This game is in the Action genre, with a good rating, so I tried it. It is really a mistake to call this game an action game. This game is all about sneaking around. It's easy to mow everyone down if you want to, but there's not much excitement in it. The only real challenge is in going undetected, but that means sneaking around almost ALL OF THE TIME. It gets monotonous. I like action games that break the pace with sleath, but the slow pace of always having to sneak around gets boring. Also, the controls are not designed well for action. The game is not very responsive to the mouse and keyboard. If you try to turn around too fast with the mouse, the game doesn't respond and you actually go SLOWER! This game was interesting in its style, but there are MUCH better action games out there. Only buy this game if you like the pure sleath approach.
