Good at first, but wears out after awhile. Too long. Enemies are over alert for a game that promotes on stealth.

I'm still playing the game. The dated graphics don't bother me, it's about gameplay not graphics. When you first start the game it feels really fresh, I liked setting traps, I liked the option of stealth. However, I still have yet to stab someone n the back since the tutorial. Setting traps seems useless once you start getting into the game, because stealth is so frustrating ...why bother! If you so much as even russel the leaves why moving through the brush, it alerts everyone. Trying to remain unseen hoping they will eventually calm down and give up their search proves futile, because once the troops are riled they don't settle down.....might as well just attack..

I found it annoying that as soon as you throw a gernade one enemy shouts "Grenade!" Even though it's still in teh air, and they didn't see it coming because they weren't even looking in your direction! Happens everytime! Grenades aren't as useful as they should be. Enemies spawn from places you just cleared out......having exploding mutants spawn five feet from you sucks!

Another bad featrure is the auto saves, which feel appropriate at times, but will have you frustrated wondering where they are at other times, especially during certain difficult times that will cause you to repeat several times due to death. And the fact that the enemy can always spot you even when you're hiding in the bushes also ruins the stealth aspect further.

This games just feels unbalanced and cheap sometimes and after awhile the environments start to look the same. Ambushs are obvious, you can always tell before you even enter an area that it's an area that you'll have to end up fighting for your life....it's not sublte! This has got to be one of the longest FPS i've played since REturn to Castle Wolvenstien, but unlike RTCW which I felt was balance and the levels never felt the same, most of the levels in this game have a sameness to them......doens't deserve the high rating it has gained.

Okay so I've edited my review. I played the game alot more, although I could only play this game 10 mins. at a time before getting annoyed with it. After my third boss battle, which was the same big ugly mutant who swats barrels at you I'd decided I'd had enough. The game is so redundant that it even recycles bosses.....endless stretches of jungle terrain on every level started to make the levels indistinguishable. It was nice when I didthe mine level, at least it broke up the monotony. Anyway I decided to trade teh game in for a small $3 off...wow!! This game tortured m I wanted to keep playing it because there are moments I really enjoy it, but they became outwieghed byt the moments I didn't.
