If I have a tendency to review games positively, it's because I often abandon a game if it doesn't grab me.
I never log an abandoned game.

Snake Eater is by no means a bad game. In fact, it's a very good game. That said, compared to Sons of Liberty, it feels like a downgrade emotionally and narratively.
Maybe it's a me problem, but I find the camp tone and 1960s James Bond-esque spy elements a little old hat and alienating, especially since I never found those films compelling.
Finally, this game features too many cutscenes for its own good. It's not as egregious as Guns of the Patriots in the amount of cutscenes it has, but the story isn't as compelling as Sons of Liberty's and I don't remember that game featuring nearly as many cutscenes.
I wanted to enjoy this one more because I've heard nothing but praise for it. Maybe it was just my expectations after Sons of Liberty, but I wanted more.
