Adaptive AI in Games - Does it Really Work?

qasimodo asks: "I was recently reading a preview of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and then I came across this article at GameSpot saying Pandora Tomorrow will feature adaptive AI which 'will adjust itself to players' skill level'. I remember (and is also mentioned in the PT article) Max Payne also featured this, but I never noticed it. I guess that's the best way to know if it works, since it adapts to your gaming skills, but does it really work? Have you noticed it? Do you have proof of it?"

    Maybe it just determined you suck.

    Deep breath, its a joke.

    What that game really needed was a way to adapt to your attention span. When he would launch into one of those speeches about the rain on the pavement and how it made him feel, I wanted to shoot my Playstation.
