Quote:It's not "stealth", it's just puzzles. I mean, something where all you have to do to avoid the enemies when you fail to get through the room is run back to the last cooridor, hide in the conveniently located hiding place that there is one of before the entrance of every room, and wait until the enemies go back to their posts, is not a stealth game. It's very hard for me to call that stealth. It was sometimes entertaining, but nothing amazing for sure.
From what I've played of Metal Gear Solid and Manhunt, they have similar systems (the difference being I suppose in Metal Gear Solid was that it was less forgiving of the player alerting guards), but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who wouldn't label that gameplay as "stealth". What else should happen? Should you simply lose the game every time you're caught, with no hope to redeem yourself? You're a masochist, Fal. Maybe it was kind of lame to have conveniently placed hiding spots to restart an area, but they had to do something.
Also, I never had trouble with money. There wasn't enough to buy 2 of everything in every store, but it felt comfortable. Didn't you take pictures of animals? Maybe I was just more frugal than you were.
