| And only part of it-the graphics glitches-to the pc version if you have a 360 controller hooked up to it. The AI is bog standard stealth game AI, which means it has huge holes like "forgetting" that other people were on patrol or stepping on the blood pools of their dead comrades without thinking it might require a different approach from them. It's not Call of Duty dumb, but it's not up to a more recent Splinter Cell or a (iirc) a thief game. The really innovative part of the game is that it salvages different outcomes for different choices from text only games, and attempts to carry them over into the voice acting era, up to and including a significantly different ending and different boss fights along the way. Some of this does not hold up to a second playthrough, where it is clear a few setpieces merely have different actors in them, but it certainly holds up for one.
I've always been fond of the do selection of optional missions to affect upcoming mandatory mission format, expressed most simply in Crackdown, and it's really something else to see that turned into a narrative experience. With last generation graphics and ai, but what the hell. |
