplayer modes. Surely Brotherhood needs off this list and replaced by Conviction. Plus, if 2 Assassins Creed games are allowed then leaving off Hitman Blood Money is a crime. A CRIME! Would also agree that Crysis 1 offers more stealth than 2.

Really looking forward to Dishonoured. Paid no attention to it until I looked over the review. Looks amazing. And glad Hitman is coming along nicely. Was worried they had gone for action.

I thought that The Saboteur was a good stealth game, okay, maybe more action with stealth elements but still a good (underrated) game

[FishyGinger 44]

Seems like a good selection, but maybe splinter cell double agent? Not played it but isn't it in the same style as the older games?

And as for brotherhood, I know I should have been stealthy but think I was far more stealthy in skyrim, running over buildings was too much fun to stay stealthy.

Already mentioned it fourth post down.

Surely bezza will have a meltdown when he reads this? I still agree MGS is a PS series but it is playable on 360 and is a better stealth game than a few on that list!!?

I agree with the AC comments too, i love the series, but have always wanted it to be more stealthy - i just think they'd alienate a lot of the audience if they did? I know a lot of people don't like them too, but i actually love the assassin brotherhood apprentices you can train too, love walking around and then calling them in just before i strike!

Really intrigued by mark of the ninja too, will have to invest at some point...

I will say nothing more about Deus Ex... >mumble... overrated mumble mumble tedious mumble<

[Clanger67 59]

Deus Ex deserves to get a mention as a good stealth game though Sid.There is even a cheevo for not getting spotted.

[Decent_Jam 46]

I enjoyed Deus Ex and Splinter Cell Conviction, which probably says something about my attention span for stealth - I'm more of an all guns blazing (and then die horribly with bullets spraying everywhere) kind of guy.

Good games by reputation on there at least. Interesting to hear everyone's opinions on it.

[schwepterbrowser 41]

I have to agree with the AC comments as well and I thought Crysis 2 was pretty bad all-round. As others have said MGS and Splinter Cell (including the fantastic Conviction) would have been better picks.
