This game is alright. The first time you play you'll be like what the... because the controls and the way the game handles is a bit strange. But after the first story level you will be more used to it. A bad thing is the frame rate. I know it is a hand-held but it is very sloppy. Sometimes you'll go into closed spaces and get lost because the game can't keep up with you movements. The graphics are pretty good considering it came out maybe a year after the DS came out to the market. The story in the game is pretty decent and I liked it. Still seemed kind of bland to me though. You can sometimes go a whole level sneaking around without killing or knocking out anyone. The games difficulty level varies throughout the level. Sometime during a level they will be extremely easy parts. But sometimes there will be hard areas that you will start to understand once you die or get noticed a couple of times. The stealth is alright but it can be kind of glitchy sometimes. Like if you shut off the lights in a room, you will be able to walk in front of and bump into an enemy without raising an alarm. The gear in the game are what you would expect in a stealth game like silenced pistols, projectiles that stun enemies and targets, scan lens and more. It has multi-player matches.
Over all this is a pretty good game but has lots of flaws that keep it from being superb( I really wish they would have added more variety to the weapons(even though you don't use them as much as you would like))
Rent it to see if you like it before you buy.
