While The Sum of All Fears is not the greatest of games on PC, it is far better than the console port, which has a significantly neutered AI, dumbed down in order to compensate for lack of keyboard controls, and for fears of the game killing the player too quickly and scaring off a wider audience. So you get hilarious bits like at 9:50.
Hearing someone on video game focussed RUclips channel casually say "I've never played Halo" is genuinely shocking to hear. It's one of those series you just assume everyone has at least played once at a friend's house or something
I remember playing this on PC. It uses a bunch of assets and character models from the original Ghost Recon. The thing is, Ghost Recon came out before this and had for the time really big maps so the low poly models were far more forgivable and much less noticeable. This did indeed look like crap at the time. Enemies were way more dangerous in Ghost Recon compared to this, maybe just because they also used the same AI which functioned a lot better in open environments compared to close quarters stuff where they're kinda too dumb to deal with things like doors.

Science Fact about the Baltimore Stadium: it hosts the Baltimore Ravens. At this time I think it was still called PSI Net Stadium. People called it "Piss in it" Stadium
Okay I'm from Baltimore, and didn't expect to hear that they were going to plant a bomb in the Raven Stadium. Also there are no skyscrapers near the stadium. Lol
16:57 i feel like they were given instructions in the mission brief before the beginning of the level that told them what to do and how to do it. i could be wrong though

7:03 was this really only available in Europe for the PS2??? I used to have a copy of Ghost Recon for the PS2 that had a trailer for this and XIII (I’m from all the way in Ohio 😂) so it’s seems so bizarre to me that there would be a trailer for a game that I would likely never be able to buy! 2002, what a crazy year
Sometimes regions where a game actually wasn't released might have gotten lucky as in "This one specific store decided to import because it seemed like they would sell enough to compensate for the importing fee" and so a few copies might end up in those regions still :)

@@Farlox201115 Shit man, I'm not that big of a gamer myself, so I won't be much of a help - look up Counterstrike or Tactical Ops, they're more of a shooter type of thing instead of a tactical one,. but maybe they're what you're looking for.
The intro jingle always puts a smile on my face. I still think the intro video should have worst games mascots, rather than established, good game mascots. But I’m just an idiot with a useless opinion, and I’m sure it would take a lot of extra work, that I would definitely take care of if given the opportunity 😉
Good ep Bois. Enjoyed the science facts. Wasn't just the usual ratings etc. Always feel that more research should be done into films and user reviews etc. There's surely some gems of comments
I thought I was the only one! It always felt so awkward, like I was a robot spitting bullets and not a human soldier. I was beginning to wonder if I was just some kinda weird spoiled brat but nope; cheers m8, we are the two sane people I know of😹
"I don't understand why the police were coming if you were cleared by the CIA." Son, you need to learn a little more about how the CIA operates. Great review guys.
Sum of all fear was one the best games i have ever played, spend about 3 yrars playing that when i was 13 till it died on line best years of my gaming life. My old clan hell razors, used to play agianst iqn
Being Dick Mycinko really rubbed off on Tom Clancy's Ben Potter, it seems. Well, the combat skills, not the nonstop torrent of profanity while shooting guys.
"Mountain Men" was the name of a far right militia/terrorist group in Northern Idaho back in the 90s. They had close ties to the Aryan Nations. Gotta love us 'muricans.
You should see Transformers The Game's end credits where they I shit you not horribly misspelled the name of the Arbiter himself, Keith David. They spelled it as Kieth David. Bet he's really happy about that one.

9:34 Replayed that like 5 times...still makes me burst out laughing every time.
I had to play over Winster Austhill a couple times.
Guess was a flaw in the game or something lol.
@@cable30 his path finder is so broken not even in Ghost Recon 1 games wouldnt even do this lmfao
yeah me too
Peep's and Benny's reaction at 9:34 made me remember them losing their minds at the Little Britain video game.
F*ck you Adam
I can't believe America never got this Tom Clancy game (on PS2)
BRACKETS
9:32 was absolute gold
Hearing someone on video game focussed RUclips channel casually say "I've never played Halo" is genuinely shocking to hear. It's one of those series you just assume everyone has at least played once at a friend's house or something
Between 9:34 and it all ending at 10:11 has to be one of the greatest moments in this series 😂😂
I agree.
It's felt like a while since we got a true, iconic WGE moment and that first enemy in the doorway just shot into the top 5.
After all these terrible games, I think this is the first time one's broken them down into hysterics in the first ten minutes.
9:35 not laughed that hard in a long long time
[24:11] Football Stadium ... I guess that means ...
Oh yeah, here we go, Sports Time!
Tom Clancy was directly involved with Red Storm which is why his name’s stamped all over their games!
It's the attention to detail and hardcore realism that really set the early Tom Clancy games apart.
When the not couldn't hit you from so close and was shooting everywhere.I lost it with y'all hahahahahha
This is gonna slap some Richard.....

I remember picking this up from Woolworths. 2 days later I went back to return it. Had to put on my best sad, puppy eyes but I got my £20 back.

So hard!
Ouch that hurt

This episode is so Richard slapping good
16:57 i feel like they were given instructions in the mission brief before the beginning of the level that told them what to do and how to do it. i could be wrong though
I always felt like this was just a reskin of Ghost Recon
My mum bought this for me when it first came out on PS2. I rung childline but it’s didn’t count as child abuse.
They fucked ye mate
YESSSSSSS MY FAVE SERIES ON RUclips...MOREEEEEE IN MY EYE HOLES. Loved Ben playing Alan Insulation on VIDIOTS twitch.. cracking stuff.
They shoot like the puppets from Team America.
at 9:34 they skip clean over laughter and go straight to the tears, I have never seen that before
I was just wondering if it was Worst Games Ever Sunday then five minutes later this goes up XD
At the 10 minute mark is a prime example of an XCOM soldier missing a 99% shot. 🤣
17:45 Nailed him.
Good American accent there.
How dare they not give us our Tom Clancys. Thems is our bread and butter.
this game was so good to me when i was a kid

"L2, you're right!" - totally cracked me up
Actually, several nuclear weapons have disappeared over the years. Where they are now is anyone’s guess 😆
damn. Why did they do my Sum of all Fears like that...?
Contrary to popular belief this is the greatest atom Clancy game and America has lost by not getting this
20:54: Great Hitman reference!
3:05 my explanation to my math teachers throughout school.
"We're The Mountain Men - saddle up!" almost burst my hernia stiches.
Not even Morgan Freeman could save this one
The American Football team in Baltimore are called the Ravens. After the E.A. Poe poem. He lives across the street from the stadium
Slaps richard all over, this one does
i'm crying of laughter. this is amazing.
The game on pc was great, was basically a ghost recon expansion pack
I'm with everyone else, this slaps a criminal amount of richard
K so the Winston voice is my new favourite impression with Aagrid a close 2nd
I played this back in the day, the PC version was not that bad.

The poor man's rainbow six
6:45 Just.. Why does Ubi Soft have the NUMBER FIVE instead of an S, at the bottom???
The movie and book this is based on are great.
The game... great for a whole other set of reasons. lol
Hey walrus clannn. Hope you are all well
I hated these original Ghost Recon style games where the player's weapon model isn't visible, awful

10:00 dorkus is back
Sum of all fears is written by rom Clancy no? So does that make it a tom clancy game??? These are the questions that keep me awake
Worth the two week wait for this awesome 😎 vid
I have the pc version, it's much better than the ps2 version. It comes in a case that opens up like a book
Online play was amasing
Well I have not heard this title 🤔
6.3.22
Game was awesome. A great blend between Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon
That second enemy was...doing his best? I mean there was an attempt I'm sure.
Right?
...Right??

Ah, the late 90s and early 2000s, before control schemes were standardized and every developer did whatever they wanted.

This was my favorite game. But now my computer cant run it. Anyone has a idea of how i can make it run?
how the hell did you even download it
@@abdullahshahbaz4745 just a casual downloadning. I even see the launcher but it just Wont open.
Honestly the Sum of All Fears is really a great game, if you want a bad tactical shooter I suggest you try The Regiment or even worst Take Down.
Anyone get anxiety thinking about nuclear bombs going off?
I mean, the first 2 were only less than 80 years ago!
Eek!
Went to buy that fresh ass hoody Peter is wearing and y'all only have it in black so I didn't buy. Def bring back that maroon wit the orange is haaaard
Ben, don't listen to Peter. You were pronouncing "nuclear" correctly.
Bust this was on of my favourite films and my favourite jack ryan
Wow, this was made by the people behind the Rainbow 6 Vegas and Ghost Recon games? How did this happen? Those are quite good games I thought.
You say it's all about the 2000's War on Terror, but the movie is based on a book from 1991 and THAT has Jihadi terrorists while the film (and by extension, the game) DOESN'T
The AI is playing with a USB steering wheel
The Sum Of All Fears? Well, let me think for a brief moment: There's F.E.A.R. 1, F.E.A.R. 2 and F.E.A.R. 3, so, 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
The answer is 6.
We now know what happened to all of the stormtroopers after the fall of the empire.... they ended up working for Austrian Neo-Nazis. Them boys can't aim for bantha poodoo!
Did you guys just download a ROM because you cba to set up a PS2. I just noticed the XBone controller
They said before its really hard to capture from a PS2 so they emulate
"Still Waters run Deke"
10:04 the boys (OR GIRLS!) are broken,
You don't even have the skills to finish the first mission on hard difficulty let alone explore the game 😂😂
The Iraq war was 2003, not 2002. Afghanistan started in 2001, but it had nothing to do with WMDs.
