They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

The most fun I ever had playing 4 people on the same console was with Power Stone and Smash Bros 64.
Video games as social games? Lame!
The best are games like Taboo, Pictionnary, Guesstures, or even Monopoly.
It can get very hysterical :)
i was in a friend house the other day, and he owns the wii. we play wii sports with other friends and family and it was really fun. specially to play socially.
At parties, most people would be non-gamers, so most people would have no interest in playing Warhawk or Halo or Smash Bros. or Rock Band.
Here's a better list of party games:
1) Wii Sports
2) Mario and Sonic at the Beijing Olympics.
3) Other games that haven't come out yet.
No one wants to play with 18 button controllers except nerds (I'm a nerd), and that's why the Wii is "winning".
Still rules..
