I can't believe I fell for the "kinda like Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid"... no way. The only thing similar about this game to the other ones is the stealth factor. The camera panning is the worst I've seen in games it's sad.
Although the stealth kills make it fun, it ends there. The camera is so unruly that once you set it to where you want it, it automatically changes because it makes it more difficult to execute a kill if you can barely see your enemy. what sense does that make? I should be able to look wherever I want without switching to 1st person "VIEW mode" but not able to move the characters around.
The fighting sequence is annoying because you could be swinging at the enemy and if he sidesteps a few inches to your left or right, your character carries on its combo like there's an enemy in front of it. Shooting your shuriken or arrows? the indicator shows the enemy on target but when you throw it, you end up hitting the wall in front of you. It looks more like a bug to me than a design built into it.
Oh yeah, no checkpoints... you screw up, you start the stage over again. I am disappointed in this game as I can see it having the potential to be a great game but the controls and cameras are the worst I've seen in a long time.
If you're looking into stealth action games and don't own Splinter Cell, my biggest advice to you is save your [money] and get Splinter Cell instead of this game.
