This game is fantastic.

Yes, controls are clunky. You can't jump over an obstacle which comes up to your knees while vaulting over/using zip lines like a boss WHEN a special icon pops up.

But the RPG element is pure gold (other than the fact that you have one word choices which DO NOT accurately represent your response... oh and you have all of 3 seconds to decide on your response).

The combat is.... OK-ish. Much easier to rambo this game than all stealth... actually easiest is most stealth with rambo when detected. AI is of the metal gear solid variety - slacking to caution to alert. They will investigate noises.

Ability to complete levels thru various paths and means - either combat or just talking (ahh, Roma gelato!).

Warning - first missions game will suck and you will hate it.
Once past Saudi Arabia, you WILL start to like it more and more.
Then a mission or two later, you WILL love it.
