Does this mean you hate any 2d game? Because there are a lot of good ones... :)
There's nothing wrong with linear levels... actually, the more linear nature of Rayman 2 was one reason I liked it so much when compared to the Mario 64-style of wandering around a square 'world'... both types are good, but I liked Rayman 2 a lot because it got back more to oldschool platformers which of course were all straight path, not open...
You bring up platformers.. which, IMO, require that linearity to maintain momentum.
Saying Splinter Cell was "pathetic" was a gross exagerration, but it's not all that I thought it would crack up to be. If it did have the large open level designs with many routes and lots of patrolling guards etc. etc, I'm sure I would have loved it. Most likely, BETTER than MGS2.
And 2D > 3D :)
