I played this game after Half Life, so I modified the keyboard and mouse controls to match Half Life and stepped onto Ellis Island to begin. I liked the fact that you had to train and complete objectives to gain skill in the areas of your choice (sharpshooting and computer hacking, thanks for asking). The number of options available to you for finding ways to improve your skills was exceptional as well; you simply had to explore everywhere, including underwater, to find those extra opportunities. Plus you have the ability to choose which augmentations you want use and expand upon, although it would have been nice to have the option of using all of the available augmentations. Well thought out maps and lots of interaction with characters in the game made this an enjoyable playing experience. You could either kowtow to an informer or tell them off, and it would affect how you obtain your objective; even saving someone's life in the game could benefit you down the road. Overall, because of the options you have available to you, a very re-playable game (and I have re-played it a couple of times) and a fun experience. Highly recommended.
