I like this game....a lot.

It's short, yes, but the replay value is actually pretty good. Speed runs, time trials, bag hunts, etc., which I initially thought were a pretty stupid idea, have turned into a big selling point as far as I'm concerned. I like banging through levels finding the perfect path, pulling off some cool shit and finding new ways to knock out bad guys.

The first person stuff is actually pretty neat. It can get a bit disorienting, especially when you try to pull off the really advanced stuff, but even then it's not that bad.

My only complaint, as far as gameplay is concerned, is that sometimes--especially on the later levels--pathfinding is incredibly difficult. There were points were I had to consult with youtube just to find the way out of the damn level. The "B" button guide thing is almost absolutely worthless whilst indoors and the red navigator thing is useful, but only when it works right. More than once I had to be on the damn ladder/pipe/whatever before it would kick red.
