Yeah, it's a different take on the genre. It has some wierd points, like the required shithouse camera, as well as the fact that there are 4 determined gameplay modes: General Outdoor, Indoor Stealth, Indoor Combat, Indoor Shooting. As you go along, you get skills that you can use indoors, but most of them you can't use outside, which is infuriating. One example is when you get the ability to attack opponents on the ground. If you've knocked someone down outside, you have to wait for them to get back up before hitting them again. Generally, I feel that the driving engine beats GTA, but the on-foot part is lacklustre. Some great parts, though.
