10 Co-Op Video Games That Created More Enemies Than Friends
4. Splinter Cell Doubles The Frustrations Of Stealth Gaming
Stealth games by their very nature are meant to be challenging and often frustrating gaming experiences. There is a trial and error nature inherent to the concept that makes even the best games of the genre an exercise in zen-like patience. Its amazing, though, how much of that zen goes right out of the window when your companion runs right into a guards line of sight with guns blazing like a coked-up Leeroy Jenkins.
While the Splinter Cell series has always sported a well-designed co-op mode, it never fails to produce moments where a slip of the thumb or moment of wavering patience manages to undo a complex espionage mission in an instant. Let's just say that theres a very good reason that James Bond rarely worked with partners.
