The level design was some of the most creative ever seen in any
game of any genre, the gameplay additions (
such as Dixie and Cranky) were
terrific and meaningful, and the soundtrack (composed by the legendary David Wise) is one of the finest in gaming history.
The
game itself is not perfect and there are some unfortunate design quirks, but it's innovations
such as the optic cable and reliance on stealth and realism make it a
terrific addition to the library of any stealth action fan.
