Reviewing it by how I liked it back in the early 2000s.
It has grown old but it is still playable. Graphics are as good as you can imagine a game released in 2000 can have. Controls are pretty fine when you map them for your liking. I only now realized how strong tactic it is to lean from behind a corner in the game.
I only played the first five missions this time and the story is a bit superficial but all in all the missions are pretty well designed.
I think it was pretty much the first 3D game providing stealth gameplay and rewarding for not shooting the place up. I was able to do the first missions without alerting enemies. In that sense, it is a trailblazer for Splinter Cell and the like.
