it's a hard game. I like hard games. the lerning curve is just right. hard because of the AI. not 'cause of the "eyes-on-backs" guys (like too many game that the npc' even see you and turn in your direction and start to shoot) or 'cause of the guys stronger than you. this is the smarter and funniest action game i have ever played. why? let's go to the review:
Premise:
the premise is not too uncommon: you're an Secret Agent of third Echelon. an fictitous agency. as an secret-ops agent you must walk silently and try to kill your enemies making no noises. a hard mission? no, just a challenge. do you like challenges? i do. i love a challenge. easy games are boring. this is the game premise.
Gameplay:
the best part of the game. the gameplay is an unique experience. don't try to pretend the John Rambo style. it's an dumb way to play this game. you have more mechanic objects than weapons. you can use weapons to kill your enemies, but i don't recommend you to do this. the weapons are better to destroy cameras and lights. specially 'cause of the fact that you don't have many ammo. is better get you enemies inconcious, using hand-to-hand combat . you are an american ninja. you can get up walls and fall down by cords around the scenario. be cautious. making noise can result on certain death. walking on the shadows is a good way to go in game. take care. the enemies are very smart and if you do any noisy movement they'll detect you.
Graphics:
one of the masterpieces of the game. the graphics are beautiful and very well-done. but the best of the graphics is the lights. all the lightmap changes when you destroy any of the lights. the shadows and the lights is totally dinamic and are very realistic. perfect to a game that you get yourself hide in the shadows.
Sound:
the music is very good. it fit with the game universe. when someone see you the music get faster and more loud. the voice acting is very convincing. the people screaming when see you with a gun. the conversations. all the voices were very well done. man, the russian voices are very funny.
Replay Value:
high. it's a good game, but replaying it get boring if you play it on easy again. if you plans to replay it, replay on medium, or hard.
Final Considerations:
it's a outstanding game. if you like the style, you must play it to speak about stealth action games.
